You have questions, we have answers!

What happens after I book my session online?

We love being able to provide our clients with an easy, no hassle online booking experience! Online booking makes it easy for you to give us the information we will need. You will read and sign our contract and pay the retainer fee of $100.00 (plus NC State sales tax). After we've received a notification that this has been completed, we will respond by e-mail within two (2) business days to confirm a date, time and location and answer any questions you may have included in the form. We will also then send out a final invoice which will need to be paid by the day you're set to arrive in the Outer Banks.

 

What does the package price include?

After you schedule your preferred time and date with us, we meet you at your preferred location and spend about an hour with your family on the beach. We will usually start with individuals of the kids, individual families, couples, grandparents with the kiddos, the whole family together, siblings, we have an entire rundown that we will go through automatically. Make sure you tell us if you have any special requests or needs! We will happily fulfill requests after we've finished our own run through!

 

After our session, you are going to want to keep an eye on our Facebook Page and Instagram Page for our favorites! You can expect a link to your secured on-line gallery to arrive by e-mail in around 2 weeks. At that time you may download your high resolution images directly from your on-line gallery. You may also choose to print through our professional account with White House Custom Colour for an additional cost.

 

Can I order prints?

Yes! Absolutely! We're glad you asked. The process of ordering professional prints is very simple through your on-line gallery. Each image in your gallery will have a shopping cart icon. If you click on this, it will take you to an ordering page with lots of print options! Please e-mail us or call us if you have any problems completing an order. How much are our prints?

 

Will my on-line gallery last forever?

Unfortunately, no. We pay a fee for gallery hosting and so eventually the space runs out, even in the highest priced tier. Because of space limitations, we keep galleries on-line for a minimum of one year. However, we do keep your files backed up in the office for many years. You may always contact us if you have lost access to your images.

 

What time is usually best for beach portraits?

Ahhh! Great question. Well, the light on the beach during the day is very harsh and causes some issues with squinty eyes and shadows. We want your portraits to really be their best so we suggest to shoot for the evening hours, about an hour before sunset. During season that is around 7:00pm, Spring and Fall appointments will be set for 6:00pm

 

What happens if it rains?

Outer Banks weather can be tricky and we suggest that you schedule your session earlier in the week to allow for a schedule change if the weather gets the best of us! As locals, we understand better than anybody that rainy days on The Banks happen... so we do our best to move things around to make sure we can still accommodate you. If we are absolutely unable to shoot due to weather, we offer a full refund.

 

Oh no, it's going to be windy?!

Bobby pins! There's really nothing we can do to save your hair from the wind. We will try to position you so that you may look like a wind swept beach babe but you can help by pinning the front of your hair back away from your face if it's long!

 

We are staying oceanfront.

Will you just come to our house?

Absolutely! We would prefer it! We could even take your portraits INSIDE of your beach house! (Another great option for rainy days!)

 

What should we wear??

Oh yes, what should you wear. Well, wear anything you want! We want you to be yourselves when you see us! A lot of families do choose to wear neutral colors like white and khaki or white and blue jeans. Some white is okay but it does tend to soak up the sunlight and reflect it off of your face. We find that blues and greens tend to be the best colors next to the ocean. Orange, browns and tans also work nicely. Reds and pinks may cause your skin to reflect the color. Match each other but no twinsies. Unless, of course, you are twins and then it's okay!

 

We are bringing our pups to the beach.

Can they be in the pictures?

Of course! They are part of the family too, aren't they? We, at POBX, love furry friends. Just please make sure they are on a leash and ready to sit pretty for us! Well behaved pups have definitely earned the honor to be included in the family picture! We also donate to our favorite local animal rescue at the end of the year.

 

Previous years we got flash drives with our packages,

are those still available?

Yes! We no longer offer them with the packages as we felt that the ability to instantly download your high resolution images directly from your on-line gallery would boost our ability to provide excellent customer service and assist with accessibility for family members who reside in different area codes! You absolutely may still request a flash drive as an add-on to your package! They are $50.00 each plus North Carolina sales tax. Please e-mail us if you'd like us to send you an invoice.

Allow two weeks for delivery!
