After our consultation, you'll receive a contract and invoice. A 50% deposit (or full payment for sessions under $500) is required to secure your date. The remaining balance is due on your session day. We accept credit cards, bank transfers, Venmo, and checks.
During your consultation (in person or virtual), we'll walk through complete galleries from recent sessions so you can see our full delivery, not just the highlight images. This helps ensure our style is the right fit for your vision.
Yes! Gift certificates are available in any amount and make wonderful gifts for new parents, graduates, or anyone deserving professional portraits. Gift certificates are valid for one year from purchase and can be applied to any session or product.
Don't worry—we have years of experience photographing children of all ages and temperaments! We build in extra time for breaks, keep sessions playful and pressure-free, and often capture the most genuine moments when kids are just being themselves. Trust the process!
Yes! Existing clients can access their galleries at clients.aperturestudio.com. Your private gallery link and password are emailed when your images are ready. Galleries remain active for 30 days after delivery, but images are archived for 2+ years if you need to reorder.
