Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful information to know before booking your photography session.
How do I book a session?
Submit the inquiry form with your session type, preferred date, and vision. I’ll reply with availability, package information, and the next steps.
Where are you based, and do you travel?
I’m based in Sarasota, Florida, and I’m happy to travel. Sessions beyond a 25-mile radius may include a travel fee of $0.75 per mile, plus applicable tolls or parking. Any travel costs will be discussed before booking and provided in writing.
Can you help with locations and outfits?
Yes! After booking, we can plan locations, colors, and outfit ideas that fit your personality and the look you want.
What happens if the weather is bad?
I’ll monitor the forecast with you. If the weather would affect the session, we’ll choose the best available option and reschedule when needed.
How will I receive my photos?
Your finished images will be delivered through an online gallery. The number of edited images and any additional delivery options depend on the package you select.
When will I receive my photos?
Your estimated delivery timeline will be confirmed in your booking details before your session. If you need your photos sooner, rush delivery within 1–3 business days may be available for an additional fee when arranged and paid for in advance.
What is your cancellation and rescheduling policy?
Please provide written notice as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule. Retainers are non-refundable. With reasonable notice, I’ll work with you in good faith to choose a new date when possible. Requests made less than 24 hours before the session may be treated as a no-show, and the full session fee may still be due.
Do I receive a print release?
Yes. Your delivered images include permission for personal, non-commercial use, including printing, sharing with friends and family, and posting on personal social media. Desiree Cancio Photography retains the copyright. Images may not be sold, used commercially, or re-edited or filtered without written permission.
When is my session officially booked, and when is payment due?
Your date is officially reserved after your contract is signed and the required non-refundable retainer is received. The exact retainer amount will be provided with your package details. The remaining balance is due on or before the session date unless we agree otherwise in writing.
Do you provide RAW or unedited images?
No. RAW and unedited files are not delivered because they do not represent the finished work. Your gallery will include a curated selection of professionally edited images.
Can I request additional edits?
Standard professional editing is included. Extensive retouching, body alterations, background replacements, special effects, or re-editing after final delivery may be available for an additional fee and must be discussed in advance.
What happens if I arrive late?
Please contact me as soon as possible if you are running late. Lateness reduces the time available for your session and may affect the variety or quality of the final gallery. If the session cannot reasonably continue, any rescheduling will follow the cancellation and rescheduling policy.
Can minors participate in a session?
Yes. A parent or legal guardian must sign for a minor, remain present throughout the session, and manage the child’s safety and conduct. Permission to use a minor’s images for marketing can be accepted or declined separately.
