To eliminate the spread of COVID-19, DNP is: • limiting the number of daily bookings. • disinfecting all props and equipment thoroughly before and after each use.

• wearing a face mask during the session.

• frequently washing and/or sanitizing hands.

• staying a minimum of 6 feet from clients unless helping to direct a pose.

*Please note that a retainer and a signed contract is required to be officially booked.

When? If you're needing photos by a certain date, you should book your session at least 3-5 weeks in advance. This gives us ample time to plan the session. PLUS, I do not like to rush with photo editing. I want your photos to look A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Booking far in advance lets me complete your photos within a decent amount a time without rushing.

You can view my pricing and session details here.

Your retainer must be paid through my booking site. Your remaining balance is due the day before your session. You will receive an automated payment reminder email the day before your session. If you would like to pay the remaining balance in cash, it is due before shooting begins. I do not accept Cash App, Venmo, or Zelle.

Yes!

The first step in booking with me is a consultation. While texting and emailing is great, many times, information can be misinterpreted through those means of communication so in order for me to meet your expectations, a consultation is mandatory.

A Pre-Shoot Consultation is when we will discuss details relating to your shoot (your ideas, locations, wardrobe choices, shooting date & time, how to prep for your session, etc.)

Previous clients really appreciate this step because it helps prepare them for their session and it allows them to connect with me before their shoot.

For the consultation, you can show location ideas, photo inspiration, potential outfits, potential props, questions and concerns, & more!

​After booking, we will discuss a date and time for your consultation.

As soon as you book your session, we will schedule a consultation where we will discuss everything in relation to your session, including preparation tips.

Currently, I do not travel for sessions. All sessions must be taken in the Valdosta, GA area.

The best way to contact me is through email: dnewsomephotography[at]gmail.com. Please do not use Facebook messenger or Instagram DMs as a way to contact me. I do not always receive your messages. To contact me, click here.

I prefer to shoot outdoor sessions in the evening because it gives a warm, golden look to images, which is what I prefer. When the sun is shining bright, shadows tend to be present on the face, which is not a desired look in my style of photography. It will be worth the wait to schedule later in the day. Your photos will look amazing during that time. I guarantee it!

For individual sessions, clients are allowed to bring ONE person to help assist them.

For sessions with minors (17 and younger), only parents/guardians can accompany the child in the studio.

For group sessions, no additional people are allowed in the studio.

I am very patient with kids and respect their boundaries and wishes, I can not force them to pose or act accordingly.

I don’t have a lot of kid-friendly props. I always recommend selecting the Custom Setup/Theme add-on if you would like for me to provide everything.

Selfies and cellphone videos are permitted during your session, however, if it interferes or causes too many distractions, I will ask that you put your cellphone away. If any behind the scenes pictures or videos are taken, please to tag my business pages in your posts. No professional DSLRs are allowed at the session, unless compensated by the photographer.

Studio location will be disclosed 1-2 days prior to your session.

When Is My Remaining Balance Due?

The remaining balance is due the day before your session. An automated payment reminder will be emailed the day before your session.

How to Pay Your Remaining Balance:

There are several ways to pay your remaining balance: 1. Go to your confirmation email and click "change/cancel appointment."

2. 1-3 days before your session, you will receive a reminder email and a payment email. Follow the instructions in the email to pay your remaining balance.

How to Check Your Remaining Balance:

Go to your confirmation email and click "changel/cancel appointment."

If you need your photos back in less than a week, the Rush Fee of $150 must be added on when booking.

About 72 hours after your session, watermarked proofs will be emailed to you in a private online gallery. About 1-3 weeks after selecting your favorites, the final images will be delivered via email.

DNP does not release any original/unedited/RAW files. This is non-negotiable.

Our imaginations take us to places and allows us to do things we can only dream about. With DNP you can make some of those fantasies come true! If you can conceive it, we can achieve it! Let me bring your vision to life. Want to pose next to an elephant or be carried by balloons? I got you! Let's create some photo magic! Creative edits are specific edits requested by clients that are not already included in my editing process. This includes: changing your background/scenery, adding or taking away elements in the photo, changing the colors of items in your photos. An additional fee required. Please contact me for a quote.

****NOTE: You cannot add Creative edits after your session is complete. You must ask for and discuss this with me during your consultation.

To see examples of Creative edits, click here.

If you don't want images from your session posted on social media, you must select the 'Withold Fee' add-on when booking. This fee can not be added on after your session has been booked. All photos taken are copyrighted and owned by DNP. DNP uses photos as promotional and marketing material, which is why a Withold Fee is required.

I do not photograph weddings or events.

I do not offer newborn sessions. I only photograph babies once they are able to sit on their own, which is usually around the age of 6 months.

Although I do not advertise it yet, I do offer boudoir sessions.

Mini sessions are offered select times throughout the year and are very limited.
