I believe in quality over quantity
You will select the images I edit as I spend hours on each of your images, ensuring your photos are edited to the highest perfection. Unedited Raw/Original Images are NOT included. All my pricing packages, frequently asked questions and online booking are below. I recommend booking 3 - 3.5 weeks before your desired post date. Once photos have been taken, proofs will be emailed within three business days. Once favorites have been chosen, edits will be emailed within 3 weeks of the confirmed favorites selection. Please notify the photographer of any deadlines before the shoot. If you need your images earlier, you can request them at an additional fee. See add-ons below.
A 50% nonrefundable session retainer is required to book and hold your session's desired date and time
This retainer protects from no-shows and last-minute cancellations. The retainer is deducted from the session and can be credited towards 1 future session if it's rescheduled within 72 hours before your photoshoot. All remaining balances are due during the session, and you will receive images once paid in full.
YOUR DATE WILL NOT BE PUT ON THE CALENDAR UNTIL RETAINER HAS BEEN RECEIVED
Total session time includes any prep the client may need, such as prop staging, walking, driving, hair, makeup, and outfit changes. Late arrivals will result in shorter sessions. More time can be added for extra backdrops, multiple concepts, and locations, but it is not guaranteed the day of. Be sure to factor in additional time between your appointments to ensure no scheduling conflicts.
Please only bring persons that will encourage, hype, and make you feel comfortable at the shoot
Kids under 8 are not allowed at photoshoots or on the premises. The focus must be entirely on you, with no distractions. We want to create a fun atmosphere so that Niah can connect with you and capture the best possible photos. We will play your favorite music and have your mood board ready. Niah will assist in directing and posing with you. Think of this photoshoot as a fun outing with your best friend. I can’t wait to meet you and capture these moments!
Sessions with multiple locations and areas outside Kansas City Limits must be addressed to the photographer before booking, as travel expenses and/or additional time may be required. The photographer does travel to other states.

SESSION RULES & LATE POLICY
-Please be on time and arrive no more than 15 minutes early
The session will start at your scheduled time. If you are late, it will still end at your scheduled time.
-If you are 30 minutes late, and no effort has been made to contact the photographer, your session will be automatically canceled. Your retainer will act as your cancelation fee, and a new retainer will be required to book in the future.
-If the session exceeds your scheduled time, you will be charged for each 1/2 hour. ($50)
-Children are not allowed in the studio unless they are part of the shoot or approved by the photographer ahead of time, and they must be accompanied at all times.
-No glitter or confetti cannons (photographer can photoshop in photo)
-No smoking or fire of any kind in the studio
-No colored turmeric powder for sessions in the studio
-No other forms of photography or videography during the session without the photographer's express written permission.
RESCHEDULING & WEATHER
Should you need to reschedule, 72 hours' notice is required. One event of rescheduling is allowed, but please give as much notice as possible. Please do not reschedule for minor skin injuries or blemishes. If the weather is torrential and we cannot shoot, the session will be rescheduled or shot in a studio. Clouds, light wind, and light sprinkles aren't a problem, and I usually go ahead with the session.
Do i need to book the studio?
No, there will be no additional cost as long as it's one of Niah's Studios. Once the studio is booked, the date and time are secured.
IMAGE PROCESSING, RETOUCHING, AND EDITS
You will select the images I edit based on your selected package. Any additional edits must be purchased before the photographer will start editing. The photographer will only deliver the high-resolution, retouched, edited, and JPEG images to the client and will not send unedited original "RAW" files under any circumstance unless purchased separately. The photographer spends 2-3+ hours on each image, ensuring selected favorites are edited to the highest perfection. Photographer professionally edits and retouches face, body, background, contrast, lighting, color, distracting objects, and cropping.
*Composite/Collage edits are not included in pricing
-I highly recommend hiring a professional to do your hair and makeup to ensure the highest quality photos. Please be sure to try on your clothing before the shoot to make sure it fits correctly. Please refrain from relying on the photographer (photoshop editing) to correct your hair, makeup, and clothing. The lack of quality within your prep can not guarantee high-quality results within the retouching process. Please ask for my preferred list if you need a good stylist, makeup artist, or hair artist.
-PLEASE NOTE
Additional retouching fees will be required for poor wig installs. Your lace must be good quality and blended correctly, or you will be charged extra or left as is. (Up to $12/Image depending on severity) Unfortunately, it's not easy to fix in Photoshop, which adds multiple hours of editing to correct it.
What is a composite/collage image?
In photography, a composite image is a new image created by combining multiple photographs using photo editing software. The result is a single image that appears to be whole, even though it's made up of numerous photos.
Example: multiple images of the same person in one photograph. Editing person into different scenes/landscapes/adding additional things to the background.
Please get in touch with us for an estimate. The price is determined by the complexity of the concept, extra editing hours, stock images, etc.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
Once photos have been taken, proofs will be emailed within 3 business days of the session. Once favorites have been chosen, finished edits will be emailed within 3 weeks of the favorites selection date. Raw/Original Images are not included, but the entire unedited gallery can be purchased separately. Your gallery will remain online for (4) weeks. If your gallery expires before you download it, you may request a gallery reload at a rate of $25.
WHAT IF I NEED MY PICTURES SOONER?
Deadlines must be approved by the photographer and made before booking, if possible. The photographer will try to meet the deadline requests, but additional fees may be required. The photographer shall not be held responsible if the client fails to provide favorite selections on time. The photographer will start on any rushed edits once full payment is received.
