frequently asked questions

I am based in San Diego, CA. For shoots on-location, we can discuss sites farther than one hour away. Additional travel needed to the site may require an additional service fee, and travel costs may need coverage for out-of-state locations.

Unless it is at night, in a very dark location, or adds to the overall stylistic choices of the shoot, I avoid using flash.

I prefer working with natural light because I love the realness that it gives my images, especially during outdoor location shoots.

For studio shoots, I have enough studio lighting equipment to not require an additional flash, which is easier on the eyes!

Send me an email at anneburkemedia@gmail.com, DM me at @annexburke, or fill out the form on my bookings page!

We’ll set up a Zoom call to go over details and get to know each other. Once we’ve decided on a shoot style and a date, I’ll send you an electronic contract to fill out and sign to reserve me. Then you just put down the deposit upfront and we’re all set! The rest of the payment is due on the day of the shoot.

If you need to change your shoot date, I will reschedule with you and your deposit will move to the new date!

If you need to cancel your shoot, please do so at your earliest notice. Cancellations within 48 hours before the shoot date will only receive 50% of their deposit back.

For outdoor shoots: If the weather does not agree with us, we will reschedule the shoot at no additional cost.

In the unlikely event I, the photographer, am unable to make the shoot date, I will make every effort to find a new date that works for you.

The number of final images delivered depends on the type of shoot booked.

The minimum number you can expect to receive will be 10-15 retouched images for an individual portrait shoot.

Architectural, lifestyle, branding, and product shoots are completely dependent on the length of the overall shot list. Final retouched images will range from 25+ to 100+ images.

I don’t share RAW images from our shoots. If this is something you’re interested in, we can discuss usage and an additional fee.

You’ll get an online gallery where you can directly download your final high-resolution images. For any images you would like to purchase a print of for an additional fee, please contact me directly.

Go for it! I love it when people share photos from our shoot. If you post, make sure to give me photo credit and tag me! Please don’t apply any additional filters to alter or change them in any way – this helps to maintain the integrity of my work.

*Licensing fees may be required for certain usage of final images from branding and product shoots.

Just as you’re excited to see the, I’m excited to share them with you! Within 48 hours of the shoot, I like to send 3-5 preview images, so if you want to post on social media, you have images to use.

You can expect the full collection of final images after 10–15 business days. I'll ask you to take a look at the editing and make sure everything looks good. If any photos require a second round of edits after your initial feedback, you can expect them back within 5 business days.
