Question 1

How do I book a session?

Accepted Answer

Simply fill out the contact form on this site or email me directly at homegrownphotographybyvictoria@gmail.com. I'll reach out to chat, get to know your vision, and confirm availability.

Question 2

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

The earlier the better, especially for weddings. For regular sessions, booking 2-4 weeks in advance is ideal. Wedding inquiries are welcomed 12-18 months ahead. That said, don't hesitate to reach out if your timeline is shorter. Last-minute sessions can sometimes be accommodated.

Question 3

Do you require a deposit to book a session or wedding?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A $50 deposit secures a regular half-hour or one-hour session, and a $200 non-refundable deposit is required to secure a wedding date.

Question 4

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Accepted Answer

Life happens. If you need to reschedule, your session deposit will carry over to the new date. I allow one reschedule with notice, and we’ll work together to find a new time that fits.

Question 5

When will I receive my photos?

Accepted Answer

For regular sessions, you'll receive your gallery within 7-14 days. For weddings, you'll get sneak peeks within 72 hours, and your full gallery within 6-12 weeks.

Question 6

What should I wear, and can you help me choose outfits?

Accepted Answer

Wear something that makes you feel like yourself. Comfortable, confident, and something you genuinely love. Earthy tones, soft neutrals, and textures photograph beautifully outdoors. Try to avoid busy patterns or logos. Once you’re booked, you can send me some outfits ideas, I love helping out!

Question 7

What’s the difference between a mini session and a full session?

Accepted Answer

Minis are short, sweet, and usually themed. Full sessions are more relaxed, with time for storytelling and capturing you just being you.

Question 8

What if the weather isn’t great?

Accepted Answer

If the weather isn’t on our side, we’ll reschedule or pivot. Overcast skies can actually be beautiful for photos, but if conditions are unsafe or not ideal, I’ll be in touch and we’ll figure out the best plan.

Question 9

Do you offer payment plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Just ask and we can figure out something that works best for you.

Question 10

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

I accept e-transfer, credit card, and cash.

Question 11

How would you describe your editing style?

Accepted Answer

Moody, warm, and natural.

Question 12

Do you travel outside of Timmins?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I regularly work in surrounding communities like Sudbury, Cochrane, Kapuskasing, Hearst, and more. Travel fees may apply depending on location. For destination or out-of-region weddings, reach out and we can chat about it.
