  • It’s never to early to call us! We may be able to secure your session date as little as 1-2 weeks in advance, but during busier seasons we book out 4-6 weeks. We recommend calling as soon as you know you want to schedule. Signature sessions must be booked at least ten days ahead to accommodate your consultation and preparation time.

  • You can pay installments in advance if you want to pace things out interest-free. Let’s discuss what products you want and make a plan that suits you. We do accept all credit cards which you can pay at your pace afterward. Session reservation fees are due upon booking, and product payments are due in full when placing your order.

  • Yes, we do! We aim to offer a complete array of services, so you don’t have to worry about the little things. Hair and makeup styling can be added to any session. Call us to discuss what you’re looking for, and we’ll point you in the right direction.

  • Probably not! As long as we can all fit in the space, you’re welcome to bring in the whole family for your session at no extra charge. If you’d like to add hair & makeup styling for your added people, there will be an added fee.

  • We ask that you do everything possible to keep your appointment since we are often booked weeks in advance. Of course, we understand that things happen, and sometimes a reschedule is the only option. We will work with you to find a solution. Cancellations are not refundable.

  • Yes, we are available for Saturday sessions once per month. Saturday photoshoots have the same reservation fee as weekday sessions, but they do not include credit toward your product purchase.

  • Yes, we do! The studio is great for our signature look, and it offers dependable weather conditions plus access to all of our photography tools. But, if your project needs the special touch of a particular location, then we’ll be glad to travel for your shoot. On-location sessions require a $2550 minimum purchase.

  • Of course! Every photo you order to be printed comes with a matching digital version so you can share your photos with friends and family. If you simply don’t want any prints, that’s fine too. Digital-only photos are priced the same as our tabletop prints and collections.

  • After your photo session is complete, your digital copies will be delivered within 1-2 weeks. Printed products can take 2-16 weeks, depending on what you order.

  • Your purchase includes a license that provides you with unlimited rights to use the digital photos you selected for your own business or personal purposes. You will also have the option to provide – or withhold – permission for us to show your photos to other people in our portfolio and marketing. That means we won’t use your photos in our materials if you ask us not to. However, the copyright of the images will always remain with Lara Grauer Photography, which means you will not be permitted to sell the photos to others, claim credit or ownership, or grant permission for their use in any projects other than the ones named in your license. Give us a call with any questions – we’ll be happy to discuss it!

  • Yes, we do! We like to sleep at night, so we have all the recommended insurance coverage for photography studios, and then some more!

  • If you’re booking a custom portrait session, we’ll cover clothing choices in detail during your consultation. If you’re doing a headshot mini or team photos for your company, we have some basic suggestions that work well. First, solid colors are a great choice for portraits. Textures are fun and photograph well. You will look slimmer if you wear form-fitting clothes, so I always recommend avoiding flowy fabric or bulky pieces when that is your concern. But really, above all, you should wear something you feel good in. If you’re feeling comfortable and confident, you’re going to look your best – so go ahead and break the “rules!”

  • It depends! What kind of shoot are you doing? Our headshot mini-sessions last about an hour, our custom sessions last 1-3 hours, and our team headshots go quickly – typically somewhere between 5-20 minutes per person.

  • It’s our job to make sure you look great in your photos, and we take that assignment seriously! We will put all of our tools to work to make sure you look your best in your portraits. We offer a satisfaction guarantee, so if you put your trust in us, we promise to give you photos you can feel proud of. If we’ve tried and tried again, and after all of that effort, you’re still not happy with your photos, we will give you a full refund.

  • Yes! Our goal is to make you look like the best version of you. Overall editing and retouching comes standard with every photo. For wall print orders, I provide master art retouching that ensures every square inch of your artwork will be flawless. No matter what, the editing isn’t done until you’re happy. Print orders are only processed after you’ve given final approval on the retouching.
