FAQ's

We’ve included a whole list of frequently asked questions and answers to help before even choosing to book with Rebecca Pfeifer Photography. If there are any questions not included on this page, please don’t hesitate to reach out using the form at the bottom of the page, and I will be happy to answer them or jump on a phone call to discuss further. Thank you for your interest!

Do you have a studio?

Yes, my small home studio allows me to photograph individuals and meet with clients.

The studio is located in Greenbush, Wisconsin.  Meetings and photoshoots are by appointment only. 

What kind of gear do you use? Do you have backup gear?

I use professional quality Canon cameras and lenses (my favorites being the mirrorless Canon R6 and my 85mm and 100mm macro lenses). I also have various studio lighting and portable flash gear, and all of the little but important stuff like reflectors, filters, and light modifiers to help us get creative imagery!

Do you have & use lighting equipment?

I love working with natural light, but I also have studio and on-location lighting gear and know how to use it! I will be able to beautifully light any less-than-ideal setting we’re working in.

Are you willing to travel?

Yes! Complimentary photographer travel to locations within 25 miles of the studio in Greenbush, WI is included in photoshoot fees. For distances beyond these limits, please contact me for a details travel quote!

What is included in editing?

Editing is the process of adjusting color, brightness, contrast, saturation, etc.  All previews will have some basic editing done.  Retouching is the process of blemish removal, skin smoothing, glass glare removal, and making final adjustments so your image is perfect for print! Retouching is time intensive and only included with purchased images!

What if there is a product I'm interested in that you don't offer?

I have accounts with many professional photography labs and can order almost any product you’re interested.  Please send me a photo with description & dimensions and I will get you a custom product quote!

Is sales tax included?

I am required to charge WI state sales tax for every service and product I provide in the state of WI. Current sales tax rates will be applied to your final balance/invoice/total.

What types of payment do you accept?

I use square for payment of photoshoot fees (you will NOT need a square account to pay with a credit card). CC, check or cash are options for product orders. Payment plans can be set up to meet your needs!

How do I book my portrait photoshoot?

The best way to get the process started is to contact me via email.  A questionnaire and your photoshoot fee will be required to officially book your session in my calendar.

How far in advance should I book my session?

Spring – Fall are busy times at the studio! The sooner you book your session, the better selection of dates and time you’ll have to choose from. It never hurts to book early to give us plenty of time to prepare!

What if I'm feeling sick the day before the session?

Definitely let me know as soon as you start feeling sick if your session is coming up within a few days.  If you’re not feeling well, your pictures will show it. It’s much easier to reschedule now than suffer through a session and end up with results you aren’t happy with.

What if there is bad weather forecasted for the day of the session?

As a photographer I’m usually checking the weather every day, 3 times a day, and from 3 different sources! Weather conditions change all the time. Several things will determine if we will need to reschedule your outdoor session, and I’ll be in touch with you if it looks like the weather could cause us to reschedule. I keep several days open in my calendar every month for reschedules.

What if I'm not sure what location will work best for my session?

No problem. I can definitely help you there! First, we have the indoor / outdoor studio! Plus, I’ve shot in tons of beautiful locations around the area. I’m happy to discuss options with you during your pre-session consultation!

How many outfits should I bring?

It depends on the type of photoshoot, so this is something I will help you with!  Bringing additional options as backup is always encouraged.

Can I bring somebody along during my portrait session?

Yes!  Moms, Dads, and best friends are welcome!  Let’s talk about who will help you relax and get the best smiles : ) This person may be put to work carrying your outfits, makeup bag, jewelry, shoes, water, etc. And even help me with lighting equipment to get an epic shot! Please not that my studio space is small – so if you’re planning on more than 1 person along let’s chat in advance!

Can you retouch blemishes?

Yes. Professional retouching is included for the images you order. If you are at all worried about blemishes I highly recommend having professional makeup applied for your session! It will make a huge difference in your confidence, provide that extra pep in your step, and give you a beautiful glow & gleaming smile!

 

What info do you need for submitting my photo for the yearbook?

I need the due date, email address of adviser/editor, and any specific requirements your school has. I also need the image # you have selected.
