FAQ

 

How do I book?

Fill out the contact form or email me at michelleliphoto@gmail.com. I will try to get back to you within 48-72 hours. A 50% non-refundable retainer is required to reserve a booking.

Can I create a customized package?

Yes, of course! Just email me with your specific needs. I am happy to photograph portraits, events, weddings, and more outside of the listed packages.

When is the best time for photos?

The best natural light for photos is usually around sunset, which is often called golden hour, when everything looks soft, warm, and glowy. The exact timing changes throughout the year, but here’s a simple guide:

  • Winter (Nov–Feb): 4–6 PM
  • Spring (Mar–May): 6–8 PM
  • Summer (Jun–Aug): 7–9 PM
  • Fall (Sep–Oct): 5:30–7 PM

If it’s cloudy or overcast, the lighting is naturally softer, so sessions can work well at almost any time of day. Don’t worry too much about picking the “perfect” time. I’ll help recommend the best start time based on the season, weather, and location for your session.

Do you offer photoshoots outside of the Bay Area and Seattle?

Yes! I’m available for sessions outside of the Bay Area. Travel fees may apply depending on the location. Feel free to email me for more details. I’d love to hear about your plans.
