Planning a session somewhere else? I’d love to come to you.

How do I book a session?

Booking is easy! Click the Contact tab in the menu and fill out the inquiry form. You can also send and email to  captured@twocardinalsphotography.com or call/text (845) 325-4760. Tell me a little about the session you're envisioning, and I'll take care of the rest.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes, a non-refundable retainer is required to secure your session date. The remaining balance is due before or on the day of your session unless otherwise arranged.

Are you insured?

Yes, fully insured, providing both my clients and venue partners with added peace of mind during every session and event.

What are your Signature Packages?

My signature packages are thoughtfully designed collections created to capture the moments that matter most — from personal portraits and professional headshots to families, milestones, celebrations, and the special bond you share with your pets. Whether you're looking for a full session experience or a shorter option, there’s a package designed to fit your vision.

Can I customize a package?

If you have a unique vision or don't see a package that fits your needs, I'd love to create a custom experience designed just for you.

How far in advance should I book?

I recommend booking as early as possible, especially for weekends, seasonal sessions, and milestone dates. While I may have availability for last-minute inquiries, reserving your date in advance gives you the best chance of securing your preferred time.

What should I wear?

The best outfit is one that makes you feel confident and like yourself. Neutral tones, textures, and timeless pieces photograph beautifully, but your personality always comes first. Whether your style is classic, colorful, bold, or completely unique, I want your photos to reflect who you are. If you'd like guidance we can talk fashion and styling tips to help you choose outfits that feel authentic and camera-ready.

How long does a session last?

Session length varies depending on the experience you choose. Mini sessions are 35 minutes, while signature portrait sessions are typically 1 hour. Events, pet sessions, and custom requests are tailored to fit your vision and needs.

Can you recommend photography locations?

I can help you find the perfect location, whether you’re looking for scenic parks, urban settings, waterfront views, or something more personal to you.

What happens if the weather doesn't cooperate?

Weather happens! I’ll keep an eye on the forecast and we’ll stay in touch if Mother Nature has other plans. If needed, we’ll find another available date at no additional charge whenever possible.

When will I receive my photos?

Most portrait galleries are delivered within 2–3 weeks. Larger events may require additional editing time.

How will I receive my photos?

Once your images are ready, I’ll send you a private, password-protected online gallery to view and download your photos. From there, you can easily share your favorites and order professional-quality prints.

How many photos will I receive?

The number of edited images depends on the package you choose. I carefully curate each gallery to include the best moments from your session, so you receive a collection of images you’ll truly love.

Do you edit all of the photos?

I personally edit every final image in your gallery, enhancing color, lighting, and details while keeping your photos looking natural and authentic. Additional retouching options are available if needed.

Can I print my own photos?

Your final gallery includes high-resolution digital images and a personal print release, giving you the freedom to print your photos wherever you’d like.

Will my photos be shared online?

I love celebrating my clients by sharing favorite images on my website and social media. Your privacy always comes first, and if you’d prefer to keep your images private, simply let me know before your session.

Do you travel?

I’m happy to travel for select sessions and events. Travel outside my standard service area may require an additional fee.

What is your cancellation and rescheduling policy?

Life happens! If you need to reschedule, please reach out as soon as possible and I’ll do my best to accommodate you based on availability. To ensure each client receives the time and attention they deserve, one reschedule is permitted; additional rescheduling requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Full cancellation and rescheduling details will be outlined in your booking agreement.
