Frequently Asked Questions
How do i book a shoot?
Head to the contact page, fill in the form and I will be in touch within 48hours.
Alternatively you can always send me a direct email with your enquiry to hello@maddisonwayphotography.co.nz. I look forward to hearing from you!
When should i book?
Ideally 3 months prior for family or extended family shoots to ensure I can fit you in. The earlier the better especially if you need a weekend date.
If you are pregnant, I would recommend booking your maternity session once you enter your second trimester and choosing dates that sit around 32-36 weeks. Most women are more comfortable before they reach full term and this gives us the chance to reschedule if we need to due to weather. You can however shoot these earlier if you like.
If you are looking to book in your Newborn shoot, I recommend shooting when baby is around 2 weeks old. If you get in touch during your second trimester we can make a rough plan for when baby arrives and that way it's easier to reschedule if things change.
What happens next?
Once we decide on a date, I will send you a contract and an invoice for a 50% non-refundable deposit. This deposit holds the date for your session. You have 48 hours to make payment. Only once you have signed the contract and paid the deposit is your booking secure. I will send you styling advice and a list of locations to choose from if we are shooting outdoors. From there, I will be in touch the week prior as a reminder and with a location meeting point. Then we make magic!
WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION OR RESCHEDULING POLICY?
If i think the weather is going to interfere with our session, I will be in touch by midday on the day of our shoot to offer a reschedule date which will not incur any additional fees.
If the on the day the client does not show up to the shoot and I have had no communication prior to the shoot letting me know, there will be no reschedule and no refund.
