FAQ
Why should I use Olivia Lynn Photography?
I have years of experience, lots of patience, a very calm energy, and am able to capture the spirit and personality of your pets and how they interact with you in a way that no one else can. When you book a session with me, you can be sure you’re getting high quality, creative and fun images from a true professional.
How far will you travel for sessions?
I’m based in the Cameron Village area of Raleigh and will travel up to 30 miles round trip at no extra charge. If you’re more than 30 miles away, please ask for a quote for travel to your area before you book.
I have never done this before, how does it work?
All you have to do is fill out a contact form or give me a call at 919.371.8387. I’m very easy-going, and sessions are really fun, so there’s nothing to be nervous about, promise :)
Do you only photograph pets and their families?
Nope! I shoot everything from pets to newborns to weddings! However pets are my specialty.
Do you photograph pets other than dogs?
I sure do. The majority of my clients are dogs and their families, but I also photograph other four legged friends such as cats and horses. I've even been known to photograph snakes, lizards and birds!
My dog/cat is hyper/shy/crazy/nervous/out of her mind/bananas will this be an issue?
I want to let your pet’s personality to shine through in these photos. Hyperactive Chihuahua? I want to get an action photo of him mid-air! Painfully shy kitty? I want to catch her peering out from behind the couch! So as long as your pet is being themselves, then I am ready to translate that in a photograph.
My dog needs to be on the leash, is that okay?
Of course! Safety is very important to me so how ever you feel comfortable is how we will shoot. Leashes can always be removed from most images in post-processing.
I don't have much time left with my pet, can you help?
Definitely! We can book you in for a special "Soul Session." This is a discounted session scheduled ASAP specially designed for when you have to say farewell to your beloved pet due to age or illness.
Where does the session take place?
Sessions can take place anywhere! In your home, at a local park or field. Anywhere you and/or your pets feel comfortable and can be yourselves!
What should I wear!?
You should wear whatever you are comfortable wearing! Layers always look great in photos along with accessories such as hats or bags. If you are going to be in a grassy area with a lot of trees try going for blue or red tones, maybe with some yellow. If you are going to be in the city go for green or purple (depending on where we are going!). If we are doing a session with you and your whole family try to coordinate a little, pick two colors and try to wear mostly those with jeans of khakis. Dresses always look great too! (: As long as you are comfortable in what you are wearing everything will be okay!
Do you offer gift certificates?
I sure do! I offer beautiful custom designed gift certificates which can be printed out and presented to your loved one. Gift certificates can be purchased for any amount of $50 or more.
Do you sell digital image files?
I realize that you might like to have the high resolution digital images of your family or pet safely stored on your own system, so I offer a number of options when it comes to purchasing packages of files. If you definitely want to go down this path, consider upgrading to a digital package when booking.
What if the weather is bad on the day?
The quality and style of my images relies on great natural sunlight. If the weather is not agreeable (not enough sunlight due to rain, heavy cloud, threat of storms or general unstable weather), then we will probably need to reschedule the session to another day. We also might need to reschedule if it is very windy or excessively hot, to preserve the comfort and safety of both us and our four legged friends! When you book, we will discuss backup days so that there will always be a 'Plan B'. Please be patient with the rescheduling process, as the better the weather is, the more beautiful your images will be.
Okay, I cant wait anymore, I want cute pictures of my pooch!
