Frequently asked questions!
-
I aim to have all photos back within a month of the session! I do my best to have them done significantly before then, it just depends on the season. I put a lot of love and care into every individual photo—please be patient with me as I do my best to finish them as fast as I can!
-
All of your photos will be included in an online gallery delivered in a link to your text or email — whichever you’ve indicated you prefer! All photos can be downloaded individually or altogether as a zip file you can download on your computer.
-
I take cash, check, or Venmo! Checks can be made out to Erika Lerfald Photography, or you can Venmo me @erikalerfaldphotography

The best way to get in contact with me is to fill out an inquiry form on the “Inquire” tab on my website. I respond to these within 48 hours.

Definitely! Different outfits are a great way to get the most out of your session! I charge $25 for every additional outfit.

I always say to wear whatever makes you feel most comfortable and confidently yourself in front of the camera! That being said, neutral and solid earth tones work best for my editing style. I’m a big fan of white, navy, dark green, and maroon. Jeans or dresses are also always safe bets! I’m always happy to talk outfit ideas to figure out what works best for you as well.

Absolutely! I LOVE to travel and see new places. For locations >25 miles from Morgantown, I charge a travel fee to account for gas and time spent driving which is calculated by $0.67/mile as suggested by the IRS. I’ll travel anywhere as long as you can get me there!
-
My editing is super individualized to every single photo, but I use a handful of presets I’m really proud to say I’ve developed myself! I also do minor skin touchups and remove background distractions to the best of my ability. I try to enhance the natural light, colors, and energy of the session through my editing. I also include black and white versions of every photo!
-
Nope! Once I deliver the online gallery to you, those photos are all yours to print and share as you wish! I can print them for you and have them delivered to you for the cost of the prints themselves.
-
Please don’t! When you sign the contract to work with me, you agree not to alter the pictures in any way. The edits are a large representation of my work, and I dedicate many hours to personally edit each photo from every session. The service I provide as a photographer is both taking the photos and editing them.

Yes!! Please do!! I love dogs, and my professional opinion is that they make every photo better.
