frequently asked q's
Where are you based?
I live in Coggon, Iowa and service all of Eastern Iowa. I do travel beyond but travel fees may apply.
Do you have a studio?
I have access to studio space for indoor sessions but I don't have my own space at the moment.
​
What type of sessions do you photograph?
I enjoy photographing all session types but as a mama of young children, documenting every season of motherhood has my heart. I secretly love the chaos of crazy kiddos and capturing moments that mama thinks her kids were too wild for. Remember, you can't hear photos :) Second to that, I love couples and seniors!!
​
What’s your style?
I consider my work a balanced blend of posed and lifestyle photography but I gravitate most towards capturing moments that make you feel something, even if that means not everyone is looking or completely in the frame.
​
When do you schedule sessions?
My preferred time to shoot outdoor sessions is 1 hour before sunset. This is when lighting is best. The sun is low, soft and luminous. Studio sessions are scheduled around my work and kid's schedules.
What locations do you use?
I suggest locations based on your completed questionnaire and the vibe you’re trying to achieve. Are you interested in studio, grassy field, lake view, city or woods? Perhaps somewhere different like a apple orchard, greenhouse or tree farm. Once that’s decided, I will work on guiding us to the right spot!
​
Can I print my images myself?
Yes. All my sessions include edited/retouched images + print release via digital download. You’re encouraged to order professional prints for quality purposes.
​
I want to work with you! How do I book my session?
To inquire about dates and availability, please use the contact form below or email Brandy at bluecreekcreative@gmail.com.
​
What do I wear?
Upon booking, I will send you a style guide with my preferred brand colors and suggestions for attire. I do have some women's dresses and children's clothing available in my client closet. The client closet is still being built/added too. If you have a statement piece you've always wanted but can't justify the one time expense, let's talk about how you can help build my client closet in exchange for a discounted session!
​
What happens if the weather is bad?
Cloudy weather is not a problem. However, if it rains, snows, hails, is below 32 degrees, etc. I will contact you as soon as possible to postpone or reschedule.
I’m excited to see my photos! When will they be ready?
Eek... I’m excited to share them! Galleries are generally completed within 2-3 weeks but during busy season 3-4 weeks.
