Frequently Asked Questions

The session fee pays for the time and talent of the photographer. It does not include any prints or products. Approximately 2 weeks after your session, you will come in for your ordering session and we will help you select what you would like to purchase.

Storybook Studios believes in custom wall art and home decor. You will keep these heirloom portraits for your lifetime and for generations to come. We offer A La Carte prints that start at $85 (prints up to 8x10) and print collections that start at $400. Most people spend between $400-$2000. We try to offer products for every budget. We also work with you on a payment plan, if need be.

We offer no interest payment plans on our collections. Typically, half the amount of your order is paid upfront and the remainder can be split up into 2-4 payments. After the balance is paid in full, we will order your products and let you know when everything is ready for you to pick up. 

While we do offer digital images, we believe in creating true art pieces that won't be forgotten in a desk drawer and lost forever. We care about your portraits being around for generations. That being said, we do offer digital files in our digital packages, ranging from $500-1599.

Professional photographers will not hand over the digitals at a low price point. We are dedicated artisans who entrust our professional photography labs to print heirloom-quality, color-corrected and UV protected prints and products, that will last a lifetime. We are not selling a DIY experience. We are a full service photography studio and care about the entire process. We take the time to ensure their images look as perfect as humanly possible, from the time of shooting to delivering a finished product. We take every step of the process seriously.

If a photographer sells digital images, this is where the process stops. Sure, they created and edited images and turned them over to you, the consumer. The final product is no longer tightly managed. Chances are, you don’t have access to a professional lab. Chances are even greater that your monitor isn’t calibrated, so when you view the images your photographer sent you…you’re already at a disadvantage. It's a triple whammy if the lab you choose hasn’t calibrated or changed chemicals in awhile…you can end up with cheap paper prints that are discolored and will not even last 5 years. All of that for a set of professional images not worth displaying.

This, unfortunately, is the difference between beautiful images painstakingly custom-created for you by your professional photographer and lackluster images, printed up by the local drugstore. The photography may be phenomenal but if your lab processing is off, the image may as well be taken by an iPhone camera!
The full service photographer is an artisan. They want to retain the image to present you with the absolute best quality product possible. The image they create for you is part of their vision and this vision is only fully realized when you take delivery of your beautifully printed photographs.

Portrait sessions may be rescheduled with 24 hour notice. Your session fee may be forfeited, if no advance notice is given.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, cash and checks. We also offer no interest payment plans on our collections. There are NO refunds after you place your order.  

Approximately 2-4 weeks later, you will come back for your Premiere Ordering appointment, where you will view view approximately 20-40 beautifully retouched portraits and decide on your wall art, specialty products and prints.

Depending on what you order, orders typically take approximately 2-5 weeks.

Usually, the totally fabricated backgrounds are done when and if Casey gets the inspiration to do so for a certain image. It is not typically something that is done to all images or by request. We work with you to find locations and backgrounds that suit your style.

Unpurchased images are purged from our servers after your viewing session.

Sessions fees are credited towards a future session, within one year of deposit.
