FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Can I book a mini session to take engagement/maternity/anniversary photos?
A: Yes.
Q: What if it rains?
A: If it pours rain, sessions will be moved indoors, in my studio located in Benicia, CA or postponed (all depends on availability). Rosa will make final decision.
Q: What about smokey outdoor conditions due to fires?
A: If it’s extremely smokey, sessions will be moved indoors, in my studio located in Benicia, CA. Anything below air quality Level 4 (low 4 and below) will continue to be held in its original outdoor location.
Q: How long will it take to receive my digital photos?
A: About 5-7 days after your session you'll receive an online gallery with about 35+ edited images to choose your final 20 photos from. Once your select your final images they'll be emailed within 24hours after finalizing your selection. Easy peasy!
Q: Can I purchase all edited photos from my mini session (beyond the 20)?
A: Absolutely! For an extra fee, you can purchase all your beautiful images.
Q: What if none of these dates/locations work for me?
A: It's best to schedule a private session. Private sessions are 1 hour long, include 40+ digital images, your location/time of choice and an online download of your images. Email Rosa at hello@rosadelgado.com for details.
Q: How should I prep for my mini session?
A: If you have little one’s, make sure they are well fed BEFORE your scheduled time. There’s nothing more difficult than a hungry and crying baby. Feel free to bring a snack or candy to keep the little one’s happy.
Q: What should I wear during my session?
A:
First and foremost, wear what makes you feel comfortable and good (including your child).
Avoid being matchy matchy.
Color coordinate your outfits by picking 2-3 colors to work with.
Wear solid colors that compliment each other or choose different shades of that color.
Wear solid, neutral or earth tone colors. These colors work best in photos: white, black, ivory, blue (soft or jean-color), soft or deep brown, mustard yellow, deep green and gray.
Avoid neon/bright colors.
Layer some outfits to give it contrast.
Patterns work, but keep them to a minimum or layer them with a jacket/vest/sweater.
These are professional photos. Please avoid wearing anything with logos or graphics.
Wear comfortable to walk in as we’ll be moving around plenty.
Q: Can we include our dog?
A: Depends on the location. Some locations, like Los Altos, do not allow dogs at all. If dogs are not allowed at a location, you’ll see a “No Dogs Allowed” note. If you’re unsure, email Rosa at hello@rosadelgado.com
Q: What’s the max number of people allowed per mini session time slot?
A: There isn’t a max limit per se. However, keep in mind these are quick and short sessions. Meaning, if you’re planning on have 6+ people total, we may not have time to get candids, fun shots or every single grouping possible. If your group consists of more than 6 people, I strongly suggest booking two mini sessions time slots OR a 1-hour regular session.
Any other questions before booking? Please email Rosa. Otherwise, hope to meet you in one of these mini sessions.
