Weather conditions affects nature, therefore we cannot guarantee the location will look exactly as demonstrated in the example photos. We’re currently in a drought—locations may be drier than usual.

A: Yes.

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.
