FAQs

Some of the little things you might like to know about working with me…

How far out should I book my session?

Availability varies based upon the time of year, your schedule, and the type of session(s) you are booking. It is always best to book as far out as you can and are comfortable with to ensure you get the dates and times that work best for you. It is not uncommon for me to be scheduling 6-8 weeks (or more!) in advance.

Do you accept bookings for weddings?

The primary focus of my business is family and individual portraits. However, I LOVE weddings and do accept a small number of wedding engagements each year.

All-day coverage starts at $2,500. Your final package can be customized to include a number of high-quality, personally-tailored print and album products.

Your wedding is one of the most important days in your life and it cannot be replicated, so it’s important that we’re a good match.  Let’s begin with a phone-call to get to know one another.

Please use the Contact form to get in touch or email michelle@mbymphotos.com – I look forward to hearing about your wedding plans!

Will you travel?

Yes! Yes! Yes! I love to travel and am available for sessions throughout the U.S. and beyond.  For portrait sessions outside of Northern California, please get in touch for pricing and availability.

Do you sell digital images?

The focus of my business is producing beautiful prints and artwork for my clients to decorate their homes and share as gifts with friends and family. I know from my own experience that digital images – no matter how good your intentions –  tend to sit, forgotten, in a drawer or in a file on your computer and are rarely enjoyed in the same way as a quality print or canvas. However, to ensure the long-term availability of your images should anything happen to your prints in the future, digital images are available for your personal archive on an a la carte basis or as part of my portrait collections.  Please contact me directly for a complete price list.
