PORTRAIT INVESTMENT GUIDE
WHY SAMANTHA BORGES PHOTO?
i make things easy
If you have a certain idea in mind for your session, great! I go with the flow to get your best images. If not, I have set locations you can choose from, with wardrobe inspiration boards based by season to help you.
From there, all contracts + payments are all done online. Once we set a date, your only job is to smile and have fun!
i take my time
I take my time, but I don’t waste yours. I purposely set aside time before and after your session so that you never feel rushed or uncomfortable.
i don't limit your photos
I include all the best beautifully edited high resolution digital images with printing rights with any and every session. All edited photos will be delivered to you through an online gallery in your email, and will be available for up to one year!
i don’t only pose, i guide
I always approach my sessions based on the individuals instead of with a list of rigid shot lists. This approach allows me to capture raw emotion and create a space where you don’t feel the need to perform.

WHAT'S NEXT?
FAQ
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
First of all, you're going to do great! Most of my clients are nervous before their session and having fun by the end of it. I'll guide you through everything — all you have to do is show up and be yourself. If you have any questions leading up to your session, my inbox is always open.
What are your deposit and payment options?
A $50 deposit is due at booking to lock in your date, with the remaining balance due by the day of your session. I accept credit card, Venmo, and PayPal through an online invoice, or cash and check in person.
Can you recommend any good locations?
Absolutely! Some clients come in knowing exactly where they want to shoot, and others have no idea — either way, I've got you. I actually put together a whole blog post with some of my favorite local spots to help get the ideas flowing. Check it out [here]!
What if the weather is bad on the day of an outdoor shoot?
Don't stress — it happens! If the weather isn't cooperating, we'll figure it out together. That might mean rescheduling, finding an indoor alternative, or embracing the clouds for a moody vibe. I'm flexible and I'll always make sure we get the best outcome for your photos.
