Booking & Session Guide – What to Expect When You Book GK Photography

1. Booking Your Session

We’re thrilled you’re considering GK Photography! To secure your date, we ask for:

A signed contract

A retainer fee (this secures your session; it’s non-refundable but transferable if plans change)

Once your retainer is received, your date is officially reserved — hooray! 🎉

2. Payment Details

The remaining balance is due as outlined in your contract, usually before or on your session/wedding day.

We accept credit cards, PayPal, Square, and other approved methods.

3. Changing Your Plans

Life happens — we get it!

Need to reschedule? Let us know as soon as possible, and we’ll do our best to find a new date.

Cancellations: Retainers are non-refundable but can be applied to a future session if notice is given within the timeframe specified in your contract.

4. Your Photos

We love creating images you’ll treasure forever!

You’ll get a secure online gallery with your final images for download.

Galleries are available for a limited time, so we recommend backing up your favorites.

Our editing style is part of our signature — final images reflect our creative vision.

5. How You Can Use Your Photos

Your images are for personal use, such as prints, social media, and sharing with family and friends.

Want to use them commercially or edit them heavily? Let us know — we can arrange licensing or additional edits.

6. Privacy & Sharing

We love showing off our work! With your consent, we may feature your photos on our website, social media, or promotional materials.

Don’t want us to share your images? No problem — just tell us in writing, and we’ll keep them private.

GK Photography

Email: george@gkphotography.com

Location: New Orleans, Louisiana

Q: What kinds of events do you cover?

Trade shows, conferences, company parties, product launches, and corporate branding sessions.

Q: How can event photography help my business?

Professional images elevate your brand, boost social media presence, and give you marketing content that lasts long after the event.

Q: Do you offer hourly or day rates?

Yes—packages are flexible. From short corporate meetings to multi-day trade shows, I’ll tailor coverage to your needs.

Q: What should I wear for my headshot session?

Choose solid colors or subtle patterns that align with your professional brand. Avoid overly busy prints. Classic tones always photograph well.

Q: How do I prepare for my session?

Bring a few outfit options, make sure your clothes are pressed, and keep hair/makeup natural but polished. A quick touch-up kit (powder, lip balm, lint roller) is a smart idea.

Q: How long does a headshot session take?

Most sessions last 20–30 minutes, but team/group headshots can take longer depending on the number of people.

Q: What locations are best for graduate portraits in New Orleans?

The French Quarter, Jackson Square, City Park, and Audubon Park are client favorites. Each offers a unique mix of history, greenery, and iconic New Orleans style. You can also book sessions for a fee at certain venues.

Q: What should I bring to my session?

Cap and gown, diploma, school gear, or any props that highlight your achievements and personality. Multiple casual outfits are great when going downtown and the park. I always like working within the last 1 ½ hours of sunlight for optimal quality of light.

Q: When should I schedule my senior portraits?

Honestly, I’m working with graduates all year long, so whenever you are ready. Be aware of the rush during April and May with graduation ceremonies quickly arriving. You’ll need time for announcements and other items printed to arrive from our pro labs.

Q: How do I book a session?

Text or call me at 504-957-8412 or email george@gkphotography.com. We’ll schedule a consultation and tailor a package to your needs.

Q: How long until I receive my photos?

For portrait sessions, an image teaser or two will be shared the following day, and all of the edited imagery will be seen at the sales session. Wedding photography also has fast favorites shared, and the final delivery of images will be available for download within 2 weeks.

Q: How long do print orders take?

Online orders will show delivery options via shipping options. Orders directly with GK will be delivered within 2 weeks if not sooner, depending on what is ordered. Canvas Wall Art requires more time, while smaller print sizes are super fast.

Q: Do you offer albums and prints?

Absolutely! I specialize in custom albums and fine-art prints so your images live beyond the screen.
