submit an inquiry through this site then be on the lookout for an email from chat@rachelfayephoto.com I always respond to inquiries within 48 hours. You may even receive a text message from me asking you to check your spam email as I hate for people to think I did not respond to their inquiry! I am truly grateful to every person that inquires to work with me; I would never ignore an inquiry!

once we connect, we schedule a Discovery Call at a time that’s convenient for you. This call is crucial, as during this time, I assist you in determining the best backdrop for your session to bring your vision to life! I will ask questions to ascertain the activities and location that are most enjoyable for your family. If you have young children, do not be surprised if I ask about nap time! I have two young children (under the age of 4) so believe me, I know how vital sleep is to ensuring everyone’s day (and night!) go well! With that being said, I will most likely also mention snacks :P

when a session date and time is set, I will send you a link to officially book your session. This includes signing of the contract and submitting payment of the non-refundable retainer. This fee secures your family onto my schedule. Please understand it is non-refundable, however, if your session needs to be rescheduled, we will simply move the date of your session and the retainer transfers over. You will not need to submit another retainer fee. The contract provides your permission for me to utilize your family memories in my portfolio (website, ads, social media, etc.) However, if you personally refrain from showing your children’s faces online, please please please let me know prior to completion of your session. I will ALWAYS honor a parent’s right to keep their child’s identify private. I have a blog post going into this further, with examples of images you will receive that are safe for posting. You can view the post here.

once you have officially booked your session (contract signed, payment submitted) YAY!! Time to celebrate the excitement of a stunning family experience coming soon!! Our next step is to schedule a Styling Consultation. This call will ease any and every stress you have regarding clothing and accessories! A lifestyle session with me is expertly designed to be completely stress-free. I know the stress of styling each and every family member, head to toe; with husband’s sometimes being the most difficult :P Allow me to take this worry away from you. A client closet cannot allow for the variety of styles of Houston’s beautifully diverse families! My Styling Consultation is customized to your individual family!

your session day has arrived! be excited!! you’ll have the most fun, the most care-free photo session you have ever experienced! More importantly, your children will have the best day because they’ll be engaged in what children do best: being loved by their family
