frequently asked questions

It looks like you specialize in couples, weddings, families, and seniors. Do you offer any other kinds of sessions (branding, real estate, etc.)?

I do! While I take on a limited number of sessions beyond my 'core' offerings, I still love the opportunity to meet new friends and document whatever season of life you are wanting to document. Just fill out an inquiry form + gimme all the details! I can't wait to chat.

Where are you based? Do you travel?

I am based in Northern Minnesota (in the Twin Ports area), but absolutely love to travel!! I travel up the North Shore and down to the Twin Cities frequently, as well. But hey, if you've got the travel bug, I'm in. Whether you're jet-setting from Hawaii to Maine, Europe to New Zealand, I'll meet ya there. I even have a list of Bucket List Locations where I'll photograph your session for free! Fill out an Inquiry Form + let's start dreaming!

How many photos will we receive? How will we receive them?

Great question! The number of photos you will receive is dependent on how many hours of photo coverage is included in your package. We will chat about this when we hop on a call. You will receive an email with a link to your secure online gallery. From there, you can download + print to your heart's content.

How do you keep our photos safe?

I am always photographing on Dual SD Cards -- if one card is corrupt, we have a backup. When I get home from your session, I backup all the RAW files onto 2 hard drives. During this time, the RAW files are uploaded into an online cloud - while I'm editing your photos, they are constantly being uploaded to the cloud. After your final gallery is delivered, I continue to keep the RAW files and fully edited gallery for 1 year after your session.

The very thought of wedding planning + managing timelines is overwhelming. Do you help with any kind of wedding or elopement planning?

I hear you! As a recent bride, I can definitely empathize with how much is on your plate. But I promise to be exactly what you need throughout the planning process. Whether you're looking for vendor recommendations, outfit recommendations for your engagement photos, finding the perfect location for your "I do's", or help wrangling your wedding party for photos on the big day, you can count on me!

Will you help us figure out what to wear for our session?

Absolutely! When we first start working together, we'll chat about what you envision for your session. I'll then have you put together a Pinterest board to make sure that we can truly bring your vision to life. While I'll absolutely send you a "What to Wear" guide, I can also make some suggestions based out of your vision for our time together. But the most important thing is that you're authentically YOU. No matter what you wear.

Do you offer family 'mini sessions' throughout the year or before the holidays?

I actually haven't in the past, primarily because weddings and seniors occupy a lot of my time in the Fall, which is when families start to book photos for their Christmas cards. But if I do ever offer mini sessions, they would be announced on my Instagram (@emmie.verdell.photography). 

We are a little overwhelmed when it comes to finding the 'perfect location' for our photos. Can you help?

Whether you need help narrowing down locations or you have no idea where to begin, I'm your gal. When we first start working together, we'll chat about what you envision for your session. Your vision will be the key factor in helping us narrow down the perfect location. Whether your session takes place locally, or we are headed somewhere brand new, location scouting is my forte! 

Do you offer videography?

While Emmie Verdell Photo doesn't offer videography, my brother does! You can check out more of his info over on the Team page or at jcbvideography.com -- make sure to tell him I sent ya ;)
