The FAQ
Where are you located?
I am located in Pendleton, Oregon (home:)), but I attend school in Southern Utah so I run this business in two places!
How long have you been doing this?
I got my first camera when I was about 13 and have been learning ever since. I have been running this business for about 5 years.
How do we get our photos?
Your gallery will be sent to you in an email. When you contact me to book a session, I'll ask you what email you'd like me to send your photos to. You will be given a password in the email that gives you access to all photos and download rights.
How do we book you?
You can email me at lucyoyamaphotography@gmail.com or you can fill out the form on the Contact Me page. You can also find me on Instagram or Facebook and message me there!
Do you retouch photos?
Yes. I believe that part of the art of photography is the editing! I do not drastically edit any of the photos- just retouch the lighting. If you would like additional retouching like blemishes, grass, or weird objects removed- I'm more than willing to do so!
What's your turn around time?
One week and during my busy season, about two weeks. But you will be sent a sneak peek in a few days after the photoshoot! I try to get them done as soon as possible and if I can, I send them to you early!
What should we wear?
Neutral tones are best! Avoid dark colors or busy patterns that you get lost in. If you're booking a family shoot, I recommend that the mother finds what she wants to wear first and then the rest of the family members match her. I also suggest finding a color palette on Pinterest that you love so that your colors coordinate. If you need help or would like to double check, feel free to send me a picture of your outfits!
Can you help us with planning?
Of course! Planning your photoshoot is one of my favorite parts- I love picking and finding the perfect location for you!
How far out do you book?
I would love to set a date with you for as far in advance as you would like! As the date gets closer and if life and weather gets in the way, I'm always flexible and we can find a day that works for us both.
