Yes, I am permitted to photograph on Okaloosa county beaches and working on my Walton county beach permit.

Both these counties require photographers to obtain a yearly beach vending permit in order to take photos on the beaches, public and private.

If, in the opinion of the Photographer, inclement weather or other adverse conditions prevent the creation of a successful session to the artistic standards of Photographer, Photographer may elect to use an alternate location or to reschedule the session. Photographer will notify the Client at least 12 hours for morning sessions and 4 hours in advance for afternoon/evening session and will base the decision off of local weather forecasts. Photographer's policy is that if it is a 60% chance of rain or more, the session will be rescheduled; UNLESS, client chooses to go forward with session and work with photographer to find optional covered areas. If the chance of rain is less than 60%, Photographer will leave it up to the Client to decide whether to reschedule and Photographer will inform Client of the implications of shooting in light rain or inclement weather.

When rescheduling Audrey Darke Photography will give clients her next availability and allow the client to choose from the dates/times at no rescheduling fee. If client is unavailable for Audrey Darke Photography next available dates/times a credit will be issued to be used when client and Audrey Darke Photography is next available. Credit must be used within one year of it being issued.

An annual beach permit is obtained by Audrey Darke Photography and because I have a list of locations that do not require a permit, if you choose one that does it is your responsibility to cover that cost on top of the package chosen.

My turn around time is 2-4 weeks. It just depends on how busy I am!

Your online gallery will be available to you all for 3 months. Once it is close to expiring you will receive emails reminding you to make sure you have them downloaded. If you wish to have it reopened after it expires there is an unarchiving fee.

It is $150.00 to purchase the full morning mini and multi-mini photo galleries.

For the extended mini session it is $250.00 to purcahse the entire gallery.

I open my books for family sessions 3 months out from desired session date.

If you are interested in a summer session (May-August) I recommend booking as soon as I open my books 3 months out as I book up fast; however, if you are looking at more off season times you can typically get away with booking 2-4 weeks out.

Sunset sessions they start 30/45/60 minutes before sunset.

Sunrise sessions they start at the designated sunrise time for that day.

Morning sessions they take place between 7 and 9 AM.

The retainer is a non-refundable 50%  to reserve the time/date requested. The 50% is part of the total cost listed on the pricing page.

Yes, there is a 25% surcharge for any sessions taking place on a holiday weekend and a 50% surcharge for any sessions taking place on a holiday.

Ex. If you want to do a session on Memorial/Labor Day weekend or if Christmas (and other holidays) fall on a Friday or Monday making it a long weekend the fee would be incurred.

No, I do not give my clients RAW or unedited images.

All the fully edited images that are up to Audrey Darke Photography standards will be uploaded to the online gallery which will then be emailed to the client.

I shoot with my Canon 5D Mark III and my second/back up camera is the same.

Of course! I would be a little sad if you didn’t bring your dog. However, please keep in mind dogs are not allowed on the beach along the gulf coast with the exception of a few dog beaches located in PCB and Pensacola Beach.

With props think outside of the box! Blankets, sparkling water to pop, musical instruments, bubbles and hats are some fun ones my clients have brought in the past!

Don't worry I got you! I have an entire list of great locations that you can pick from that are divided up into what you are going for (beach, city, etc)! You will get exclusive access to this list once booked!

For mini sessions, unless the entire gallery is purchased there is not the option to swap photos.

For full sessions, there is the option to swap out photos if requested within 5 days of gallery delivery.
