Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you located?

We serve churches mainly in the central Minnesota area.

Who owns printing rights of the photographs?

All clients are given a photography service agreement and print release form detailing our policies. Usually we sign over printing rights to the client, while reserving limited usage rights to use photographs for our portfolio.

Depending on the extent of the photoshoot or service package, a contract bundle may be provided that includes comprehensive set of contracts tailored specifically to the client's request.

In addition, a model release form may be requested to limited individuals in photographs that ilse would like to use for promotional purposes, i.e. our website.

What do you charge?

Our church directory photography is a free service. Each individual family, plus the church, receives a digital copy of their photographs. *Prints and photobooks may be ordered separately through a secure online link.

*All church event and branding photography, yearbook, website, and directory management services are priced per need. Please contact us for a quote.

Can we book directory photoshoots on a Sunday?

Yes. We enjoy visiting our brothers and sisters in Christ, and may shoot photos before or after your regular church service.

Where do you take the photos?

We work both indoors and out, year-round. We have all equipment needed to set up our studio on-site.
