Q: Do I need an appointment?

A: Appointments are suggested. Each mini-session is only 10-15 minutes in length in an effort to see as many people as possible and reach our goal of $10,000 donated to the Red Cross. Walk-ins will be accepted with appointments taking first priority. Making an appointment will help us keep waiting times to a minimum. To make an appointment please call 425.367.4781 or email irene@ijphoto.net .

Q: Who can be photographed during the event?

A: Normally Irene Jones Photography’s studio can handle groups up to 25 but for this event we are limiting the largest grouping to 6 people at one time. Pets can be photographed but appointments MUST be made to accommodate the special needs of animals. No pets will be photographed without an appointment. Infants, children, and people of all ages are welcome!

Q: What should I expect?

A: The event will work as follows:

1. You will be greeted and required to fill out our information sheet.
2. Your photo session will be photographed on your choice of one of our backgrounds.
3. Images from your mini-session will be displayed and you can choose print packages for your desired images.
4. An appointment to pick up your purchased prints will be scheduled.

Q: What forms of payment will be accepted:

A: Please bring cash or check. Credit cards processing fees will have to be subtracted from the total donation, thus subtracting from our overall goal. We would like to keep overhead as low as possible.

Q: What if I miss my appointment time?

A: Missed appointments will be rescheduled for a later time during the event or treated as a walk-in appointment. Those arriving on time will be giving first priority. Please plan to arrive 5 minutes early to avoid a missed appointment.

Q: Is parking available?

A: Street parking only. Please keep this in mind when planning your session.
