FAQ
Covid Policy
I always prioritize your safety and it is no different in these uncertain times- I'm carefully monitoring the situation (just like you). That’s why in addition to practicing and enforcing best practices for social distancing and self-isolation, you can rest assured that if your event is postponed due to COVID-19, your non-refundable deposit will act as a credit with Viktoriya Huffman Photography for up to 12-months. You have enough to focus on and your retainer with me shouldn’t be one of them.
What 5 words best describe your personality?
Patient (You kinda have to be!). Honest. Driven. Creative. Resilient.
What do you love most about being a photographer?
I get to connect with my clients; to be there for raw emotion and natural interaction- for better or worse! I’m all smiles when editing and delivering galleries as I recall the intimate details and context of each image. The photos don’t change, but the way we look at them over time absolutely does- I relish my part in making history together. That, and it’s allowed me to travel the world and see things in ways I wouldn’t be able to otherwise.
Why do couples + families love working with you?
I treat clients like my own family (watch out!) making sure all details are communicated while building rapport and trust in the process. I get to know my clients, arrange for any special needs, and work tirelessly (is there any other way?) to bond with kiddos so they are at ease and comfortable. I think they appreciate my organized, communicative approach before a shoot and my creative, understanding presence during.
With the intrinsic rewards you get from being a photographer, do you also charge for your work? ;)
I provide customized packages to fit the needs of my clients. Please reach out to me and we’ll discuss options to best fit your requirements. Family/Lifestyle/Maternity/New Life: Mini-Sessions are $250 and portrait sessions begin at $400.
How many images do you deliver per session?
All of them! I don’t make you choose a limited number or select them for you. I review and edit all of your photos and, barring test shots, duplicates or unflattering candids, deliver all of them because you deserve it! Generally, engagements or portraits range from 75-125 images; mini sessions are in the 50-75 range, all beautifully edited and ready to share!
How and when do we get our photos?
I review and edit every single photo- a time-consuming undertaking. With that in mind, I try to get your photos to you in 1-2 weeks.
Can I have the raw files?
Unfortunately, no. Post-production is a large part of the process that makes my work and your photos unique. I deliver fully-edited, extremely high-resolution images that I demand and you deserve.
Can we buy prints or do we have to order through you?
It’s up to you! You receive full rights to all your photos to print where you please. However, the gallery I deliver to you links to my printing lab. I recommend professional prints as they are archivable and high-quality. I offer a wide range of prints and products that you are always welcome to!
