Yes! The deposit will be 20% of the total cost of the session. This will hold your date, and it is non-refundable. In the event of a major travel situation and a date that is pretty far into the future, I will wait until a closer date to charge travel costs because of unknown travel expenses. Therefore, this will be charged separately from the original invoice with the required deposit. These travel costs will then be charged in full on the day of receiving the invoice. There will not be a deposit option. For weddings, 50% will be due on the day of booking, and the rest will be due 3 weeks before the wedding date.

Yes you can! You will be given the option to order prints, canvases, and wall art through the gallery that will be sent to you. All of these physical products will come from Miller's Photo Lab. Miller's is a professional photo lab that only prints for photogrpahy businesses. Their work is extremely high quality!

I am located around Batesville, AR. I live in Locust Grove, AR which is about 10 minutes from Batesville. I have lived in this area my whole life, so I consider Batesville to be my hometown. However, I will travel anywhere that I am paid to travel for HCH Photos. My service area is not limited to the Batesville area. If you come to me though, I know a lot of the good spots! I am in the eastern edge of the absolutely beautiful Ozark Mountains. This is my home and and where my soul feels connected. I am an Arkansas Ozarks boy through and throuhg. I love my home, and I would love for you to make a trip to my area for your photo session. I'll play tour guide!

As a general rule, I don't use props in my photo sessions. However, if there is a specific prop that you would like, you are more than welcome to bring it. You can also ask me if I have something. I may be able to bring something simple, but no promises. Like I said, I generally shoot without props, so I don't have a bunch of props at my disposal.

I love to travel, and I will go pretty much anywhere! I do not charge travel for work that is within a 30 mile radius one way. All work over 30 miles away will have travel costs added. I charge .85 cents a mile to drive. This covers gas, food, time, and other random travel costs. I also charge for the cost of anything extra such as hotel, flight, rental car, etc. These costs will vary depending on each situation. There will also be an expense for food at the amount $50 a day if the trip requires an over night stay, multiple nights stay, and/or a flight. Travel costs are subject to change depending on the different factors that play into each unique situation.

Yes you can! You will be given the liberty to order photos through the provider of your choosing. However, not all photo labs are professional; such as Wal-Mart and Walgreens. You could end up receiving low quality prints. I suggest using www.mpix.com for odering prints on your own. They are very fast and professional. Don't wait until the last minute and end up settling for low quality prints.

For the most part, just bring yourself! I shoot outside most of the time, and I use natural lighting most of the time. Sometimes, I'll use my flash. I don't use props unless you bring them. So, if you would like to have something in your pictures, feel free to bring it. We will try to incorporate it into the session. If there will be a pet in the photos, it may be a good idea to bring treats or toys just to keep them happy and occupied.

I like to say that my video style is like a mini movie. If we are speaking of a wedding day, I simply video clips of the time that I am there and then put them together with music. Sometimes, depending on the preference of the bride and groom, I will add in things like the vows and letters to each other. I follow the same process for my Cinematic Portraits. I just video a bunch of different clips of the person, couple, family, etc. Then, I put those clips together with music to make their mini movie.
