How are payments made?
We wait until the morning of appointments to email invoices. Payments need to be made the day of the photo shoot. Payment can be made by Zelle, check, or credit/debit card via our online invoicing system.
How are the photos delivered?
We upload photos to Dropbox where you will be able to download the files. You do not need a Dropbox account. We do not upload photos to HAR directly for clients.
What is the best time of day to schedule a shoot for?
We want to stay away from having the sun shining right at the camera on either side of the house. When scheduling, we’ll look up which way the front of the house faces to let you know your best options.
