The Session Process
From planning your location to holding your archival prints, here is what to expect.
Collaborative Planning
We discuss your vision, location ideas, and styling. Whether you are looking for an urban architectural feel in downtown Fargo, a clean studio look, or scenic golden-hour light, we ensure every detail is dialled in.
10–14 Day Turnaround
Your master gallery is ready within 10 to 14 business days. Delivered through a private, password-protected client gallery at clients.brettwhitney.media with easy full-resolution downloads (active for 120 days; after 120 days, contact the studio for archive retrieval).
Artisan Color & Quality
Every delivered image receives careful color correction, exposure balancing, and clean skin retouching. We deliver fully mastered, high-resolution files ready for social, digital, and wall art displays.
Session Availability & Lighting Windows
Monday – Friday (5:30 PM – 10:00 PM): Weekday portrait sessions run during late afternoon through twilight to capture peak natural lighting and dedicated evening focus. In addition to photography, I work a full-time 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM day job Monday through Friday, so weekday shoot availability opens up immediately after at 5:30 PM (which captures the best golden hour and twilight lighting!).
Saturday & Sunday (9:00 AM – 10:00 PM): Full-day weekend booking windows are open for portraits, seniors, and aerial projects.
