Office hours are Monday through Thursday from 900 to 4:00 PM, and Fridays from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM (subject to change due to session times).

Evenings are primarily allocated for photo shoots, while weekends are exclusively designated for weddings.

You can also send an e-mail to tammie@albrechtartisticphotography.com, give me a call at 361-579-6145 (please leave a message), or text me at 361-579-6145.

I strive to respond within 12-24 hours, depending on session load, it may take longer.

A non refundable retainer fee of $125.00 is required in order to secure your portrait session.

If for any reason you need to cancel your session, please inform AAP by phone or e-mail within 24 hours prior to your session.  

-If you decide to cancel your session the $125.00 retainer fee is non-refundable.

-If you need to reschedule your session, the $125.00 retainer fee is only valid for a session scheduled within one month from the original session date. You are permitted only one reschedule.

Sessions and weddings over 10 miles from my home are charged at 72.5 cents per mile after the first 10 miles round trip.

In addition, travel over an hour from my home is calculated at $40.00 per hour after the first hour.

Please allow 7-14 business days (Monday-Friday) for me to prepare your preview for portrait sessions. 

Proofing is available on-line only with access to your very own private gallery.

Yes:) I will choose 1-2 images that will be posted on social media at my discretion. This is not to serve as a proofing gallery, it is to allow me to show my work & style to future clients.

You will be able to view all your images when your proofing gallery is emailed to you. 

Yes:) I am located in a beautiful 12 story building in downtown Victoria, Texas, 101 W. Goodwin Avenue, Victoria, Texas.

I am on the 11th floor in suite 1104, with approximately 1000 square feet available for your session.

My studio is exclusively used for sessions and by appointment only (no-ins welcome).

Yes, you can, and I strongly encourage it:) Though local printers are great for printing your personal photos, I do not recommend doing this on a professional level. In today's society, everyone has pictures, but no one prints them. A quote from the movie Kodachrome sums it up pretty good...

"People are taking more and more pictures these days, billions of them. But there are no prints. They are just data, electronic dust. Years from now, when they dig us up, there won't be any pictures to find, no record of who we were or how we lived."

Orders are placed every Friday and take about 7-14 business days for delivery. All orders are paid in advance with an electronic invoice which is sent to you prior to ordering. If you do not want to use electronic invoicing, you will need to bring a check or cash before your order is placed.

Weekends are very busy, so I do not schedule weekend sessions.

If a weekend shoot is absolutely necessary, there will be an additional cost of $100.00.

The same applies to holidays.

Weekend sessions can only be accommodated if I have availability.

Typically, 3-4 weeks. If you haven’t chosen your images and prints by the expiration date, there is a $50.00 re-activation gallery fee.

If you never contact me to request a re-activation, you will not receive your prints or images. Please do not wait until the last minute to process your gallery, as you may have questions, and I may not be available to answer your questions on the last day of your gallery. Please process your gallery as soon as possible.

Digital files are retained in my storage for one year from the date of session or wedding. After one year, all files are permanently deleted and are no longer retrievable.

Clients are solely responsible for backing up and archiving their images.

Please always make sure you protect your digital files on several computers and external hard drives.

Products are guaranteed for quality at the time of pick-up.

However, due to the nature of print products and the uncertainty of how they will be handled once in your home, they are not guaranteed beyond the point of pick-up.

The images provided in your proofing gallery are lightly edited. Lightly edited encompasses color correction, white balance adjustments, exposure correction, as well as modifications to highlights, shadows, and contrast when needed. 

Photo retouching is another method of enhancing an image for its final presentation. Unlike lightly edited, retouching requires additional transformation or alteration of a photograph using various skills and techniques. Every retouched image is individually done by hand.

Examples of portrait retouching include:

- Smoothing the skin

- Removing pimples or blemishes

- Removing shirt stains

- Removing distractions in the background

- Eliminating bra straps

Advanced retouch ($40 per image) AI generative fill edits, head swaps, extensive hair editing, simple composites, or significant body reshaping.

Between 28-34 weeks

It is best to book your newborn session as soon as you have a due date.

My schedule books up quick and I take a limited number of newborn sessions.

I will add you to my schedule knowing that the day may change a little due to babies arrival.

Newborn sessions are always done at 10:00 a.m.

They will take place in my studio and last about 1 to 1.5 hours (depending on the collection you select).

I prefer babies to be 7-21 days new if baby is doing well and you are cleared by your doctor.

Babies are still sleepy and love to be swaddled at this age.

Yes, I have a wide variety of wraps in every color, along with newborn outfits.

Please feel free to bring any items that you may want to use that represents a hobby, favorite sports team, family heirlooms, career (fireman, police officer...etc).

I have the basic props needed for a beautiful newborn gallery. I do love when clients bring sentimental items to the session. Some of these items can be used to create a beautiful background or can be used as something for baby to hold in their hands. Some sentimental items used in the past have been hand made blankets, rosaries, bibles, a parents baby item, deer horns, duck decoys, wedding boutineer, wedding dress, military items, wedding veil...etc.

No I do not. Babies will always have a diaper on along with a diaper cover. I will always cover their bottom with a draped cloth.

A non refundable retainer fee of $500.00 is required at time of booking to secure your wedding date. 

Usually 4-8 weeks. Why so long? Well there are several steps to proofing a wedding. If you hired an awesome photographer, they will review each image (between 1000-3000 images) with a fine tooth comb. This takes a lot of time...about 40-50 hours to be exact. I strive to have a sneak peek with a beautiful blog post when you arrive back home from your honeymoon:) Beautiful things take time to create:)
