Ask about payment plans →Common Questions
When should we book and schedule the session?
We recommend booking 2–3 months in advance, especially for spring and fall. For pre-quinceañera sessions, 4–6 weeks before the event gives plenty of time for editing and printing. Day-of coverage can also be arranged.
Can we do both a pre-event session and day-of coverage?
Absolutely — and it's one of our most popular options. The pre-event session focuses on stunning portrait work with your gown and full styling, while day-of coverage captures all the candid moments and family emotion as the celebration unfolds.
How many people can be in the session?
As many as you'd like! We photograph solo portraits, couples with chambelanes, full courts, and entire families. The Quince Royale and Quince Heirloom packages are designed to accommodate larger groups.
Do you offer outdoor and location sessions?
Yes — we have 55+ locations across Chicagoland on our location map, from parks and gardens to urban Chicago backdrops and lakefront settings. We're happy to help you choose a location that fits your style and color palette.
How long does editing take?
Editing timelines are discussed at booking and depend on session type and schedule. Ask about current delivery timelines and rush options when you reach out to plan your session.
Can we add an album or prints to any package?
Yes, print products including albums, wall art, canvas wraps, and photo cards can be added to any package. We'll walk you through your options after your session when your gallery is ready.
