How do I book a session?

The first step is to browse our photographer’s portfolios and choose an artist whose style and personality align best with your family. From there, you simply click “Book (Artist)” to submit a contact form directly to the photographer. Our artists will personally be in touch to schedule your session and begin planning the details!

Do you require a deposit?

Yes! A $50 non-refundable deposit is required upon booking your session. The deposit goes towards the overall cost of the session.

How do I choose a location for my session?

We love to hear your ideas and we also love to offer suggestions! Through the planning process and communication, your photographer will work with you to decide the best date, time, and location for your photoshoot. If you have any specific ideas, please feel free to share and collaborate!

I/My family doesn't identify as Queer. Can we work with Queer Family Portraits?

Of course! Our diverse team is dedicated to working with anyone who identifies or allies with the LGBTQIA+ community. We have many people who choose to support and work with a company that aligns with their values.

I love Queer Family Portraits, but I live outside of Minnesota. Does your team travel?

Absolutely! Travel fuels us. For any sessions taking place outside 30 miles of the Twin Cities area, a roundtrip mileage fee will apply. For sessions out of state, we work with our clients to determine the appropriate travel fees that will apply.

How far in advance should I book my session?

Ideally 2-4 weeks in advance. Check with your photographer to see if they have any last-minute openings! Additionally, make sure to sign up for our mailing list where we will announce mini-session dates throughout the year.

What happens if I need to reschedule?

When it comes to family sessions, we entirely understand that life happens. rescheduling is sometimes necessary due to sickness, inclement weather, and family emergencies. If you need to reschedule, please reach out to your photographer to find a new time that works best for everyone ♡

How long does it take to get my photos?

We strive to deliver sessions 3-5 weeks after your session takes place.

How long will my online gallery be active?

Your online gallery will be active for up to one year from the date of delivery. We encourage all of our clients to download both the High Resolution + Low Resolution files to their personal computers, cloud storage, and hard drives for safekeeping over the years.

Do we own the rights to my images?

Yes! You absolutely do! You are free to use, share and print any images on your own from your session with us! In your contract, there is a model release section. There you have the choice to allow QFP to use your images for our marketing and promotional purpose or you can always keep your photos private. We respect whatever decision is best for you ♡

Does your studio offer professional prints and products?

Yes we do! Our print shop is available directly through your online gallery! Simply add an image to the shopping bag to view all of the options! The sky is the limit to prints, albums and fun products that will last a lifetime!

Do you photograph weddings?

We sure do! In fact, the idea of Queer Family Portraits stemmed from our wedding photography studio, Rivets and Roses. Our wedding studio is 15 years strong and our team of photographers is dedicated to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and allies alike. Visit our website here for wedding work + rates.

Do you give back to the LGBTQIA+ community?

Yes, yes we do. Our team supports the work of RECLAIM!, whose mission is to increase access to mental health care for queer and trans youth so they may reclaim their lives from oppression in all its forms. We have chosen this organization as an option for our clients to donate to since they are one of the only places in MN that financially offers accessible, specialized mental health care to this population. This year our team will host volunteer pop-up sessions for Reclaim’s staff and clients, along with volunteering our time for other organizational needs throughout the year.

We encourage our clients + community to donate directly to RECLAIM! here!
