Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can be in a group?
No more than 10 people is recommended. The time frame (20 minutes) would limit the variety of images. If there are two consecutivetime slots available, you are free to book both - the 10 minutes between them gets added to your time! More time spent means more variations - group shots, family groupings, couples, siblings, etc.
How many pictures will I get?
A minimum of five per session - a maximum of whatever we get beyond that. Factors that can effect the number of pictures include the size of the group, cooperation of children, mobility issues, etc.
If I book back-to-back sessions, do I get to use the ten minutes between sessions?
Yes! As an example, if you book the 2:00 pm session, it ends at 2:20pm. If you book both the 2:00 pm and the 2:30 pm sessions, your session will end at 2:50 pm.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, but it will not be allowed in the cabin. Dogs are allowed only around the exterior of Spence Cabin.
Are there bathroom facilities in Spence Cabin?
Yes. Spence Cabin will be open; however, the restrooms are for quick usage - extended periods to “get ready” (e.g., hair and makeup) will not be allowed.
