Are you available outside Lincoln?

Yes I am. There will be a $.45 per mile charge for any photo shoots scheduled outside of the Lincoln, NE area.

What if I need to cancel my appointment?

If you need to cancel an appointment with Shutterbug Photography we'd appreciate you notifying us within 24 hours. If you do not notify me, you will be billed for your session.

What are your photo prices?

4X6	$3.00
5X7	$5.00
8X10	$10.00
Wallets (4 per sheet)	$4.00

An on-location photo shoot is $30.00 per hour. This includes creative talent, one hour of time, shipment of your photos, and a 30 day online gallery.

How do you bill me?

Typically, I bill (time and photos) when you order your photos. You can, however, save 10% by paying for your photo shoot at the time service is rendered. You will still be billed for your photos when they are ordered.

How long do I have to pay my bill?

Although we'd like to have you pay on your invoice as soon as you receive it, we realize this isn't always possible. You have 30 days to pay your bill before interest starts to accrue. Interest is figured at 3% per month. If other arrangements need to be made, please do so prior to the 30 days. If your account goes over 90 days, you may be risking collections or small claims court.

What type of payments do you accept?

I accept cash, money orders, cashier's checks, and PayPal (for credit/ debit cards) online payments. Checks and money orders must be made out to TRACI CAMERON. In your billing, you will be reminded. Failure to do this will result in our needing to rebill you. If we need to rebill you, there will be an accompanying $2.00 charge.

For those of you who would like to pay via PayPal (for credit or debit cards), 5% will be added to your total bill.

Do you require a deposit?

Only if the scheduled shoot is expected to be over $200.00. A 50% deposit is expected.

Do you offer "package" deals?

No I do not. I feel it is more restricting to the client. For an example, photographer #1 offers a Bronze Package that includes 5 hours of photo time and 300 4X6 photos for $1,700. This exact "package" with Shutterbug Photography would be $1,050. Photographer #1 is only offering you 300 sized 4X6 photos with this package. What if you want a few wallets or 5X7's or 8X10's? Photographer #1 charges extra for that. What if you wanted 250 4X6 photos, 40 5X7 photos, and 10 8X10 photos? Shutterbug Photography could give you exactly what you want!

I DO offer package deals when I am photographing at cat shows. Since they are likely to change each time, I have the "specials of the day" posted at my table. Prices generally run from $20 to $40.

Can I buy a CD of my pictures?

You may purchase a CD of your pictures for $10.00. An example is shown below.

 
 

What backgrounds do you offer?

Please ask when you reserve your photo shoot. Our background choices could change as we purchase new selections frequently. Currently we have available the following designs:

Blue Tie dye	Brown Tie dye	Grassy Green (close shots only)
Coffee Delight (close shots only)	Purple Passion (close shots only)	Blue Sky
Soft Whispers	Midnight Blue	Glimmer (close shots only)
Distortion (close shots only)	Charcoal (close shots only)	Storm Clouds
Ornament Delight (close shots only)	Christmas Tree (close shots only)

What do you shoot with?

I have a variety of cameras ranging from a 5 MegaPixel to an 8 MegaPixel. I typically shoot with my Minolta Dimage A2 (DSLR 8 Megapixel), but also use a  Minolta Dimage A1 (DSLR 5 MegaPixel), as well as a Kodak EasyShare (8 MegaPixel P&S).

Do you alter photographs?

I have the ability to do some alteration work such as red-eye and background. Here are a few examples of my work:

Can I preview my pictures?

You sure can! Type in the website address to access your photos that you were given in e-mail. The photos will be resized and watermarked for website viewing.

Can You Relist my Pictures?

Photos remain online for 30 days. If you need an extension, please contact me prior to the 30 days. Depending on the space available on my server, I may be able to extend for another 30 days. All photos are saved in a PDF archive format. To view a sample archive, please click here.

May I copy the photos on your website?

Not without prior permission. This website contains material that is protected by copyright and trademark laws. You may not copy, modify, sell, distribute, transmit, display, reproduce, publish, or license any photographs from this site without the express written permission of Traci Cameron.

Who retains copyright on your photos?

Under USA Copyright laws, even though you pay us to take photos, I, as the photographer, own the copyright to those images. I would never allow my images to be used in a degrading or negative manner.

Can I use the photo you took for me on my website?

Shutterbug Photography allows use of our images for personal home pages. Photos must have a Copyright line if our images are posted on the internet, or emailed to others. If the photo you are using has a watermarked signature or copyright information, that is sufficient.

For those who want to print their own photos and request a "full size" image (without my name watermark) to be sent to them via e-mail (or regular mail), the fee per image is $200.00. This is due to the loss of future business for Shutterbug Photography when we lose control of one of our images.
