Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Hey GemFOX, when will the pictures be up?
A: Albums for bookings are uploaded to my site generally within 2 weeks of the event, longer during busy season. Freelanced shots will be posted at my leisure after booked priorities are completed. Follow my Facebook page for previews.
Q: How do I buy a photo?
A: Click the "Buy" button on the right side of the photo, or click the "Buy" button at the top of the album's page to buy multiple photos.
Q: Can I print a photo I downloaded from your site at Walgreens/Costco/CVS/Etc?
A: Yes, you can print watermarked or unmarked downloads for personal (non-commercial) use at the lab of your choice. If they have you fill a form asking if you have permission to print, leave them my contact information (my website gemfoxphotography.com, my FB page facebook.com/gemfoxphotography, or my email [email protected])
Q: Hey GemFOX, can you send me whatever photos you got of me?
A: Photos are posted publicly, not delivered via inbox or messenger. Links to albums are posted to FB and delivered to whom initially booked.
A: If you booked a solo shoot, your album will be uploaded within a couple weeks after the event, and occasional previews will be posted via FB.
A: If you or your captain booked a team shoot, same as above.
A: If you did not book ahead, then there's a chance you were not included in the shoot; however, if by chance you were captured during a freelance op, those shots will appear after bookings are completed.
Q: Hey GemFOX, I'll pay you for any shots you might have of me.
A: If you did not book in advance, please let me finish bookings first, then I will see if I have anything of you, and we can work out a retro-active booking fee. If you're hoping for photos, please book a photographer next time, doesn't have to be me, thanks!
