Do you do Character themed shoots?
Yes, but we do not provide the character themed props.
For legal reasons we can not offer themes for characters that have been trademarked. For example (Barbie, Mickey mouse, The Grinch, Batman, Cocomelon, ECT.) All we can do is set up a generic scene that matches your child's outfit and whatever props you decide to bring in. If you choose to bring in character themed props you can bring them a day early or with you and they will be setup for your photos.
What's the difference between commercial and non-commercial licensing/photography?
Commercial photography is used to sell a product or service. Non-commercial is for personal use.
Commercial licensing/photography is used to sell or promote a product or service, or otherwise support a business or organization in making more money. I.E (shoots for/with models, products, magazine/newspaper publications, T.V, book covers, event & promo flyers, social media, brochures, websites, billboards). Our commercial licensing is for 1 year with the option to renew/add years for an additional fee if needed.
​
Non-commercial licensing/ photography is for use or activity where the purpose is not the sale of a good or service, and the use or activity is not intended to produce a profit. I.E (birthdays, family portraits, graduation, engagements, weddings)

If you are unsure how to credit, all you have to do is add a caption or tag my business by typing in: @rayvoncreates If that isn’t pulling up, you could simply include my website: rayvoncreates.com. I choose to not watermark my images because I want the focus to be YOU and your beautiful smiles! Please remember our non-commercial photo sessions are for a non-commercial use only so other commercial businesses can not use your photos for promotion/profit without my written consent or purchasing commercial use licensing.
How do I prepare for my shoot?
Dress for success, arrive on time, and be ready for a great time.

You will receive a reminder email the day before your session with helpful tips and another copy of your signed contract which contains the address. Please arrive dressed as you are not allotted extra time outside of what is booked. For children sessions please bring their favorite toy and snack just in case they have a hard time warming up. To help aid in a successful shoot make sure they have eaten, had a nap, and have been changed/groomed prior to arrival. Music is played throughout the session so have an artist or songs in mind. Please do not arrive more than 10 minutes early to your session.
