Fall 2023 with Jessica Rockowitz Photography

I sent an email out earlier this spring with information about who fall photos are good for. It is super informative, and I highly recommend taking a peek! Please note that there is usually over 10x the demand for fall spots than there is availability.

Here are the important things to keep in mind for fall:

*I am offering full one hour sessions on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays. Sessions on Mondays and Fridays will be taking place at a location of your choice anywhere in West Austin (Westlake Hills, Bee Cave, Lakeway, Spicewood, or Dripping Springs). If you did want a session outside of this area, there would be a travel fee ranging from $50-100 depending on the location. Sessions on Sundays can take place anywhere in Austin or surrounding areas without any travel fees.

*I am offering petite 30 minute sessions on Tuesdays with a rain date on Thursday. These are at pre-determined locations so you know exactly where you’ll be going and the general timeframe of your session upon booking. You MUST be available for both the shoot date and the rain date, NO EXCEPTIONS.

*I am offering mini sessions at Sekrit Theater on Saturday September 23rd and Sunday September 24th. There are 8 spots total for these. They are 15 minutes and come with 10 digital images.

Fall is the busiest time of year. What does that mean for your session?

It means that you must be flexible. I cannot control the weather; sometimes we have dry falls, and sometimes falls mean lots of rain. We cannot reschedule for mildly inconvenient weather. If it’s overcast, chilly, or hot, we will still be shooting. If it’s raining, we will absolutely reschedule. If you have a Sunday shoot date, your rain date will be on a Saturday.

Please look accordingly at the slots to see what time Golden Hour is. It is different for each time of year. Please note that if it’s overcast that day, I might need to pivot us up to 1-2 hours early for our session. Again, this means that flexibility is so important.

I unfortunately do not have the capacity to allow for reschedules for business trips, sports games, etc.

What happens if I don’t get a spot I want?

I can only hold spots for 12 hours, so I have created a waitlist for those to submit spot requests that they did not get. If a spot opens up due to failure to pay the retainer, I will move down this waitlist in the order I received.
