The Booking Process
•·················•·················•
How to Reserve Your Session
Booking your session is simple, transparent, and fully guided. Begin by selecting your preferred collection. Each thoughtfully designed to include a set number of professionally edited, high-resolution images. To get started, submit an inquiry through the contact page or explore the Newborn Photography Dallas or Cake Smash Photography Dallas pages to choose the experience that best fits your vision.
Once you’re ready to reserve your date, a contract and invoice will be sent. A non-refundable retainer secures your session:
• $35 for baby sessions
• $125 for cake smash sessions
The remaining balance is due prior to your session. All collections are subject to 8.25% Texas sales tax. Payments are accepted via Zelle or PayPal.

What’s Included
Every session includes creative direction, styling guidance, and professional retouching. Your final images are delivered as high-resolution digital files through a private online gallery. Ready for download, printing, and sharing. Each gallery is intentionally curated to include your most meaningful and beautifully refined moments. Additional images may be purchased à la carte for $35 per file, allowing you to expand your collection, if desired.

When to Book
Newborn sessions are best reserved during pregnancy to ensure availability around your due date. Sessions typically take place within the first few weeks after your baby arrives. Cake smash sessions are best scheduled 2–3 months in advance to allow time for custom setup planning and availability.

A Curated Approach to Your Gallery
All collections include high-resolution digital images with a full print release. This allows you to download, print, and share your images freely.
For the best results, professional print products are also available directly through your gallery.

WHO OWNS THE RIGHTS TO MY PHOTOS?
All images are protected under U.S. copyright law, meaning Lily Hayes Photography retains full copyright ownership. Upon delivery, you are granted personal use rights, allowing you to download, print, and share your images for personal use.
• • •
DO YOU PROVIDE RAW (UNEDITED) IMAGES?
RAW images are not delivered, as they are only the starting point in the creative process. Each image is carefully edited to reflect the clean, refined, and timeless style seen throughout the Lily Hayes Photography portfolio.
• • •
CAN I PRINT MY IMAGES?
Yes. Your final gallery includes high-resolution digital images with a full print release, allowing you to print and share your images freely. Each image is delivered in high resolution, suitable for professional-quality prints up to 30x40 and beyond. For the most accurate color and quality, professional printing is recommended.
