These sessions will be held on the following dates:
November 4th-10th (times vary day to day)
2.) Where are the Holiday sessions located?
LOCATION: Stacy Smith Studios 4 Warren Ave North Providence. Below is a photo of the entrance. Please park out front, come in that door and up the stairs to the lobby area where you can wait to be called in for your turn.
*** Please make sure your navigation takes you to NORTH Providence. Not EAST Providence. This has happened before!
3.) How many people does the session fee cover?
The fee is for up to 5ppl. Additional people are $25/each. No splitting sessions. Pets are welcome free of charge as long as they are well behaved, friendly and house broken. Keep in mind other people may be coming in and out with their pets as well.
4.) What if I am late or have to cancel my session?
If you are late and we have someone after you your session will be cut short. Refunds are only given if the studio needs to cancel your session. If you cancel you lose your deposit. You may schedule based on availability.
5.) When will I receive my gallery and how long does it take to receive my final images?
Galleries are delivered via email within 5 days Be sure to save “stacy@stacysmithstudios.com” in your contacts so our email doesn’t end up in your spam. You will choose your favorite images to be retouched. Guaranteed turn around by THANKSGIVING!
6.) How many photos do I get?
These sessions come with 6 retouched images of your choice. Photos are edited and delivered to you within ONE WEEK from the time you submit your choices. You will be emailed instructions on how to download them right onto your own computer from your gallery. They are high-res and logo free. You do NOT get to keep the unedited images.

Yes, additional images may be purchased. Individuals are $25/each or you can get 5 for $100, 10 for $150 or 15+ for $10/each.
8.) What if my kids don’t cooperate?
We do NOT issue refunds for uncooperative children. We will do what we can with the time we have to get them to smile or perhaps give them an activity to do within the set that will result in good photos. Face-swapping in photoshop is available at an additional charge but this cannot be guaranteed and may require a longer turn around time. If we have absolutely NO LUCK with your kid(s) during your session I will try to offer you a second session if there are still spots available. If you anticipate your children will be tough please bring things that make them smile that we can use to get their attention and some happy faces!

We ask that you please bring CASH to your session to pay your balance. We will have change on hand. We will also accept Venmo and Zelle. Credit/debit cards will NOT be accepted to pay your balance.
10.) Where can I get cards printed?
You can get your photos printed anywhere! We suggest using websites like “Snapfish,” “Mpix,” “Minted” or “Shutterfly.” Walmart and Walgreens are also available but NOT NOT GO TO CVS. Professionally edited photos are not compatible with their software and your cards will come out highly pixelated and grainy.
11.) Can we bring more than one outfit?
Yes you may change outfits. We have a dressing room available for this. However, your time will NOT be extended to accommodate outfit changes so don't make them too difficult!
