Where are you located?
The studio address is 1498 Hatchie Street Brownsville, TN 38012.
If you type in Samantha Brown Photography in Google Maps it will lead you directly to the studio.
When should I book?
While I try to accommodate every inquiry. My calendar does fill up weeks to months in advance especially during the late summer through holiday season. It is best to book as early as possible. I only shoot Tuesday- Saturday. Weekdays are more likely to be available than Saturdays.
When should I book a newborn session?
It is best to book as soon as possible for your newborn session. I schedule newborn sessions according to your due date. I do understand babies will come when they are ready, so don't worry that date is flexible. Once your baby is born please contact me so I can get you scheduled as soon as possible. Newborn sessions are best when scheduled 5-14 days after birth. These sessions are only photographed during the weekdays (Tuesday-Friday mornings). Sessions are scheduled at either 10:30 am or 11:00 am and will take place in my studio.

Do you only shoot certain times of the day?
For most in studio sessions I schedule the sessions between 10:30 am- 6:00pm. For outdoor sessions I will not shoot mid day, these sessions must be done at sunrise or later afternoon and closer to sunset.
When will I receive my gallery?
Sessions take 30 days to process. At times they may be done quicker. During the busy fall & holiday season they may take a bit longer. You will receive an email with your online gallery link once your images are ready to view and download.
Do I have to order prints through you?
No. You are given a print release to your high resolution gallery. You may print on your own or you may choose to order prints through me. I can recommend several printing labs for personal use.
Do you offer Mini Sessions?
Yes. But not all the time. Mini Sessions are scheduled events through out the year and limited. Minis are typically designed setups for children but I do have at least 2-3 a year that are for families.
