Because I believe you should love your photos before you invest. No matter the cost.
Over the years, I’ve seen how much pressure people can feel when they’re asked to spend hundreds of dollars before they even step in front of the camera. I built something different. I’d rather show you the value first and let the photos speak for themselves. So I take the upfront risk instead.
You show up, we create something together, I edit your gallery, and then you decide what you want to purchase. If that’s one photo, great. If it’s the whole gallery, fantastic!
If you don’t love anything, you don’t owe me anything. My free 30-minute mini sessions give you a chance to have a professional photoshoot without the usual upfront commitment.
I’ve now photographed thousands of sessions, from families and maternity portraits to headshots, graduates, and even rescue dogs. That experience has taught me how to work with real people, including energetic kids, adults who are convinced they’re “not photogenic,” and dads who were not exactly counting down the days until the family photoshoot.
I’ve built this business around making photography feel more accessible, comfortable, and low-pressure. That means creating a safe, welcoming experience for everyone and doing things a little differently than the traditional model.
Whether you’re booking holiday family photos at Papago Park or updating your headshot for a new chapter in your career, the goal is the same: make the experience easy, natural, fun, and worth it!
Both digitals and prints are available for purchase after your session.
2-3 days after your session, you’ll receive an online gallery with 60+ edited images. From there, you can choose exactly which digital photos you’d like to purchase, whether that’s a few favorites or the full gallery.
There is no requirement to buy anything, and you are not required to order prints. If you do not like your images, you do not have to purchase any digital files or prints. I am that confident we will get amazing photos for you.
Once purchased, your high-resolution images are available for immediate download – no watermark, no branding.
Your gallery also includes a built-in print store where you can order high-quality prints, design graduation cards, or purchase gifts through my professional print lab.
2-3 days after your 30 minute session, you’ll receive an online gallery with 60+ edited images. From there, you can choose exactly what you’d like to purchase.
There is no minimum purchase, so you’re free to buy just one photo, a few favorites, or the entire gallery.
You only pay for the photos you want to keep. My ultimate goal is to deliver the best possible photos so you’ll want to keep them all.
Mini Sessions (Free to Book)
Custom Sessions (Prepaid)
Retouching is not included by default with mini sessions – since I do not know which photos my clients end up purchasing, I do not retouch anything unless an order has been placed.
After you purchase the digitals from your gallery, you can use the retouching order form to submit retouching requests and give notes on exactly what you would like done to the images. You can order retouching for any image using this form.
Please allow up to 7 business days for retouching requests to be completed.
If you miss your session without notice, the time slot is forfeited and cannot be rescheduled.
Because mini sessions are scheduled back-to-back, a no-show means that time can’t be filled by another client.
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please use your booking link or reach out in advance so that time can be made available to others.
If a no-show occurs without notice, future bookings will require a $20 retainer to reserve your time slot. This retainer will be applied toward any purchase you make from your gallery. If you choose to not purchase anything, then the retainer will be refunded.
My free mini-sessions are scheduled back-to-back, so arriving late will reduce your session time.
If you arrive a few minutes late, we’ll use the remaining time for your session. Sessions cannot be extended due to late arrival.
If you arrive significantly late, we may not be able to complete the session. I will always do my best accommodate late arrivals as long as you communicate with me.
If you know you’re running behind, please send a quick message as soon as possible. Reach out via 480-625-6013 or send an email to Jason@RealMcCoyPhoto.com
We shoot rain or shine – unless extreme weather conditions.
Light rain, overcast skies, or cloudy weather often create some of the best conditions for photos. Cloud cover softens the light, which helps skin tones look more even and flattering – many clients end up loving their photos even more on cloudy days.
I also keep clear umbrellas on hand, which can add a fun and natural look to your session.
If weather conditions are unsafe (extreme storms, high winds, 120+ degrees, etc.), I will reach out to reschedule your session.
Because mini sessions are scheduled back-to-back, weather-related reschedules are limited. If you’d prefer not to shoot in light rain or uncertain conditions, please reschedule at least 24 hours in advance using your booking link or by reaching out.
For summer sessions, please keep Arizona heat in mind when selecting your time slot. Early morning sessions are strongly recommended, especially for maternity sessions.
If you’re bringing a pet during the summer months, please schedule before 9am or during sunset. I do not photograph animals when temps are over 100 degrees for their safety. Pavement test: Place your hand on cement, if you cannot hold it there for 10 seconds, it is too hot for your pet to walk on.
You’re welcome to bring anything that makes your session feel personal and fun.
That could include things like:
The goal is to make your session feel like you, so don’t be afraid to get creative.
The only rule: if we bring it in, we take it out.
I do not photograph confetti, colored powder, poppers, or anything that leaves a mess behind at public parks. Biodegradeable powder and streamers that are easy-cleanup is totally fine. This helps keep our local parks clean and respectful for everyone.
If you’re unsure about a prop or idea, feel free to ask ahead of time. I love brainstorming with my clients when they have ideas for their perfect session.
