Frequently Asked Questions.
Everything you need to know about our studio setup, session pricing, advance booking timelines, and image delivery.
Where are you located and what areas do you serve?
Aperture is based out of Ypsilanti, Michigan, proudly serving the greater Ann Arbor area and the surrounding Southeast Michigan region including Canton, Saline, Plymouth, and Detroit Metro. Travel for on-location shoots, destination weddings, and corporate events can easily be arranged upon request.
How do I secure my date?
Once we discuss your vision and confirm our availability, a signed digital contract and a non-refundable retainer fee are required to officially lock your date into our calendar. Everything can be easily completed online from any device.
How far in advance should I book?
For weddings, reaching out 9 to 12 months in advance is highly recommended, especially for peak Michigan wedding months (May through October). For standard studio sessions, family portraits, and professional headshots, booking 4 to 6 weeks ahead of your desired date is ideal.

How is privacy handled for boudoir photography?
Providing a welcoming, comfortable, and empowering space is our highest priority. All boudoir sessions are strictly confidential. Your images are kept private and will never be shared on our website or social channels without explicit, written permission from you.
Do you edit and retouch all of the photos?
Yes. Every delivered image undergoes professional color grading and careful retouching. We apply high-end processing techniques to refine lighting and correct color balance, ensuring a polished, professional finish while keeping skin tones natural and authentic.

Weddings & Large Events: Full digital galleries are delivered within 6 to 8 weeks, with a curated set of preview highlights provided within 24 to 72 hours.
Portraits, Headshots & Boudoir: Final edited images are typically delivered within 2 to 3 weeks via your private digital cloud gallery.
