Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I get all of the photos?

    No, Behind BluEyes Photography does not provide RAW or unedited photos.
    Additional professional digital edits are available for $10 per photo or bulk discounts can be applied. Behind BluEyes Photography is selling more than just images, we are selling an art, and RAW’s do not showcase the quality or standard of our work. As a photographer, I aim to achieve a cohesive style, which is an important part of my artistic vision.

  • Why does editing take so long?

    Behind BluEyes Photography never uses presets or batch edits your gallery. We personally select every image and spend a considerable amount of time correcting imperfections, brightening shadows and enhancing colors.

  • Can I pick which photos you edit?

    YES! Within 48 hours of your session, you'll receive a preview gallery where you can view all the images and select your favorites for professional editing. This ensures you're getting the moments that matter most to you, just the way you want them.

  • Can I put filters on the photos?

    No, pictures can not be altered in anyway, but I will include complimentary Black & White edits. Please do not crop, add filters or take into photoshop.

  • Can I print my photos?

    I will provide a Print Release in our Contract giving you access to Unlimited Printing Rights. I highly recommend printing your images with SmallWoodsHome.com, they typically have great discounts and offers for bulk orders. I do not offer printing options at this time.

  • What if my dog is energetic or easily distracted?

    Refined portraiture does not require perfect stillness. Through professional lighting, technical precision, and gentle direction, we capture both poised expressions and dynamic movement. Energy, when guided, becomes elegance.

  • Are the Highland Cows real?

    As real as rain.
    Yes, the Highland cows you see in my photos are 100% real—and full of personality. I work closely with a local fold that gives us access to over 25 Highlands, ranging from shaggy little calves to majestic full-grown bulls and mamas. Each one has their own quirks and charm, and many of them are trained to interact gently during sessions. If you’re dreaming of cuddles, snuggles, and unforgettable cow-kisses, you’re in the right place.

  • How do I prepare my dog for a session?

    Preparation is simple — and we’ll guide you every step of the way.

    We recommend grooming within a day or two of your session, bringing your dog’s favorite treats or toy, and allowing for a light walk beforehand to release excess energy. Most importantly, arrive relaxed and unhurried — your dog will mirror your energy.

    Once your session is reserved, you’ll receive detailed guidance to ensure everything feels effortless and enjoyable.

    For a complete checklist and expert tips, please visit our Prep Your Pooch page for in-depth preparation guidance.

  • Can children come down to the farm?

    Absolutely—kids are welcome! But there are a few important things to keep in mind. Highland cows are gentle by nature, but they are still large animals, and that can be overwhelming for little ones—especially if they’ve never been around livestock before.

    If your child is easily frightened or unsure, I’ll do everything I can to make them feel comfortable, but safety always comes first.

    Please avoid surprising your child with the experience. I strongly recommend talking with them beforehand and even visiting or observing large animals prior to your session, so they know what to expect.

    Newborns and very young babies are not ideal for farm sessions due to the fast-paced and unpredictable nature of working with animals. We work on cow time, and that means lots of moving parts and quick pivots to keep up with our fluffy co-stars.
