I am getting some questions about ferry scheduling so I thought I would go ahead and let everyone know about the ferry time schedule. This is crucial when you are booking your flight that you book it to make sure you are able to get to and from the Island in plenty of time.

*I would suggest allowing the following times for travel (time has been added for those "just in case's") ALLOW:

1.5 hours of travel time to get from the island to the airport (includes ferry time)
1 hour of travel time to get from the airport to the ferry*

If you are flying out of ILM (this is a small airport) you will need to arrive 1 hour before your flight departs.

The ferry is about a twenty minute ride and it leaves the second they say it will. They will NOT hold the ferry for you... believe me! You will need time to get all of your luggage unpacked and allow them to load it onto the ferry a few minutes before it departs. I suggest holding all of your equipment to carry on yourself!

FYI: When you see the word "Indigo" used, this is where you board the ferry at the mainland. "The island" is considered Bald Head.

We've been getting lots of questions, so we thought we'd answer them here on the blog just in case anyone else had the same questions.

Question #1:

My question is - what if I am not available to get that phone call - will i get bounced from the top 40?
I am heading to Lake Anna Virginia to do a family session and staying the night. I have been told there is no cell signal or internet access.

Answer #1:
In this case, we can get your payment info today. You can call Kelly today with that info 318.513.9881. This DOES NOT mean you are registered. In order to claim your spot in the workshop, you must still be one of the first 40 ladies to register in the morning via our website.

Question #2:
Millie, I love the Love Affair website, it is gorgeous! My friend and I are hoping to register tomorrow, but I would like to know what about your cancellation policy. We have no intentions of doing so, but you know, it is just good to know.

Answer #2:
The money paid is non-refundable. In the case that you cancel, you must find someone to fill your slot in order to recieve your money back.


Question #3:
I can't see where we register. Is registration open yet? If not, when?
Thanks

What is your preffered method of payment?

Answer #4:
Credit Card or Check

Question #5:
I am seriously considering signing up for this workshop. I think its a terrific opportunity. My problem is... i am just starting out with photography and dont knowif your workshop will be too advanced for me. any thoughts?

Answer #5:
At any workshop you attend, it is normal to have photographers at all levels of learning.I wish I would have had opportunities like this when I first began shooting!  That being said,this is really something you'll have to decide for youself.  We are planning on having a beginnners crash course as a late night option at least one night if we have enough to attend.If you are brand new, there will obviously be things that we discuss that might not apply to
you yet, or that you might not understand.  As long as you have a good attitude, and don't get discouraged, I think it would be a great opportunity to emerse yourself in world ofphotography lingo!

Question #6:
Will you fabulous women be having another workshop ever? I will not be able to come. To this one and it would totally break my heart if this is my only chance to learn from ya'll!

Answer #6:
Well of course ;)

Question #7:

How will we get from the airport to the ferry? Should we go ahead and book this? What do I need to do?

Answer #7:

We are actually still working on the details of this. We have several options but we are looking for the most cost effective way since this will be an added expense for you. Stay tuned to the blog because we will be announcing transportation and giving more details on this soon.
