FAQ

CLICK ON ANY QUESTION TO REVEAL THE ANSWER

  • Travel within 20 miles round trip of Chattanooga, TN is included. For sessions beyond that, a travel fee of $0.60 per mile applies. If you're booking a session 400+ miles away, I also ask for a hotel stay (1–2 nights depending on the timing and session type) unless I am already in your area. I’m always happy to talk through the details and make it work!

  • Life happens and weather does too. If rain or an unexpected change comes up, I’m always happy to reschedule. I keep a few backup dates available just in case, and I’ll work with you to find a new time that feels just as special. Your comfort and the experience matter just as much as the photos.

  • Absolutely! Every session includes access to a personal online gallery where you can order high-quality prints, canvases, and more right from the same place you view your photos. It's easy and designed to help you bring your favorite moments to life off-screen.

  • You'll receive your fully edited gallery within 1–2 weeks (or up to 6 weeks for weddings). I’ll send you a private online gallery where you can download high-resolution images, share with loved ones, and order prints—all in one place. It’s easy, beautiful, and yours to keep.

  • Absolutely! Most sessions are flexible and can include both. Just let me know during planning so we can make the most of our time together.

  • Yes, please! I love when pups are part of the story, they're family too. Just bring a leash, some treats, and maybe a favorite toy. I’ll work around their energy and make sure we capture their personality right alongside yours.

  • “A really fun experience that yields very nice, genuine photos...”

    My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Joshua Sisk Photography. We booked him for a session and had such a fun time, none of the awkward forced smiles and posing. He threw in little prompts that turned the shoot into a little fun game and got some really genuine shots of us that way.

    I highly recommend Joshua if you’re in the Chattanooga area and want a really fun experience that yields very nice, genuine photos that are delivered in a very timely manner. Especially if you’ve got kids or animals, he really did so well with getting the attention of our famously non-photogenic husky. I’d definitely book another session with Joshua — it was such a blast. — ANTONIOS & JOANNA SAMIOTAKIS

  • “We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding and reception.”

    We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding and reception. I highly recommend Joshua for your next photoshoot. He was so easy to work with and he cares so much about capturing your special moments. I love his style and artistic eye.

    Joshua met with me weeks before the wedding to get a better feel for what we were looking for and our overall “vibe” as a couple. We’re not super comfortable in front of a camera and told him we would need a lot of coaching, and he made it comfortable and easy. Once again, I can’t say enough great things about working with Joshua. We will cherish these photos and memories forever. — ROB & ERIN MCCORMICK

  • “He has a special way of connecting with everyone”

    “We had the most incredible experience! From the very beginning, Joshua made our family feel at ease, and the entire session was full of laughter and joy. It's not easy capturing the true essence of a family, but Joshua managed to do just that with such warmth and creativity. He has a special way of connecting with everyone, making sure we all felt comfortable and natural. The photos turned out absolutely stunning. These are memories we’ll cherish forever.” — DAVIS FAMILY

  • “His inviting personality allowed it to feel like we were all just hanging out.”

    “We were absolutely blown away when we received our pictures! On top of being an extremely talented photographer, Joshua made us feel so comfortable throughout our whole shoot. His inviting personality allowed it to feel like we were all just hanging out and in return he was able to capture us being our natural selves. Couldn’t recommend him enough!!” — JONATHAN & ANNA MUELLER

  • “He is personable and funny...”

    “Joshua's creative eye while being on-location achieved really great images. He is personable and funny, which helped him capture our family as naturally as possible as opposed to posing and not giving direction.” — ANDERSON FAMILY

  • “...one of the most artistic people we have ever met.”

    “Josh is one of the most artistic people we have ever met. He is more than accommodating with anything you desire. We loved that we were given directions. Josh made us feel comfortable (when my husband is typically the most uncomfortable person in front of a camera). The photoshoot was an exceptional experience. The images were real and raw of my little family. We really couldn't have asked for more. We will treasure these gorgeous photos forever!" — CUNNIFF FAMILY

  • “If you’re looking for someone who brings patience, creativity, and heart to their craft, Josh is it.”

    “Our family had the most wonderful experience working with Josh. From start to finish, he took his time, paid attention to every little detail, and truly went above and beyond to capture our family in such a natural way. You can tell he genuinely cares about his work and takes pride in making every shot meaningful. He made us all feel comfortable and relaxed, which really showed in the photos. If you’re looking for someone who brings patience, creativity, and heart to their craft, Josh is it.” — STINSON FAMILY

  • “He is able to capture candid emotions in the moment without the pictures coming out looking posed.”

    “Joshua is such a creative and talented photographer. He is able to capture candid emotions in the moment without the pictures coming out looking posed. We highly recommend Joshua to anyone looking for a great photographer. He is the BEST! Besides being highly skilled in his trade, he is also very personable, friendly, helpful, and very easy to work with.” — BARRY & KELLY KIMSEY
