Book a Session


Book Your Session

I’m Sterling Batson, a photographer in Hilo and Kona on Hawaii’s Big Island. Ready to book? Tell me the type of session and where, and I’ll confirm availability and next steps. Looking for rates first? See the pricing page. I reply within 24 hours.

Booking, deposits & rescheduling

  • Deposit: a 50% deposit holds your specific date and time. Once it’s booked, I turn down other inquiries for that slot, which is why the deposit matters.
  • Rescheduling: plans change, and that’s fine. Let me know at least 7 days before your session and we’ll find a new date together, at no extra charge. If it’s due to weather, that notice doesn’t apply.
  • Refunds: your deposit is refunded if weather prevents an outdoor session, or if we simply can’t find a new date that works for both of us.
  • Balance due: the remaining balance is due on the day of your session, by Venmo, Zelle, cash, credit card, or crypto.
