Some of the most frequently asked questions from our clients are included on this page. If you don't see the answers you need, we are only a mouse click away!
Q: What type of clothes should I wear?
A: As a general rule, traditional, "non-trendy" clothing works best. Stay away from bright colors, wild patterns, and logos. Long sleeves are always more pleasing in portraiture, making the face the center of attention. The exception to the rule is when the type of clothes make a statement about who you are.
Q: Where will you do portraits?
A: Anywhere. There is a certain "comfort zone" for a photographer to work in his environment, but for you to project your best and have the total lifestyle portrait, your location is often the best. We have created portraits in fields of flowers, in clients' homes and gardens, in parks, along rivers, IN rivers, in fact, most anyplace a client has a special feeling for. Our studio is a modern up-to-date facility should you elect to use a studio setting.
Q: How much time do you reserve for my portraiture?
A: As much time as needed to create the portrait you've always dreamed of. We have no preset time limits and only schedule a limited number of sessions.
Q: Do you create pet portraits?
A: Yes, we use creative sets and lighting to create loving portraits of these special members of your family.
Q: Some photographers don't like to photograph small children. How do you handle these sessions?
A: We love kids! Their naturally inquisitive nature, openness and honesty make for the ideal portraits. We recommend bringing some of their favorite things from home. Everyone feels more comfortable around their "stuff" and kids are no exception. We like the simple outfits like white slips for little girls and overalls for little guys. Tiny bare feet and hands tend to be a focal point in our children's portraiture.
Q: Digital or film...What's best???
A: We have converted to a fully digital system in the studio. This is a state-of-the-art, high end system with a resolution to deliver wonderful portraits in the larger wall portrait sizes. The added benefits are immediate viewing of preview, very inexpensive digital retouching and image manipulation, and previews "on the net" for ease of out of town family and friends to review and order.
Q: What about cost?
A: We have a very reasonable Session fee to cover our creative time. Portraits may be purchased in custom packages of your own design or individually. We have no minimum purchase and retain digital files indefinitely. We accept cash, check, all major credit cards and are happy to layaway.
Q: For Senior portraits, what should I bring? Is there any limit to the number of outfits I can bring?
A: Senior portraits are a special celebration of a 12-year achievement. Our philosophy, as in all of our photography, is that your portraits should say something about what you are like, not just what you look like. They should be an extension of your personality. To that end, bring things that are important to you, that reflect that little something that makes you unique. Bring several outfits to show your many facets. Many different styles is the key, not just numbers of outfits.
