What age can I start having my child's portraits taken?
The wonderful thing about photography is that it is a medium that can document life's stages. I always encourage parents to begin this journey when at the stage of pregnancy. Then we have newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months and so on.
Is color better than black-and-white portraits?
I shoot in color. The photos can always be converted to B&W in the digital darkroom later.
What is the best outfit for a group picture?
It is easier for the eye to view coordination in color with clothing. If one is in primary colors and the other is in pastels, it does not give a harmonious effect. I usually suggest a theme, let's say for a family, everyone can wear jeans and a white shirt or whatever may be complementary to each other, the background or setting of their choice.
Do you do photo retouching?
Yes. For an additional fee, we can digitally retouch blemishes, braces, wrinkles, stray hairs, etc.
Do you shoot with film?
We primarily shoot digitally but can use film if requested. The latter will be more costly and your choice of images will be limited.
Can I use my own props for my senior session?
Definitely! We encourage you to bring whatever you think may personalize the photos, like your sports equipment and uniform, musical instruments, etc. If the location of choice will be outdoors, we can photograph you next to your car, motorcycle, snowmobile, etc.
As far as business shots are concerned, what is the best background?
We can do your portrait in the company boardroom or inside your office as well. However, if you want a more conservative approach, we suggest a slate -colored wall for a background.
How do I prepare my pet for a photo op?
We highly recommend getting your pet groomed!
What if I need to reschedule or cancel an appointment?
Please contact us as soon as possible! However, you will forfeit your non-refundable 50% deposit which is required to book your shoot and reserve your session time.
When will my pictures be ready?
The approximate time will be about 3-4 weeks. Digital retouching will require more time. The remainder of your balance fee will be due prior to receiving the finished products.
