Q // Can weather be an issue?
A // For sunny days my preferences are to shoot early in the day or in the late afternoon/early evening time. The natural lighting is usually best at this time! But what if it is cloudy? Well…clouds can actually be great! Clouds can help the overall picture by neutralizing any harsh unwanted shadows or light. If it is raining we will reschedule.
Q // What should I bring to the shoot?
A // For individual portraits bring a variety of different clothes to change into. Different tones, different looks, button ups/dresses/jeans/ties… diversity is key! For family portraits remember to coordinate your outfits with each other. It is not necessary to all wear the same colored outfit but keep the patterns or look consistent.
Q // What are my options for payment?
A // Cash or checks are the preferable methods of payment.
Q // Are all of the pictures mine?
A // This can get a little tricky! Let me try to explain it to you as best I can. Included in the portrait packages are the print releases to the images. What this means is that with the DVD of high resolution images I give you, you can make as many copies of the images as you please… as long as it is for personal use. For example when you buy a HOLIDAYportrait session you can make any of your pictures into Christmas cards and send it to your family and friends. During an ENGAGEMENTportrait session you can use any of your pictures for Save-The-Date cards, wedding invitations, etc. What you can’t do is alter/edit any of the images or sell any of the images since I still own the copyright to the files. This preserves the integrity of the photography industry. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this issue :)
Q // Do you shoot other types of photography?
A // Yes! I shoot all kinds of photography. If you want to book me for an event, party, photobooth, etc feel free to contact me and I’ll send you a quote.
Q // When can I expect to have the DVD of my pictures?
A // You can expect up to 2 weeks after your portrait session to have the DVD.
