How do we decide on a location for our session? First, you need to decide what kind of feel you want your pictures to have? Do you like an urban look (old textured walls, doors, metal backgrounds, etc..), or do you prefer a natural setting (parks, fields, rock features, etc..).
What time of day is best for taking pictures? I prefer to schedule our session when the lighting is best. Lighting during midday tends to be too bright and causes shadowing. Late afternoon and early evening the light is softer and is when I prefer to shoot our session.
What kind of clothing should we where? You should choose a style of clothing that reflects you and your family. Do not feel like you have to all be matching. Picking two or three different colors and mixing them between family members is nice way to look unified, but still allows for individuality. Adding layers and different textures will give more depth to your pictures. Be careful to use pattern sparingly, clothing that is too busy will be distracting.
When do I make payments and recieve my CD? Payment will be due at time of session. Your CD will be ready within two weeks of our session. I will post a small sneak peek for you within two days of our session.
How do I order prints? After you recieve your CD you can order prints whenever you want. A 20% down payment will be due at ordering with the balance due when your print order comes in.
What if I have to cancel my session or there is bad weather on the day of our session? I have a family and understand that things come up unexpectedly at times. Please be respectful of my time by giving me at least 24 hour notice. If there happens to be bad weather on the day of our session we will reschedule at the earliest convenient time.
