• Why should I hire a professional photographer instead of having a friend or mom and day take a picture?
  A professional will be timely and will get you quality results to you. A professional has just the right equipment and backup equipment. Having photographed many people and seniors an experienced photographer will be at ease which will help put you at ease. A professional uses a color lab that is in the business of meeting high professional standards or print quality. A real pro is also used to working with individuals, couples, and groups to make the formal photography go smoothly. When you think about the cost of photography you have to keep in mind that the photographer's fee is only part of your investment: You will be investing time with the photographer during your session. Don't waste time on with a photographer who won't produce the results and memories you will cherish for the rest of your life.
• How long before we can view the images?
  Senior portrait images are online within 1 week. Once you pick out which photos you want we can generally have the order to you in another week.

 

• What do I look for - how can I tell good from bad photography ?
  Look for the photography you like and that meets these standards: 1) Impact - The images should show your personality. 2) Correct color, density and focus. Most images should have a ful range of tones. Is the work bright or washed out? Are the images out of focus? Are the eyes natural or contain red? A good photographer will create gorgeous photographers beginning till end. 3) Posure - this is in the traditional portraits. Does everyone look nice. Are ties straight, the ladies hair in place, the brides dress displayed well? The last thing you want is a picture of the bride with smudged makeup, hair out of place, her necklace hanging crooked, and her dress just tossed how ever.
• Why is photography so expensive?
  Experience, experience, experience. A professional has had the opportunity to photograph hundreds if not thousands of people. With that much experience, practice and training a photographer becomes worthy since they can provide quality work time and time again. A pro will not only give you great images but give you quality prints that will last a life time. You have to remember that your family and friends will be looking at your senior portraits. In the long run having spent a little extra is worth it.
• Is there a retainer fee?
  Yes, the retainer fee is $75.00. Naturally this is applied towards your balance.
• Will you location scout the wedding?
  Yes, if I am not familiar with the location, I will scout the location prior to the session.
• What kind of equipment do you use?
  I use a Canon 5D digital SLR with a multitude of L series Canon lenses.
• Do you bring backup equipment?
  Yes, I also bring a Canon Rebel Xti digital SLR to serve as a back up camera just in case.
• Will we get DVD’s of all the photos and can we make prints ourselves?
  Yes, most of our packages include the digital negatives.
