 How long is a photo session? A simple single portrait session typically is 2 hours. In that time there can be multiple setups and wardrobe changes. If you are scheduling a backdrop/studio session in your home the session shooting time is arranged in advance, depending upon how many backdrops you would like to use, up to 4 hours. How long is a business/executive portrait session? Using an existing location in your facility everything is done in preparation for the executive to spend the least amount of time in front of the camera. Composing and lighting the shot is accomplished using the photographer's assistant. The busy executive can spend as little at 15 minutes actual shooting time depending on how many poses requested. Using a backdrop requires a room for setup. Lighting the shot is accomplished using the photographer's assistant.

Can I put my photos on Facebook? We'll deliver images ready for social media upon request. Is there a limit on how many people in a family shot? Not at all. If using a studio backdrop we can comfortably arrange 6 people. If you have more people we can discuss the possibilities at the phone consultation. Do you do pet portraits? We have included family pets in a family portrait. And we have been asked to shoot a portrait of the family pet. How many people can be in a studio backdrop shot? Our backdrops can comfortably fit up to 6 people. Possibly more, depending on how they are arranged. Doug is very creative. We can discuss this in our phone consultation. Why doesn't my 5X7 print match the cropping of my 8X10? Technically: If the camera takes 2560x1920 pixel images, the aspect ratio is 1.33. (The long side is 1.33 times longer than the short side.) 8 x 10 is 4:5 aspect ratio or 1.25:1 - thus a bit must be trimmed off the sides. We offer custom sizes to bring into full frame the image as captured by the photographer: 8X12, 12X18. Can you do green screen and put me in Paris in front of the Eiffel Tower? Yes, we can! We would need to see the image you want for the background. Call us. How many poses can I do? There is no limit within the time set for your session. I am not very patient. How fast can you shoot? We understand the camera can be intimidating. During setup Doug performs test shots with his assistant to minimize your time in front of the camera for those who are especially camera shy. His personality is casual to help you relax. Often the best shots are taken when you are least aware. |
