Sessions & Policies

The Sessions

The Basic Session is just that. A short studio session, usually less than thirty minutes, of one subject with no clothing changes. Though the session is basic, the photographs will still meet the highest of standards. These sessions are good for professional head shots, updating a child's portrait or when you just don't need a full blown session.

The Classic Session offers unlimited flexibility. This is the studio session where you call the shots. We'll photograph whatever combination of poses, groupings and clothing changes that you desire. These sessions usually last between forty-five and ninety minutes. The result will be a wide variety of portraits from which to choose.

The Location Session includes up to two hours at a location of your choice. Due to the fact that location sessions require scouting and transportation of photo gear, there is an increased session cost and deposit. If the session is canceled due to weather there is a cancellation fee. Prior to scouting a non-refundable deposit is due. Additional charges for travel time and expenses will be added when necessary for out of town sessions.

We encourage a pre-portrait planning session at our studio as an important part of the portrait process. The proper clothing and hairstyle can make or break a portrait. Your goals for the portrait are critical to achieving the desired final result. Where you are going to display your portraits is also an important consideration. Please spend time to think about these matters and consult with us.
 

Our goal is to make a unique and artful portrait that captures the subject's character and individuality. We believe portrait sessions should be fun and easy and we do everything in our power to make them that way. So, just relax, have fun and it will show in the results. We guarantee your satisfaction. If you're not happy, we're not happy, period.
 

Please schedule early, as it can often take several weeks to receive the day and time that you require. All sessions are by appointment only, so that we can give each client the personal service that they deserve and that is necessary to produce our high quality art. Because of the limited number of portrait sessions that we have available, session fees are prepaid and serve to reserve your time and day. Originals remain the property of the studio and prints are priced separately.
 

To aid you in the selection of your portraits, you will view your portrait previews projected. Please be sure that all decision makers are available for this preview session, as it allows the process to go smoothly and your portraits to be completed in a timely fashion.
 

Timely ordering of your portraits is important both in regard to your satisfaction and in maintaining the efficiency of the studio.
 

We can also advise you about framing your portraits for the finest presentation. Ask us and we'll be happy to help.
