What should I wear?

Studio shooting -

  • It is preferable that you don’t wear white because it is easy to overexpose (loss of detail) so it is great if we just avoid using it
  • Black is another color that is best to avoid due to the fact that it doesn’t reflect light so well (meaning a lack of detail)

Note: Any other colors are just fine. If you absolutely want to wear something white or black we can still do it. It is only a preference of mine that we don’t, not a must. If you aren’t sure just bring multiple options and I will let you know.

Location shooting -

Feel free to wear whatever you would like but white is still great to avoid… however if you would still like to wear it please do so.

What do I need to bring?

  • Makeup kit for touch-ups
  • Hair gel or spray to control frizzy hair
  • A few clothing options; something you love and not necessarily seasonal unless that is the look you desire

Do you provide a stylist?

No, but I do have a very clean restroom that you can get ready in and do touch-ups if they are needed. I haven’t had any complaints.

I also have some Ben Nye clear powder to help reduce shine if necessary.

Do you shoot family portraits?

Yes and no; my studio isn’t large enough to allow me to shoot large family portraits (about 3-4 maximum) but we can certainly do an outdoor or another location photo shoot.

Do you provide prints?

It’s not a service I advertise but I can if you would prefer. We can discuss the rates if you are interested, just ask. They will be reasonably priced. I have some examples of prints (4×6, 5×7 & 8×10) in my studio that I will be happy to show you.

Do you have pets?

Yes. I have two cats named Key and Mo-Mo. They won’t be in the studio unless you want them there for the company.

Note: If you have allergies to cat dander all I can suggest is we can still try a studio shoot if you would like. I have a very clean studio/home (shoes off at the door is preferable please). I have had one customer that is extremely allergic to animal dander and we made it through the entire shoot with no issues at all.

What are my payment options?

  • Cash
  • Check
  • PayPal (if you would like to pay via PayPal there will be an additional 3% charge added due to the fee that PayPal charges)
