Q.  Oh no!  I have a pimple/woke up late/my car broke down/something came up/my kids are sick!  Can I reschedule my shoot?

A.  Sure.  If you call us at least 24 hours before your shoot, there is no fee for rescheduling.  If you have to cancel the day off, your deposit is forfeit.  We'll try to get you on the schedule on the next available appointment that works for you.

Q.  What should I wear?

A.  It depends on what type of shoot you're doing.  Here are some suggestions:

*Seniors: we usually recommend at least two outfits, one more casual and one more formal.  If the background is complicated, the clothes should be simple.  You don't want to wear anything that will draw attention away from you.  Bring several options if you are unsure and we can always choose when you get to your shoot.

*Headshots: something unobtrusive, without wording or logos.  If you are having shots done for a specific role, perhaps think about an outfit that would show your character or position.  For more general shoots, a black or white shirt is always a good staple.

*Families/Children: you have the most creative options in this type of shoot but make sure you always have a backup plan.  Without a doubt, someone will spill/throw up/fall and another outfit may need to be chosen.  If you're going to match outfits, choose a neutral color, perhaps black/white, grey or brown where they won't take too much attention away from your beautiful faces.  For kids, anything with a logo or wording is not suggested unless it is used as a "prop" for the photo (ex: "Grandmas/Grandpas are the best" type of t-shirts can be integrated quite well into kids portraits!)

Q.  Do you have a specific place that you shoot or can we do another location?

A.  We do have a studio space, for indoor shots, and we can use outdoor locations as well.  Circumstances such as weather may prohibit the use of outdoor settings, but we're flexible about where we shoot and we like to find interesting new places.  If you have a spot you want, please let us know!  We like to scope out locations before the shoot.

Q.  What about retouching...I have a pimple I want gone, gone, gone but I don't want to look like a manequin either!

A.  Yup, we do that too.  We try to retouch as little as possible, focusing mainly on blemishes, enhancing eyes, stray hairs and reducing facial lines.  Special requests can be made as well.  We have a wide range of clients with various needs so our experience ranges from the simplest blemish to all-out fixes like closed eyes and insertion of missing family members from group photos.
