Q & A
1. What kind of camera equipment do you carry?
Your main photographer carries Nikon equipment, witch includes small, medium and large lenses. Several filters and flash or small softboxes to add dimension and softness to you the client.
2. Do you carry tripods or umbrellas for formal sessions?
If not, why?
I currently work with available light only.
I photograph in a photojournalistic style. Our photography is taken with a lot of new & edgy angles. I want my photography to speak to you about that specific time, that way when people look at your photography, they will feel the energy & the passion of that time. This requiers me to move very quickly. I need light equipment to allow that.
3. What do we wear for a photo session?
It is always best to wear comfortable clothing. Clothing that is too tight not only does it not feel comfortable it looks that way to the eye as well. Light colors on children, or dresses on girls and matching colors for a family or a large group always works best.
4. Do we have to sign a contract for our wedding?
Yes. We mail it to our clients. It states the copyright rules, the important dates and times and in the end it is signed by both parties. Both stay with copies.
5. How do we communicated with you what we want?
Really think about what you are looking for.
What style do you want?
How many pictures do you need?
How much time do you need the photographer for?
What budget do you have aside for the photographer?
Do you want to have a close relationship with
the photographer?
Do you want formal photos?
Do you want photojournalistic photos that are more edgy and unique?
We have communicated with our clients all through e-mail up to the moment we meet at out destination. E-mail is better than phones at times for some.
You can also call and we can speak on the phone.The photographer basically answers all your questions. We set the date, the first down payment is paid. That payment is ussually sent by check 4 days after the appointment is made, and it reserves your date in our calendar. A few days later we exchange information as to were to meet, what time to be there, what vehicle we drive and phone numbers.
6. Can we change clothing?
You can bring up to 2 changes of clothing for regular sessions. 3 for maternity sessions. 3 for babies, and 2 for toddlers.
7. I'm a little nervous, I have small children and they are pretty active, how do you make the session go smoothly with very small active children?
I've worked with many children, and I find that small children are really easy. They are actually easier because they are very natural and very unique in their own little ways. I've had to stop sessions before to give small children a little break, and that's perfectly fine. I am very patient. I have 3 small girls, under 7! So trust me, I'm fast with my camera.
8. What happenens if I don't like the pictures that are taken?
I have never had that happen. My photography is always fresh and edgy. You have to always have an open mind. Wear your best alfit, Wear your best smile and leave the rest to me.
