Portrait photography tips.

Outdoor portraits
Although natural lighting from the sun can often be the best possible, it's not dependable.
If an appointment is scheduled, there's no guarantee that the outdoor lighting will be good.
If you wish to have an outdoor portrait, you will need to be flexible as to timing.

Sitting fees

Sitting fees cover the costs of film, proof development, but not the photographer's time.
They are not applied to the purchase of prints. I guarantee a satisfactory shoot with at least one photo.
In the rare cases that I don't get at least one good pose, I'll do the re-shoot at no charge.

Included in sitting fee is one 4 by 6 proof print with each roll of film taken.

I usually take a full roll ( 24 shots )per sitting. If necessary, I'll take a second roll. I use high quality film, usually 200 speed or less, either 35mm or 2 1/4" roll film. I always shoot in color, but I can convert any image to either black/white or a sepia. I can also work artistically with Photoshop to produce unique prints. I have a digital processing lab, so we can print all our own prints up to 11 by 17 inches. Images are scanned in at high density. You have a choice of Premium Glossy photo paper, or an archival Matte finish heavyweight paper. I can make edge to edge borderless prints, too. I can also provide transparency sheets at 10% higher cost. Ask about custom greeting cards and T-shirts
