Can I bring a friend along to just watch?
This is always a tricky question and it really depends on who it is and the type of shoot.
Car space is limited if we go together from location to location and especially when we have a make-up artist present and perhaps multiple subjects it gets crowded in there and during summer months, gets warm. Also friends can effect the nature of the shoot and how you react. We have seen it many times. Especially women that have their boyfriends or husbands along.
In the modeling world this is often brought up as a saftey escort. All models should do their homework and check out a photographer before showing up. We have many references that can be contacted.
If you are a minor we will never object to having a parent at a shoot, in fact it is often required.
This all being said, again it depends on the situation...just ask first. If you show up with someone not previously talked about the shoot will be cancelled.
Can I bring my own props?
Hey if it can fit in the car then be our guest! You are welcome to bring what ever you wish to make these images yours.
We do have some props and are always looking for more. You can also make a request and if its something that we think can be used on other shoots and we can get it, we will.
We soon will have a page listing and showing my props so you have an idea of what I have.
Do I get to see the images before I leave?
If time and location permit, we will sit down and run through all the images shot, deleting obvious throw aways. This also helps to see if we got the look that you wanted and if needed we can quickly re-shoot a pose or look. Sometimes we even do this in the middle of a shoot to make sure we are heading in the right direction (this depends on the location of the shoot).
We shoot in 'digital raw' format so these images are proofs and have not been processed yet.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes we need a deposit of 50% of the session fee. This is usualy paid at your consult meeting. This reserves your time slot and up to 5 days before the shoot it will be refunded for a cancellation or applied to a rescheduled shoot.
How far in advance do I NEED to book?
Generally we are booked out a month at this time. Just give us a call or fill out the contact form and we can arrange a time. We can however on occasion make a rush appointment for those last minute neccessities.
How far in advance do you book a shoot?
We will book it as far ahead as you wish. It will go in the calendar as soon as a deposit and portrait agreement are signed. If for whatever unforseen event in the future that prevents us from making it the deposit will be applied to a rescheculed shoot.
