It depends on your specific needs. There is a separate sitting fee for Studio or On Location. However, if you want to have both there is a discount.
Do you have travel fees for On Location?
No. Anything inside the greater El Paso and Las cruces is considered at no charge. After that it is .66 cents a mile.
Do you offer Senior Class Portraits?
Yes. I am currently looking for a Senior Representitve. If you are intrested please contact me!
Do you offer underclass photography?
Yes. I currently work with Western Hills United Methodist Dayschool. If you are in need of a photographer, please contact me.
How far in advance should I book?
All photo shoots must be booked at least 2 weeks in advance. A 24 hour cancellation is required. If for some reason you can't make it, we can always re-schedule your appointment at no extra charge.
When should I book a session?
All limited Edition prints must be booked as soon as possible. There are only a small number of sessions. Limited Editions will be announced throughout the year.
Maternity shots are best when taken around 34 weeks. Any later and you might just feel uncomfortable.
Newborn sessions should take place between 0 and 6 weeks of age.
Children, families, and Seniors should book 2 weeks in advance.
Christmas Cards are always a hot item. Please think about booking your holiday portraits in October. This way you can be sure to have them ready to mail out by December 1st. Any later appointments are not guaranteed.
What about clothing?
My goal is to create timeless portraits with focus on expression. The clothing you choose is critical for a pleasing portrait with a strong visual statement. Simple garments in solid colors always look best. Avoid patterns, stripes and logos as they are distracting. Avoid bright red and yellow as they affect skin color in the portrait. Avoid colored shirts with a white collar as the white next to the face pulls attention away from the face. I photograph in a clean, simple style, keeping props to a minimum to emphasize the subject. Feel free to bring a few meaningful props you might like to include, as this adds to the sentimental value and personalizes your portrait.
How long does a shoot typically last?
Please plan up to 3 hours for a typical session. Some are less, depending on the subject. For little children, be sure they are well fed, have a clean diaper, and have had a nap. This way they are in a good mood right from the start.
Do you offer Glamour & Boudoir?
Yes I do. However I do not allow full nudity. EVER. So don't ask. For other tips about this subject, please call.
How long does it take before I can see my photos?
For weddings please plan on 4 to 6 weeks. All other portraits plan on about 2 weeks.
How long is my gallery online?
Your album will be ready to view AFTER seeing them at the post-consultation within 24 hours. You then have 30 days to view and place your order.
Can I purchase a DVD of my photo shoot?
Yes, you can. They are complimentary after a certain amount of prints ordered.
What types of payment do you take?
Cash, checks, money orders, and any major credit card are accepted.
