Better Portraits

The following tips are important to improving the quality of your portraits!



๏ Bath in the subtle early morning rays of sunrise or the soft glow of sunset…. The perfect times for those exquisitely lit images.

๏ Coordinated Wardrobe - I recommend wearing long sleeves, solid colors and "V" necks for the most flattering images.

Solid color clothes, in cool or neutral shades always look good. Blue and green are cool.

๏ Dark and medium dark colors slim, whites and brights do not.

๏ Neutral colors such as black, white and gray will emphasize the face.

๏ Groups should always dress in similar tones and colors.. this includes the shoes!

๏ Everyone dresses casual or formal.. Mixing these two wardrobes is not recommended!

๏ Separate individual family portraits from a larger family gathering. Each Family is unique and would be better served at a private sitting. This would ensure we cater to your needs and not the group.

๏ Relaxing and enjoying the experience will guarantee a pleasing outcome.

๏ Give some thought to the type of image you would like. Feel free to make suggestions before and/or during your session. After all, It is about you and what you desire.



Portraits Options

Each portrait session is based on a one hour per - Family, Individual or Group sitting at locations selected by the client or myself. Read "Better Portraits" in the previous paragraph to insure the best possible portrait session.



๏ All images from each session should be proofed in person (preferable) or via a secure on line proofing gallery.(On-line proofing quality depends on your computer monitor. If it is not calibrated (most are not) it will not give a true representation of the image)

๏ Price includes one DVD/CD with selected high quality images. (Make duplicates right away! Store the duplicate disks is a safe place)

๏ Print Quality will be determined by your photo vendor of choice. Best quality prints will be achieved through a professional printing lab...
