My Style>
For truly
candid and sincere photographs I believe that a documentary style of photography is essential. For this reason,
sessions are quite relaxed. In the truest sense I am more an
observer than the photographer. I may provide
some direction and will certainly interact with children during the session, but I prefer to wait, watch, and
let life unfold naturally.
Photo Session>
We
will spend 1 to 3 hours together in a location of your choice. This allows
for an unhurried approach and creates an atmosphere in which you can relax
and just be yourself. (The remainder of your session fee is due at this time.)
Clothing>
As a general rule,
black, khaki, denim, linen, polos, turtlenecks and V-necks
photograph well. But most importantly, you want to be comfortable, so wear
what makes you feel that way.
Regarding children, characters and slogans on clothing is undesirable, as they can be a distraction. Also, avoid large or bold patterns and bright colors.
The overriding principle here is, as with many things in life, simple is best.
Preview Session>
Within
approximately 2 weeks of your photo session a set of
25-35
images will
be provided in a private web gallery, which you can access from the
client login page. The gallery will remain online for 2 weeks. We will set
up a convenient time when we can view your print previews together and decide
which photographs you would would like to own, and consider other creative options.
50% of print fees are
due when orders are placed, with the remainder due upon delivery.
Your Prints>
Print orders
normally take 2-3 weeks to fill. As soon as they are completed you will be
contacted and we will set up a convenient time for me to deliver them to you.
