Guide

 


Making your appointment

Before scheduling your appointment, you will need to decide what session you are interested in.  Our photo sessions typically start at 10:00 a.m., Monday thru Friday unless an earlier time is requested.  Evening  appointments are also available.  Once you schedule your session, we will need to receive the session fee to confirm your appointment.  We accept cash, personal checks, money orders and credit cards.

How Does This Whole Procedure Work?

Once you have been photographed, you will be scheduled for a return visit  to view your previews.  Print enhancements such as Black and White, Sepia tone and Vignettes will be included with your previews. We will assist you in selecting poses, framing and packages.  When placing your order, a 50% deposit is required.  Your order will take between 6 and 8 weeks to be completed.  You will be notified when your order is ready.  When picking up your completed order, your remaining balance will be due.  The studio is not responsible for orders that are not picked up within 30 days.

Regardless of what session you select we will work to capture your personality and create a very special portrait that will long be remembered.

Any session you may bring your favorite music to listen to during the session.  Parents are always welcome to come along.

GETTING READY

Arrive on time, with most of your makeup done and hair styled so all you need to do is touch it up.  A blemish should not be reason enough to cancel an appointment.  Foundation and powder together work miracles on covering blemishes, boys included.  Powder is a must for an oily complexion.  Ladies, bring the makeup you feel you will need for touch ups.  We can provide your makeup application,  please request this in advance and we will allow additional time before your scheduled session.  An additional fee will apply for this service.

What should I wear?

As a general rule, solid colors are always best. Solids create a classic and timeless look that will endure through the years.  Patterns draw attention to clothing rather than faces.  Dark earthly tones such as dark green, navy blue, charcoal, dark brown or black photograph much better than bright or light colors.  Sleeveless is not recommended for anyone.  A suit or sport coat is suggested for men with a shirt and tie that complements the suit.  Often shoes will show in full length poses so they should compliment your clothing and changes may be necessary.  Many prefer the barefoot poses too.  We have a  room where we use  window light and everything goes in here from casual to formal including shorts, khakis, jeans, leather jackets and hats.
Also, remember to wear your High School Class Ring.

Professional Suggestions:

·      Too much sun darkens your skin unnaturally.  Strap marks will show as white marks on bare shoulder poses.  These corrections require corrective artwork at an additional expense.  Sunburn is a real problem – reschedule your appointment if burned.

·      Be sure your hair is styled the way you normally wear and like it.

·      A fresh shave is a must for guys.  If you have a mustache or beard, make sure it's neatly trimmed.

·      If you wear glasses most of the time, you'll want to wear them in your portraits.  To eliminate glare or reflections, call your optician and arrange to borrow a pair of empty frames like yours, or have the lenses removed from your glasses.

·      Please review our “Do’s and Don’t’s CD-ROM for additional information and suggestions.  Call the studio for a copy.
