Premiere Photographer

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. I love working with families, meeting new people and capturing gorgeous memories that last a lifetime.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. Many clients ask me what to wear. My advice for newborns and infants is that bare skin provides some breath taking images. For older infants and children bold solid colors photograph well. Try to eliminate logos or overly busy patterns that can distract from your child. Hats, boots, scarves and the like can add a fun element to the image. You're welcome to bring a change of outfits. There are no limits to clothing changes, but realize many children get fussy after two, so try to limit the changes to no more then three. Jeans, overalls, sundresses, khaki's and bare feet are all preferable. Complimentary colors work best for family or group shots. It’s easy to give advice to the seniors–I tell them to wear something that defines them, something they love, something they’re comfortable in. Children, on the other hand, can be more challenging, especially when there are multiple children involved. In my opinion it is much more interesting if the children are not wearing the same outfit or matchy-matchy outfits. Check out Lola & Me's 'What to Wear' blog for up-to-date dress ideas:

Once you book a session we will have a consultation to discuss what your expectations might be regarding the shoot. I like to get an idea of what you have in mind, what occasion you might be shooting for, clothing selections, etc. If you're not sure, that's fine...I have plenty of ideas and will create a mix of original styles that I feel suit the subject and surroundings.

*Event booking and pricing is customized to your specific needs. A consultation will be provided to determine your needs. Please contact the studio for more information.

PROOFS:

Proofs will be available approximately 10-14 days after your session. A link to an executable slideshow will be e-mailed for you to choose your prints and to share with family and friends. You will also be given a password to access your proofing gallery. Orders can be made through the gallery. Your slideshow and your gallery will expire after 7 days. Orders must be made and paid for prior to the 7 days in order to receive any discount currently being offered (SEE: NEWS section). If a longer time period is necessary for ordering, this should be discussed prior to your session. There is a $25 fee to republish your gallery. Slideshows without image numbers on them that do not expire may be purchased for $150. Payment must be collected before the order is processed. Allow 2-3 weeks for delivery once your order is complete.

Please keep in mind that monitors and monitor settings vary and what you see on your monitor could differ from the actual print images.
