Prices Class of 2011 Senior Portraits


General Information           
I offer quality and service at an affordable price. I do not cut corners, ALL of my offerings are of professional grade and I guarantee my work. If you don’t like it, I will replace it or give you your money back.
I spend a lot of time preparing and working to get  images of you that shows your best features and brings out your personality.                  
 I offer a free consultation so that I get to know each individual client and we choose the location of your portraits together. I do not do all my senior portraits at the same location or do the same poses on each person.                  
 I take the time during the photo session to make you feel comfortable. And I give out candy to make you smile if need be…let me know your favorite brand beforehand so I can have some with me!
During the sales session, I project your best images and help you choose the products that best suit your needs. There is no pressure to buy what you do not need or want.
Your finished portraits are then retouched so that blemishes, lines, dark circles and stray hairs disappear, sometimes I even iron wrinkles out of clothes! I polish your image to make it look good but I do not over polish it. Your images will look natural and beautiful.  It usually takes about six weeks from the time you order to receive your finished portraits. I also supply your yearbook image to your school.
My hope is to show you the value of a professional senior portrait with Individualized attention and quality products and services….what is worth to you?                                  


Portrait and Clothing Suggestions

• RELAX
•Everyone should be rested. If you are tired and stressed at your portrait session, it will show! It also helps with your cooperation, and smiling ability!

•Keep your clothing visually simple.
Don’t wear outfits with words or designs, stripes or pictures. You want your face, eyes and expression to command attention, not the words on your shirt.

•Give consideration to color                  Solid colors are recommended for most or all outfits. Darker shades tend to make people look slimmer. Colors such as white, beige, tan, pale peach or pink, or gray, are good for beach scenes. Also, sky blue, pale green, watermelon and dark peach colors complement the outdoor setting. For fall, consider wearing red, gold, deep orange, emerald green and dark green.

Use clothing to accentuate your best features.            You may want to forego short sleeves or spaghetti straps, or sleeveless shirts for men. It make the arms look heavy even if they are not. Round and square faces look good in a square-neck top, while thin faces or pointed chins are attractive with rounded-neck tops.

•Go easy on the jewelry.            Avoid wearing attention-grabbing jewelry. Again, the photograph should accentuate your face, eyes and personality, not draw unwarranted attention to your jewelry. Also, jewelry can date a photograph very quickly. Classic jewelry pieces are best.

•Apply your makeup as you normally wear it.            It’s tempting to get very “glam” when having pictures taken, but this could very well make you look like a stranger in your senior portrait. Apply your makeup as you normally look on a day-to-day basis, but bring your makeup with you and let the photographer know you have it. If the photographer feels you need a touch more blush or eyeshadow, he or she will let you know. Avoid glitter or sparkly anything (powder, eye shadow, blush) – it tends to reflect the flash and leaves white spots. Also avoid too much lip gloss. It can also leave white spots from the flash or make you look like you’re drooling.

•Guys need a fresh shave.
A fresh shave for guys is recommended, and moustaches or beards should be neatly trimmed.

•Don’t worry about blemishes!
Don’t worry about a blemish or bruise. Ask your photographer about retouching options to get the most attractive portrait possible. Keep in mind that digital retouching is expensive, however.

•Make sure your hands are presentable.
Like shoes, hands can show up in some of your favorite poses, so be sure to take the time to make them presentable – Nails should be trimmed and if you wear polish, make sure it is freshly done and a neutral color.
