Do I get a CD of all my photos?
You may purchase a CD or DVD for an additional fee. Please keep in mind that these files are not retouched or corrected for contrast or color, and that you'll get better quality digital files and prints if you order them from us. Either way, we’ll permanently archive your digital files to make future ordering easy.
Do you shoot digitally or with film?
What’s film? We use only state-of-the-art (translation: very expensive) digital cameras, lenses, computers, monitors and printers to capture and enhance your images. Enlargements up to 16 x 20 inches from these digital files are indistinguishable from those printed from negatives. There are several additional advantages to digital photography:
- No surprises. Because the images can be viewed immediately, we can make any changes to hair, makeup or lighting on the spot, thereby avoiding surprises when you receive your proofs.
- Proofs via e-mail. This eliminates an additional trip to the studio to pick up your proofs and enables you to make your selection(s) while viewing your photos at full screen size on your own computer. These digital proofs can easily be forwarded to others for viewing.
- Digital retouching. 15 minutes of retouching (removing stray hairs and blemishes) is included in your sitting fee. More extensive retouching is available for an additional fee.
- Fast turnaround. We can e-mail your proofs to you the next business day. After you make your selection(s) we need 3 business days for digital files and 5 days for prints. If you’re on a tight deadline, no problem. Just let us know ahead of time, and we can provide rush service for an additional fee.
- Archival storage. Your digital images are permanently archived, so that, unlike film, they are invulnerable to dust, scratches, humidity and fading. Should you need to order copies in the future, simply e-mail us with the file number, and we’ll promptly retrieve your files and complete your order.
- Actors and Musicians: If you need prints in quantity, we will be happy to provide this service for an additional fee. Pricing available on request. Or, we can refer you to photo labs that handle this.
Thank you for trusting us with your business. We know you have many choices when it comes to professional photography, and we’ll make every attempt to exceed your expectations.
We look forward to working with you.
