Frequently Asked Questions
-
Transparency is key in my approach as a portrait photographer in Aurora, CO. I provide clear pricing with no hidden fees—except for a permit or driving fee if your location is outside my standard zone. My clients always know the expected cost upfront, and I never pressure you to purchase products. You choose what works for your family or senior session.
-
I focus on one location per session to maximize quality and efficiency. Each location has multiple beautiful spots that are walk able or a short drive apart. Trying to cover three separate locations in a 1–2 hour session with outfit changes can compromise the session and the final results.
-
Absolutely! Props add depth and personality to your family or senior portraits, giving you something fun to interact with in the photos. Clothing changes are welcome, but I recommend no more than three outfits per session to ensure enough time for capturing every shot beautifully.
-
I prioritize quality over quantity. Each session produces a proof gallery of up to 200 images, and you select only the ones you love. Editing is time-intensive—each image is carefully retouched to perfection. This approach ensures you get standout images rather than dozens of similar photos.
-
I schedule sessions about 1.5 hours before sunset for the best natural lighting. Some locations may be better at sunrise depending on your preferences. Proper lighting is crucial for outdoor family portraits and senior photos, ensuring every image looks vibrant and professional.
-
My calendar is limited to 6–8 sessions per month to maintain quality. For busy seasons like fall sports, I recommend booking as early as June or July to secure your spot and avoid conflicts with weather or schedules.
-
I require half of the session fee at booking and the remaining half at the end of your session. Payments are accepted via cash or check. This ensures a simple, transparent process for all portrait photography services.
-
Yes! Images are sold individually, and each purchased image includes professional retouching and editing. Raw or unedited files are not provided, ensuring your family or senior portraits meet the highest standards of quality.
-
Editing takes time to ensure perfection. On average, 4–5 images are completed per day, so a gallery of 20 images will typically be delivered within 5–7 days, depending on the client queue. This guarantees high-quality, polished portrait photography services without rushing the process.
