Portraits

Much more than a snapshot in time . . .


 

Family Portraits

 

It is my goal to capture a moment in time that bests represents your family for many years to come.

I will bring a few common backdrops to your location to choose from or we can use your indoor 'natural' surroundings.   Or, we can shoot outdoors at a location of your choosing - if the weather allows.  Wind and temperature are considerations in addition to rain.  Clouds can be a good thing by eliminating harsh lighting contrasts and natural 'squinting' when looking into the sun.

Preparation

It is important to spend time to discuss the options that are available for your personal photoshoot.  Topics for consideration include:

  • Subjects (who is going to be photographed);
  • Purpose (will these be for wall hangings, gifts, general purpose); 
  • Location (will we be shooting inside your home with natural surroundings and/or backdrop - or a location outdoors);
  • Clothing (what clothing will best compliment the family in the shooting environment and background); and
  • Poses (are there any special poses that are wanted)

In general, about 100 shots are taken in varying combinations of poses and of family members - parents with children, children alone, etc.  Your input is welcome - these are your pictures.

Finishing

All images, (up to 16"x24"), are custom printed on archival paper with archival inks.  Cropping, color correction and personal touch-ups are included.  Prints larger than 16"x24" are printed by a third party.  Prints are provided ready for matting and framing.

The outdoor photoshoot fee is $225 for the first two hours and $75 for each hour there after.  Most shoots can be completed in two hours. A travel fee may be charged for photoshoots that are more than 25 miles from Baltimore Maryland.  In-home or office "studio" setups include strobes and backdrops - please add $40 for setup.  For indoor shoots, adequate space for the setup of lights and backdrop(s) must be provided by the client.
