1) What kind of equipment do you use?
I use Nikon products.

2) Do you travel, and if so, what does it cost?
Travel within the Twin Cities metro area is included in the package price. However, if you are more than 60 miles away I request that you pay for mileage (0.44 per mile). If the event is far enough where an overnight stay is required we ask that you provide a hotel room as well.

3) What locations do you normally choose?
All locations. Whether it is the Como Park Conservatory or the Sculpture Garden, or the lake, or your house. You can choose or I will.

4) What to wear for the location shots?
I prefer that you bring a few options. If you are wanting a specific print item, then please also bring a solid, to vary the pictures. I also prefer bright colors as well as dark colors. If it is a group picture, I would suggest wearing clothes that may go together well.

5) What can I expect from the photo shoot?
An open atmosphere. I do not prefer poses, but we could try it. I do prefer an easy going photo shoot, so that I can capture everyone involved, as they are naturally. If we are working with children, it would be easier for everyone if the children are not requested to smile. I will get them to smile as we commence the shoot.

6) How much is printing?
I will provide you with the options for printing.

7) Do black and white, sepia and selective coloring enhancements cost extra?
No, all digital enhancements are included in the package price. Corrective editing is also included in the package price.

8) What happens after the session?
Within 3 weeks from your session you will be able to view 30 - 40 portraits in a private online gallery. The online gallery will expire after ten days - no exceptions. If you need to extend the viewing time the gallery can be re-published for an additional fee. Prints are purchased a la carte, unless we discuss about me providing the prints for you.

9) Do you do maternity and newborn sessions?
Yes. I would suggest doing the pregnancy shoot at 3, 6, and closer to the due date. The total cost would be $225. Newborn sessions can also be done in sequences, birth (within the first 2 weeks), 3 and 6 month and the cost would also be $225.

10) Do you do Senior Portraits?
Yes. The charge would be the same as the on location shoot (prints, again, will be extra).

Any other questions, please contact me.
