General FAQs

Q: What days are you open?

I typically shoot Tuesday and Thursday, and work in the office on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Of course exceptions can be made but i avoid shooting on weekends when possible in order that I can spend time with my family and children. My schedule is flexible for the most part and I will be happy to accommodate your situation if possible. I usually limit weekends to about 6 a year, 2 of which will always be in November (and book quickly).

Q: How long will the entire process take?

Under normal circumstances you will be able to view your images about 2 weeks after your session. Delivery time of your prints depends on what you order. This could be 3 days to 6 weeks.

Photo Selection and Printing FAQs

Q: How will we see our images?

We will set aside an hour and half to go over your images with you and help you select the ones you like, and then help you decide what to do with them. This will be your viewing appointment and all decision makers need to be present at this meeting. We also recommend that you don't bring small children. This will help you make decisions without being distracted.

Q: Do we get a CD of the images?

Actually, "no". When I ask my clients what they want to do with their images the most common answer, "I don't know", and the CD ends up sitting in a drawer somewhere. We want you to be HAPPY with the final product. We have the expertise and take full responsibility for output of your images, consulting with you all along the way.Technology is amazing and allows us to print all sorts of non-conventional products such as storyboards, metal prints and canvas collections. We deal only with professional print vendors to assure that your final product is truly exceptional.
