frequently asked questions
Where are you located?
I'm in Evergreen Colorado (near Conifer Colorado) which is located in the foothills of the Rockies above Denver.
Where do you shoot your sessions?
We can hold your session in my studio, outdoors at a location of your choice, or inside at your house. I also offer combo sessions as described below.
What is a combo session?
I am fortunate to have my studio located very close to a beautiful open space park with forests, meadows and a large pond. My combo session starts with a session in the park and then we head into the studio. This is by far my most popular type of session.
How long are your sessions?
My sessions are usually 1 1/2 hours long although they can last anywhere from 1 to 2 hours. Combo sessions tend to run about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. The child usually dictates the length of the session. I do like to spend some time at the beginning of the session getting to know your child and helping him to feel comfortable.
Do you take digital or film portraits?
I do all my work in digital format. This gives me the ability to remove blemishes, cuts, bruises, slobber and nose boogies because, as everyone knows, these things happen.
Can I have my portraits printed in color and black & white?
Yes. Your online gallery will present each image in color and black & white so you can decide in which format you prefer the image. Sepia is available upon request.
How do you do those action pictures?
The action pictures are definitely fun! We set up a dancing area for the dancers or a mattress for the jumpers, play some fun music and start shooting.
Can I pick my backdrop?
Yes, for the studio sessions you can choose from a variety of backdrops. I use only full size studio backdrops so your child can move around and feel comfortable. This allows me to take full length shots as well as head shots. You will need to view our backdrop choices and decide in advance because each one requires a different lighting setup. After you choose a backdrop, I can give you advice on clothing that looks best with the backdrop. You can choose two backdrops for a studio session and one backdrop for a combo session.
How can I review the images from my session?
Within one week of your session, you can review all your images in the "Recent
Sessions" section of this website. Your pictures
will be viewable in detail and they will be password protected so only you can see the pictures. Feel free, however, to
e-mail your friends and family with the password if you want help picking the best images! Your online gallery will be up
for one week.
You can order your prints online using the built-in shopping cart. I accept checks or PayPal.
How long does it take to get the prints?
Please plan on 4 weeks to receive the prints, although it generally only takes 2-3 weeks. Canvases tend to take 3-5 weeks.
