Information On Senior Portraits!
Your high school senior only graduates once from high school. I offer an amazing high school senior experience.
Ask yourself these questions:
- Doesn’t your child deserve better than “good enough”? Ill give you the best!
- Do you want the most to choose from? I deliver more photos than any other professional studio photographer. If you get a package that offers high resolution digital files in the package? Its nothing for me to deliver 200-300 images to keep that are print ready. I tweak every single file and make it look beautiful!
- Do you want the absolute best lighting? ( I shoot with lighting on every shoot. I am not a "natural light shooter" "Natural light shooter" = Photographers that don't know how to light.
- Do you want the absolute best color in your portraits? I will give you that. That is the number one comment that I hear. "The color is amazing!" I don't do the "brownish red" images that will be a fad today on Instagram but will be outdated next month. Kind of like the "fish lips" everyone was doing for a while. You'll hate it later.
- Do want something to hold in your hands? A printed print that is mounted and sprayed to protect it ? I can give that to you. (Those cheap labs? Their prints will fade very quickly. They are not made with the highest quality.
- Do you want your senior portraits to have awesome backgrounds and posing that other photographers don't do? I will give that to you.
- Do you want something different than standing in a grass field or the same alley door? Ill tell you what. Ill put as much effort in it as you do. If you're lazy, late and have all your clothes rolled up in a wrinkly wad? Ill put that much effort in it. If you do put effort in the experience? You'll get my 110% top notch images.
- If you are a miserable complaining hard to get along with person? I'm probably not your man. Life is too short.
The Difference
Any printed photograph you purchase are what we refer to as final prints are mounted to a hard board, with a sprayed protective coating and professionally retouched. This includes whitening of teeth and any redness in the eyes will be gone along with any blemish such as scratches and insect bites, tan lines, red areas that are just not supposed to be there. This is included in the price of print. The nice thing about this is they will look exactly like they are only better. Some photographers run an action/ filter that just masks the portrait problems. They do it globally and the portrait looks like a porcelain doll. This looks horrible and they do it because its fast and cheap and frankly they either don't want to spend the proper time retouching the image properly or frankly don't care. "Good enough" They are hoping you don't know the difference. Here is a photo that shows the difference between our image presentation for delivery.
I never want to be a "good enough" photographer.
