Over the course of this summer I have been blessed to be extremely busy doing what I love.  All of my photo shoots have been a blast!  There is nothing more fun than relaxing, smiling and laughing.  These are the things that all of my sessions have in common.  From joking around with high school seniors (I still act like one) to making funny noises at children for that one little smile.  I could not imagine doing anything else.

One thing from this summer is that I have been asked numerous  questions regarding upcoming sessions.   I would like to share these with you and answer them to ease your fears when booking a session with me: 

Q1.  What should we wear to the shoot?

A1. I always tell people to wear "like" colors.   If everyone in a family wears the same color (or shade of it) the pictures look like the family belongs together.    Click here for a great examples: Example #1  Example #2

Q2. What time should we schedule the session for?

A2. The best time of day is early morning hours (5a-7a) or during the evening (6p-8p).  The lighting is perfect to not cast unsightly shadows across faces.  The other positive about these times is that the sun is low enough allowing you to open your eyes and not need to squint, let alone the beautiful colors that are associated with sunrises and sunsets.  This picture was taken at about 8:30pm. 

Q3. What location can we choose for our session? 

A3. As I do not have an indoor studio, I will travel to any location you have in mind for your shoot (mileage cost might be added based on distance).   My home range is Green Bay, Appleton, Manitowoc area. I have found numerous parks and locations in all of these cities that are incredible for session backdrops.  One of my favorite locations was Kimberly High School football field.

Q4. What products do you offer (CD, Prints, Canvas, Metal Prints, Posters, etc.)?

A4. I include with all sessions a photo CD of fully edited images (20-60 images) to be used on Facebook ONLY.  I also have a print release and print packages available for purchase.  If a print package is purchased then I include the print release for free.  I have the ability to make your photos on a variety of media from regular size prints to large poster size, from wrapped canvas to your photo printed on a metal sheet which can hang on a wall.   All of the prints you order from me are processed at a professional photo lab.  This lab is configured to my exact camera and editing software and are guaranteed for color and clarity. 

Those are just a few questions which come up often.  If you have a different question, please dont hesitate to contact me for more info.  Just remember, when booking a photo-shoot with me there is nothing to be afraid of.  My goal is to have a bunch of fun joking around and laughing during our time together.  Those are the moments in life that are priceless, why not capture them!Mann-3467
