How to Avoid 11 Huge Mistakes

We strive to make the purchase of a Senior Portrait Package easy. As you may have already discovered, not all photographers make figuring out what you are going to pay an easy task. We do.

It’s simple: Choose one of our Senior Portrait Packages, and everything is included in the price. If you want more photos later, move up to the next package, or buy additional photos separately, whichever suits your needs.

Are there any extra charges? Yes, but only if you want something extra, such as special retouching to remove braces or a tattoo (normal light retouching of blemishes is included in our packages). Please note that your proofs are not retouched. This is done for the final prints. We also have a modest additional fee for shooting your Senior Portrait at a location other than our studio...but it is worth it for the person that wants a special location.

For most people it is simply a matter of choosing a package that suits them. No surprises, no need to add up all the pieces parts, no hidden fees. Call 970-330-910 to set up your appointment today. We also suggest that you take a look at the Portrait Advice Page for useful tips.

Framing

Matting and framing is available for portraits of all size. Because matting and framing are custom services, please enquire about prices. We can obtain just the right mat and frame to meet your needs.

Heavier Retouching

Normal, light, retouching of blemishes is included in our package prices for final prints (not proofs). Yet, you want to be remembered in the best possible light. You may just want stray hairs removed or glare in your glasses eliminated. What if you want to have your braces removed? What if that tattoo or piercing is not something you want in the photos for your grandparents or for the yearbook?

Yep, we can take care of most anything, for an additional charge per pose. Well worth the price for immortality.

 

Moderate Retouching, such as glare in glasses, stray hairs, whitening of teeth and softening of tan lines can be done for an additional charge of $25 per pose.

Heavy Retouching, such as removal of a tattoo, removal of small scars and removal of piercings can be accomplished for an additional charge of $50 per pose. (Please note that we can include moderate retouching needs as a part of this charge.)

 

So, How Long Does it Take?

Your proofs should be ready for viewing about one week after your photo session. Please note that your proofs are not retouched. Your final photos will include normal (blemish) retouching as well as any additional retouching you choose.

Once you have chosen your poses, it takes approximately another three weeks for your final prints.


We cannot always guarantee a minimum number of proofs due to factors such as blinking, technical problems, unattractive facial expressions, etc. We simply will not show you photos that you, and we, cannot be proud of.
