Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Portrait Photography
Why is Blackburn Portrait Design worth the investment?
What is the big deal about custom portrait photography?
It is a little bit like catching lightning in a bottle. There are just certain moments in your life that deserve to be preserved as heirlooms for not just your home, but for your children and their children. Sometimes your cell phone is just not adequate for such an important task.
We want to provide you with an experience completely unique to you. From planning your clothing choices and the location through the selection of the products for your home, we want your portraits to reflect you.
What is included in the Session Fee?
How much is the Session Fee and how do I retain your services?
Your Session Fee includes a Consultation prior to the session to work out clothing details, location, etc. It also includes the Photographer's time and talent the day of the session, culling and editing the session. You will then come to the Studio to go over your images and decide what you would like to purchase. The Session Fee does NOT include any printed products or digital files--they are purchased separately.
