Photography FAQs
|
I am interested in your photography services, can you briefly explain how everything works? Sure! Pet'ographique offers portrait sessions in our private studio or at an outdoor location of your choice. Your Portrait Session can include just your pets or the entire family. During your Portrait Session, we capture a variety of images such as your pets individually, with you, posed shots, candid shots and more. Your Ordering Session takes place one week after your Portrait Session. During your Ordering Session, we present all of your best images as a slideshow to music in our theatre room.
How do I prepare for my Portrait Session? There are a few things we want you to start thinking about before your Portrait Session to make sure that we create the best portraits possible for you. What is your home decor like? What colors do you have in your home? What room does your family spend the most time in? Where are you thinking of displaying your portraits? It's important that you start thinking about the answers to these questions so Arica can be sure to pick a background that will not only compliment your pets but also compliment the decor and style of your home. Also, if there are specific areas you would like to display your portraits, we need to know if those spaces would accommodate a vertical, horizontal or square image.
What are some of my printing options for my favorite images from my Pet'ographique Portrait Session? We offer a variety of printing options including framed portraits, canvas gallery wraps, holiday cards, coffee table albums, photo blankets, personal stationary, photo handbags and more! Visit our 'Portrait Pricing' link to see all of the available print sizes and visit our 'Boutique' link to see all of the custom photo products offered by Pet'ographique.
How can I schedule a Portrait Session? You can schedule a Portrait Session by simply calling 702.568.0500 and reserving a date and time. On the day of your Portrait Session you will schedule another appointment to return to Pet'ographique to order your portraits. All Portrait Sessions and Ordering Sessions are by appointment only.
Do you charge a sitting fee? We have a Creation Fee for every portrait experience which includes the Portrait Session, the Ordering Session, professional retouching (soften tear stains, fly aways, stray hairs, blemishes etc.) and storing your images on file for 12 months. Pet'ographique offers a variety of Creation Fees depending on the type of portrait experience you are looking for. Your Creation Fee is collected at the time that you reserve your Portrait Session. See 'Portrait Pricing' for details.
How long is a typical Portrait Session? Every Portrait Session is unique and will vary in length, but plan on being at the studio for about an hour. We will be shooting for about 20 minutes of that time.
How long is a typical Ordering Session? Allow at least an hour to view your portrait options and make purchasing decisions. All decision-makers should be present when selecting portrait sizes and artistic finishes.
After ordering, how long before I receive my portraits? Allow 3 weeks for signature portraits, personalized greeting cards, photo jewelry and canvas gallery wraps. Custom products such as handbags, woven blankets and coffee table albums vary in creation time from 4-8 weeks. See 'Boutique' for details.
If I am going to be in the portraits with my pet, what should I wear? We devoted an entire section on our website to answering this question! See 'What To Wear' for details and examples.
Can I order additional portraits or custom photo products after my Ordering Session? Yes. Your images will be saved on file for 12 months from the date of your Portrait Session and any portraits or custom photo products can be ordered from Pet'ographique within that time. Many clients schedule their Portrait Session in the Spring or Summer months and use those images to order their Holiday Cards in the Winter months. We make gift giving easy for friends and family for the entire year - surprise your spouse, daughter or mom with a photo handbag or sterling silver photo necklace for their next birthday or anniversary celebration!
What if my pet won't sit still for portraits? We get this question ALL the time! So let us put your mind at ease. At Pet'ographique, we see all the different personalities - calm, hyper, bored, excited, nervous, anxious, attached - you name it! We even photograph a lot of pets who are blind and/or deaf. We take a different approach to photographing each pet because all pets are different! A squeaky noise might work great to get one dog to sit nicely and tilt her head, while the same squeaky noise might cause another dog to become crazy and obsessed. Arica, the photographer, has the patience to outlast any personality that may seem impossible to photograph. She promises to not let you leave the studio until she captures the best portraits possible. Although extremely rare, if it were to happen that we didn't capture any portraits during your Portrait Session that you are happy with, we will reshoot your session free of charge or refund your Creation Fee. We stand behind our services and our products 100%.
Do you offer consultations? Absolutely! If you would like a complimentary consultation to help you prepare for your Portrait Session, just give us a call! A consultation prior to your Portrait Session is a great time for us to meet in person and talk about clothing, backgrounds and what to expect the day of your Portrait Session.
