<p align="center"> <b>Portrait Prices</b></p>
<p>My price structure for portraits is designed to be simple and straight forward.
It can be broken down into two categories. Print sales and location fees.</p>
<p align="center"><b><u>Print Sales</u></b></p>
<p>All photos are priced according to size.<br>
They are processed at a professional lab within 24 hours of purchase and sent
directly to your home.</p>
<p><b>Individual Prints:</b><br>
4 X 6 = $2.00<br>
5 X 7 = $5.00<br>
4 Wallets = $5.00<br>
8 Wallets = $8.00<br>
8 X 10 = $10.00<br>
10 X 12 = $15.00<br>
11 X 14 = $20.00<br>
16 X 20 = $25.00<br>
16 x 20 Canvas = 125.00<br>
20 x 24 Canvas = 175.00</p>
<p><b>Packages:</b><br>
Value package = $25.00<br>
(1) 4 X 6<br>
(2) 5 X 7<br>
(1) 8 X 10<br>
(8) Wallet Size</p>
<p><b>Digital Files:</b><br>
Hi-resolution digital photos with the print rights can be purchased for $25
each. This allows the client to right to print and distribute the photo. This
does not however give the client the right to resell the photo. </p>
<p align="center"><b><u>Location Fees</u></b></p>
<p>I don't charge per person sitting fees, but I do charge a fee for each location
photos are taken. The local location fee is $100. Local location is defined
as within 30 miles of Hot Springs, Arkansas. The remote location fee is $150.
Remote locations are defined as between 30 and 60 miles of Hot Springs. Remote
locations include Little Rock. The location fee is payable at the time of the
photo shoot. Since the fee is the same regardless of the number of subjects
or amount of time taken, it is recommended that the client arrange to have as
many subjects at the location as possible. You can even host a party with several
families at the same location.</p>
<p> </p>
<p align="center"><b><u>Weddings Packages</u></b></p>
<p>Note: It is my beleif that each client should be able to enjoy all photos taken
during their special day, and that each photo should portray the subject in
their best possible light. Therefore, all wedding packages include a DVD of
all photos taken. Each photo will be hi-resolution, color corrected, and digitally
edited to remove blemishes from each subject. Also included is the printing
rights to each and every photo.</p>

<h1 align="center">FAQs<br>
</h1>
<p><b>Question</b>: Where is your studio?<br>
<b>Short Answer</b>: The world is my studio.<br>
<b>Long Answer</b>: I have spent a considerable amount of time weighing the
pros and cons of setting up a full time studio. After much deliberation, I decided
that I and my clients would be better served by concentrating my efforts on
location shoots. Quite simply, a full time studio requires a great deal of overhead
costs. In addition, I would have the added expense of hiring a full time employee
to man the shop. As with any business, it would then be necessary to pass all
of these expenses onto my clients. I believe that most of my clients would rather
pay less for the finished product than pay more and provide me with a store
front. The reality is that the same high quality professional results can be
achieved at any location with just a little extra effort on my part.</p>
<p><b>Question</b>: If you don't have a permanent studio, where are the photo
sessions held?<br>
<b>Short Answer</b>: Anywhere and everywhere.<br>
<b>Long Answer</b>: It really depends on the type of photos you are looking
for.<br>
For traditional formal portraits, almost any indoor location will work. Most
of my clients prefer the convenience of doing the session at their home. Most
people, especially small children, tend to be more comfortable in familiar surroundings.
This really comes out in the finished portraits. If you dislike the idea of
doing the traditional portraits in your home, or if you don't have the space,
I invite you to come to my home where I have a room set aside just for these
occasions.<br>
For more casual outdoor portraits, we can meet at the location of your choice.
We are lucky enough to live in a region that is filled with beautiful locations
to shoot individual and family portraits.</p>
<p><b>Question</b>: Where are you based and how far will you travel?<br>
<b>Short Answer</b>: I am based in Hot Springs Arkansas. I service Central Arkansas
and Southwest Arkansas. <br>
<b>Long Answer</b>: I live in Hot Springs National Park Arkansas, but I will
gladly shoot portraits within a 30 mile radius for no additional charge. Outside
of that radius there is an additional fee of $50. This is mainly to pay for
my fuel and travel time. Towns within my local range include but are not limited
to: Hot Springs, Hot Springs Village, Arkadelphia, Benton, Bryant, Buckville,
Crystal Springs, Diamondhead, Hempwallace, Jessieville, Lonsdale, Malvern, Mountain
Pine, Pearcy, Owensville, and Royal. There is no additional fee for weddings
located anywhere in Arkansas.<b><br>
</b></p>
<p><b> Question</b>: What kind of equipment do you use?<br>
<b>Short Answer</b>: Top of the line professional equipment.<br>
<b>Long Answer</b>: Okay, let me start by stating that it is not the camera
that makes a quality photograph. It is the photographer. The same results can
be achieved with a 30 year old film camera as can be reached with the new digital
SLR that came out last week. However, for all you gear-heads, all of my cameras
and lenses are made by Nikon. My backdrop support system and tripods are by
Manfrotto. And my studio lights are made by Alien Bee.</p>
<p><b>Question</b>: Film or digital?<br>
<b>Short Answer</b>: All digital.<br>
<b>Long Answer</b>: The debate over which media type, film or digital, is better
has been going on ever since digital cameras came on the market. In my humble
opinion, digital has won. Both formats have their strengths and weaknesses.
However, for the type of shooting that I do, the advantages of using digital
far outweighs it's drawbacks.</p>
<p><b>Question</b>: How long does each session last? <br>
<b>Short Answer</b>: As long as you need.<br>
<b>Long Answer</b>: I put no time restrictions on photo sessions. The time it
takes depends on the location, the number of individuals, and number of posses
you would like of each. Rushed subjects equal poor photos.<br>
If you are looking for a general guide as to the time that will be needed; Outdoor
portrait sessions with perfect natural light and only one subject can be as
quick as a few minutes. Indoor sessions with a backdrop, studio strobes and
several individual and group shots can take as much as a few of hours. I leave
the decision of when to quit up to the client. When you are comfortable with
the number and type of photos taken, the first part of my job is done. I always
schedule ample time for each session.</p>
<p><b>Question</b>: What if I don't like the pictures?<br>
<b>Short Answer</b>: I will re-shoot for no charge.<br>
<b>Long Answer</b>: Sometimes things go wrong. The weather is bad. You are having
a bad hair day. You are sick or just in a bad mood. If for any reason you don't
like your photos, just give me a call or send me an email and we will schedule
another shoot as many times as it takes until you are pleased. I would rather
re-shoot a dozen times than have one unhappy client. If you don't love you photos,
then I haven't done my job.</p>
<p><b>Question</b>: Do you shoot pets?<br>
<b>Short Answer</b>: Only with my camera.<br>
<b>Long Answer</b>: Many people consider their pets to be part of the family.
I love including them in family portraits, and will gladly take a portrait of
your pet alone if you like.</p>
<p><b>Question</b>: Why should I hire you when I could go to "X" studio
and get a package for $9.95?<br>
<b>Short Answer</b>: Quality and convenience.<br>
<b>Long Answer</b>: Budget portrait studios have their place. We have all used
them. In the typical scenario, you get your family dressed up in their Sunday
best. You pack everyone into the car and drive down to their location. You and
your family wait impatiently in line in a cramped little room, pulling on your
shirt collars and listening to crying babies. When your turn comes, an entry
level employee who hates their job does their best job to get one adequate shot
of you while you are not blinking. You pay your sitting fees and leave. Four
to Six weeks later, you get a notice that your pictures are in. You arrive only
to discover that the $9.95 special has transformed into a spread of dozens of
photos of spread out on a table. The psychology behind this is that you will
see all of the work that they have done and that will guilt you into purchasing
the rest of the photos at GREATLY increased prices. They ask you how many "extras"
you need for your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins… You get
the point. Your $9.95 deal is now costing you over $200. And to top it all off,
all of the portraits look the same. The same cheesy backgrounds, the same blank
expressions, and the same look and pose as last year. You've ended up spending
way too much money and left with very average, very common looking pictures.
Many of which you can't even use. Because in order to get the ones you really
wanted, you had to purchase the larger package deals that include sheets of
postage stamp sized pictures that aren't really good for anything. Okay, enough
about the bad guys.<br>
Now let's look at a typical session with me. I show up at your home or the location
that you have chosen. We sit down and I listen to you describe what you are
looking for. You look through my portfolio and chose the style that you like.
Or maybe you would like to choose several different styles. Maybe you have something
completely original in mind. Whatever it is, we work together to make it happen.
You prefer black and white photos with a white background. No problem. You would
like to try some colorful shots with black or different colored backgrounds.
Again, no problem. You need individual photos of your kids, then some with all
the boys, then all the girls. Maybe a group shot or two, or twenty, with everyone,
including the dog. No problem at all. Once you feel that all of the bases have
been covered, we wrap it up. You pay me my inexpensive session fee, and I am
off to process the photos. Within a couple of days (not months, days) you will
receive an email, or call if you prefer, informing you that your proofs are
ready and can be viewed online. You simply go to my website, input the security
code that I provide you, and purchase the ones you want in whatever sizes you
desire. They will be sent right to your door. It's that easy. And all you have
to do is pass on the web address and security code to anyone in your family
that may want to purchase their own. <br>
</p>
<p><b>Question</b>: Can I have the photos printed myself?<br>
<b>Short Answer</b>: Yes, but you have to purchase the printing rights to the
photo.<br>
<b>Long Answer</b>: I prefer to have all of the photos printed by my professional
lab. This ensures that my work is printed with the correct color profile and
quality paper. No professional photographer likes the idea of his carefully
processed photos being shown on cheap paper from a poor lab. But I do realize
that many people like the idea of printing their own. Therefore, clients may
purchase both a web version and a hi-resolution print ready version of each
photo complete with a print release form.</p>
<p><b>Question</b>: Can you take a portrait for use on business cards and signs?<br>
<b>Short Answer</b>: Absolutely.<br>
<b>Long Answer</b>: Just like any of my portrait sessions, you can inexpensively
purchase the rights to reprint each photo as you see fit. In fact, for only
one session fee, I will individually photograph everyone in your office. Each
individual can then view their proofs online and purchase whatever they desire.</p>
