Do you offer Black and White Photography?
Yes, we offer Black and White, Sepia and color tints. Example: flowers in color and the rest of the photo in black and white. We do all this at no additional charge.

Can I have an outfit change?
You may bring as many changes of clothes as you wish. We suggest no more then 3, but it is up to you if you wish to bring more. Please let us know if you plan on bring more then 3 changes of clothes so we can schedule you more time for your session. We suggest similar colors when shooting a family or couple portrait. Black and Khaki, is great and so is Jeans and a plain shirt or similar colors of shirts. We suggest staying away from white, as it does not turn out the best. All the white colors seem to blend together to create a white blob. Please call us if you need further assistance with what to wear.

I want to get more copies of my photos. Can I copy them myself or does the photographer really own the copyrights still, even though I have the photos?
According to Federal Law, images produced by a professional (photographer, artist, writer, etc.) are copyrighted the moment they are created. The Untied States Federal Law prohibits copying or reproducing any material without permission from the owner of the copyright. In this case the photographer. Most photographers will also have a stamp or writing of some sort on the backs of the photographs stating their name and/or DO NOT COPY. We personally have made our reprints and enlargements prices affordable enough for the average person to get professional photos taken. Without feeling like breaking the law is the only way their friends and loved ones will be able to receive a photograph. If you are a wedding client, we release all copyrights for the photographs to you. Therefore, you may reprint your photographs as much as you like. You own the copyrights to the photographs.
For all Wedding DVD is you wish to order additional copies you will need to go through our company. A copyright release is not available for Video. Additional copies are $15.00.

What happens if we are late for our photos or video on our wedding?
We can shoot up to 4 wedding in one day. We try not to schedule any weddings to close to each other to make room for any problems that may occur. We are yours for the duration of the time you hired us, but we do leave an hour or two of lead way time between weddings, (if we book more then one wedding on the same day.) If you run over the time that was paid for that is usually okay with our schedule. But please take into consideration the $50.00 fee for every 1/2 hour that exceeds the total time paid. If you go into overtime it will be due when you receive your wedding images.
