FAQs About Our Family Portraits Studio

Below are frequently asked questions that we’ve answered to help you on your artwork creation journey.

What should we wear? Clothing should be formal in nature. Dark, solid and jewel toned colors are best for your artwork. As you are making your selections, keep in mind that traditional styles have a more timeless look than the trendier fashions. It is appropriate and recommended that men and boys choose jackets and women choose dresses or gowns.  Women's dresses should have sleeves to draw the attention to the face instead of the arms. All members of the family should be in similar tones and colors.  This creates cohesiveness in the portrait. Jewelry - Choose timeless piece such as diamond stud earrings or a pearl necklace.

What else do we need to do to prepare? Have well manicured hands - Check for chipped and non-matching fingernail and toenail polish. Hairstyle - Have hair cut or trimmed a week or more in advance. Don't try a new hairstyle or color, as it takes you time to get accustomed to a new look. Keep hair accessories classic and small as to not draw attention away from the face. A good choice for young girls is a satin ribbon or headband. Makeup - If you wear makeup, apply normally, paying special attention to your eyes, as they are the most important part of your portraits. Avoid brilliant colors on your eyes, lips and cheeks. Personalize - Consider bringing your child's musical instrument, ballet costume or equestrian uniform.  Please discuss your ideas prior to your session.

How long is our appointment and when should we arrive? Please arrive on time to your portrait appointment. Late arrivals will result in loss of photography time.

Are we allowed to take cell phone pictures during the session? Photos are not permitted to be taken by clients during any part of the portrait session or viewing appointment. We welcome you to take any photos you would like of your family in our lobby.

Where should I hang my artwork?   Many clients enjoy hanging their art piece where it can be seen from the entrance of their home. Others choose to hang it in an area where they will see it most frequently. This can be the family or living room. Most commonly, clients select to hang their artwork in their foyer, dining room or above the fireplace in their living room.

How do I choose my artwork? You will meet with one of our Art Directors virtually via Zoom in a Portrait Selection and Ordering Appointment. This will be a separate appointment from your photography appointment. At your Portrait Selection and Ordering Appointment you will be able to see your portrait proofs virtually at all of the available sizes to help you with your decision making. We recommend that you come to the appointment with images of your home will be helpful in this process. You will be able to make intelligent, informed choices with confidence.

Do you do any framing?  Framing is available for purchase. With this you are ensuring the safe delivery of your artwork, that it is cohesive and correct for the type of artwork, that it is of archival quality and when you frame with us.

Who should attend the selection appointment? If you are married or partnered, both you and your spouse or partner will stay for this appointment. We want you to love your artwork and want to go through this process the best way. You will be making final decisions on the various aesthetic, logistical and financial aspects of having portraits created.

How you will see your images? To help you in your selections, our Art Directors will go through your portraits in the Zoom Application. This will allow you to see your originals in every detail. Then, when your images are narrowed down to your favorites, they can be simulate on a virtual wall to almost any size. You will be able to see your portraits the way they will look when they are finished, in the sizes most appropriate for your home. 

Do you do online galleries or digital images? Online posting of images and proofs to take home are not available. Artwork decisions are made in the Portrait Selection and Ordering Appointment. We will guide you on final decisions on image choices, sizes, quantities, finishing and framing.  

How long will it take to receive my artwork? As your artwork may require various degrees of retouching and painting, mounting and framing, delivery time can vary depending on the finish chosen. Once it is ready, your artwork will be shipped directly to your home.
