What is my consultation and why do I need one?

Your pre-session consultation is the most critical and important part of your Senior Portraits!  You can either come to my home-based business or I will come to your home.  You get to see and touch our printed Artwork, Wall Portraits, Senior Albums, etc.  We sit down and carefully plan out every detail of your Senior Portraits- from hair and makeup to clothing selections and styling to locations…  I will ask you a series of questions that will uncover what your dreams and passions are for your once-in-a-lifetime photo session.

Is retouching included and do you take out acne, blemishes, etc?

Absolutely!  Every one of our images is a complete work of art.  By the time you see it, it has been carefully put through post-production and given Barry’s signature style of retouching.  We do keep your Portraits looking natural, while removing acne and any sweat or blemishes that may have showed up because of hot weather or just a bad week.  We promise that you will oooh and ahhhh, when you see your finished images.
