Portraits
Tell Your Story With Portraits
Portraits, unlike headshots, tell more of a story by capturing a personality, brand, environment, special look, or certain time in your life. Portraits reflect the unique bond and genuine connections between people, and will resonate for generations. They are something to look at, enjoy and treasure to highlight these times in your life.
A wide variety of portraits can be done both in studio and on location. In studio portraits are ideal when you're looking for a simple background in a controlled, indoor environment. On location portraits are perfect when you're looking for an outdoor setting, a specific location, or when you prefer the photographer comes to you.
Most people don't like being in front of a camera and having their picture taken. Don't worry, Troy understands this and is committed to providing you with a comfortable and enjoyable experience so your session is stress-free, easy and fun!
Portrait sessions are scheduled for two (2) hours, but have some flexibility. These sessions include expression and posing coaching, wardrobe changes, and two (2) high resolution retouched image from the session. Images from the session can be viewed and selected for retouching via a private, online proofing gallery. In studio portrait sessions are only $400. Additional high resolution retouched images are available for $100 each.
On location portrait sessions within a 50 mile radius of the studio add a $300 per location, per day fee. This fee accounts for travel, equipment transportation, setup and tear down. On location portrait sessions beyond that distance incur a slightly higher fee based on the additional travel and transportation.
