Questions & Answers
HOW DO I BOOK A SHOOT?
Use the contact form through this website or direct message me on Instagram. I will respond to your inquiry within 24hrs and provide you with my cell phone number. If you have not seen my email come through, please check your SPAM folder!
DO YOU REQUIRE MODEL RELEASE FORMS?
Yes. I require Model Release forms for any adult or minor being photographed, and it is non-negotiable. Posting images from my photoshoot sessions is a valuable tool and asset for my business. It allows me to remain relative and up-to-date on all my business related social media accounts and website. It's also important for any advertising or marketing campaigns I am looking to produce for potential clientele. However, as a courtesy and protection to my client's privacy, I DO NOT TAG my clients in my social media postings unless asked to do so. I also DO NOT POST any minor information such as their name, age, or location of their photoshoot. As for adults, I will use their FIRST NAME only when posting an image, such as: "Had a great session with Blake today!".
DO YOU SEND PROOFS FOR CLIENT SELECTION?
Yes, but I only edit a small quantity per session type, which keeps my turnaround time to a minimum. I work a full-time job in addition to my photography business, so I keep my pricing structure lower, in order to focus on artistic value and edit each image uniquely, rather than batch edit high quantities. DRAMATIC PORTRAITURE, ACTORS & MODELS, KID PORTRAITURE, SWEETHEARTS, or MATERNITY sessions can expect 15-20 images uploaded to their gallery for selection. THE GRADUATE session will range from 20-30 images for selection.
IS THERE A DEPOSIT?
Yes. A $50 deposit is due when booking your session. The remaining balance is due 24hrs prior to the session date.
WHAT PAYMENT METHODS DO YOU ACCEPT?
I accept all major credit cards online. I can also accept cash or checks.
CAN I PURCHASE ADDITIONAL DIGITAL COPIES?
Yes. Clients can select their favorites, and if they'd like to purchase more beyond their package allotment, the fee is $15 per additional full-sized, high resolution digital image.
WHEN WILL MY IMAGES BE READY FOR VIEWING?
I will email you with a link to your online gallery within 14 days of your session date.
WHAT TYPES OF PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES DO YOU PROVIDE?
My niche is mostly dramatic & story driven, which aligns well for dramatic portraiture and those seeking acting portfolios. But this approach also extends to the kids, graduates, moms-to-be or sweethearts I work with, whether in studio or outdoors.
I also have experience with corporate headshots, not showcased on this website. If you are looking for employee headshots, please contact me to discuss pricing and further details.
I do NOT provide the following: Weddings, Corporate functions/events, Schools, Real Estate, and Business Groups.
ARE THERE ANY PRINTS INCLUDED WITH PACKAGES?
No, prints are an additional charge if ordered through PickleBro Portraits. Clients may print from anywhere they choose, and are not required to print from PBP. Please keep in mind, however, that color grading and quality of images are greatly diminished when using local department-store photo labs. Therefore, print quality is only guaranteed when ordered directly through PBP. On occasion, prints may be offered as a complimentary add-on bonus. If this applies, the details will be clearly outlined in client's contract and invoice.
