Before your shoot

Session questions, answered

I feel awkward in front of cameras. Will you direct me?

Completely. Nobody is expected to know how to angle their shoulders or relax their jaw. We guide every small adjustment, keep the conversation easy and review frames with you on the tethered monitor, so the awkwardness is gone within ten minutes.

What should I wear, and can I bring more than one outfit?

Once you book, you receive our wardrobe guide on necklines, mid-tone textures and patterns to avoid, such as tight micro-stripes that cause moiré. Bring three or four favourites on hangers; the dressing room has a steamer and we choose the strongest looks together under studio light.

What if rain is forecast for an outdoor shoot?

Soft overcast light is flattering, so grey skies alone are no problem. If rain, strong wind or extreme temperatures are forecast, we decide together 24 hours ahead and move to your reserved weather-backup window at no charge.

Do I get high-resolution, unwatermarked files?

Yes. Every package includes high-resolution, unwatermarked masters ready to download and print: six hand-retouched finals on the Studio Executive Portrait and 25+ on a personal brand shoot. Extra retouched frames and framed prints are optional add-ons.

How heavily do you retouch portraits?

Our rule is simple: remove what would not be there in two weeks (a passing blemish, stray lint, glare, tired eyes from travel) and keep what makes you you (skin texture, freckles, laugh lines, true eye colour). Note any preference when you pick your selects.

How does commercial usage licensing work?

Personal brand sessions include perpetual digital use on your own website, social channels, press and email marketing. For paid ads, packaging runs or costs shared between several companies, we itemise the licence in plain English in your estimate.

How quickly will I receive proofs and finals?

For studio portrait and personal brand sessions, your private proofing gallery arrives within 3 business days and hand-retouched finals follow within 5 business days of your selection, with a 48-hour rush for press deadlines. Intimate event galleries take 10 to 14 days.

Can you bring studio lighting to our office for team portraits?

Yes. For teams of five or more in Detroit, we bring portable strobes, backdrops and a tethered proofing laptop to a room of at least 12x15 feet, so each person is away from their desk for under fifteen minutes.

Do you offer payment plans?

We offer flexible payment schedules on weddings and larger packages, with a retainer to hold your date. Ask through the Contact page and Marcus will come back with a clear plan, not fine print.
