Why - Professional Photographers

Why a professional?

Would you hire a non-professional mechanic to work on the car that you drive daily? Or would you hire a non-professional roofer to work on your house?

Weather you would like a framed portrait of your family to hang on your wall, to put it on your desk in the office. Babies and children grow up quicker than you might think. Professional Photographers capture those precious memories in time for you to send to send to all your friends and relatives.

Professional photographers are very important as for an example; if are needing a professional looking head shot for your new job, resume, website, newsletter, advertisement, etc. a professional photographer plays a great roll by creating a portrait that shows off your professional style and look. Remember in business first impressions are a must.

Sometimes professional photographers can be over looked. Ex. “I should just have uncle John Doe take pictures at my wedding” WRONG! You should never allow a non-professional photograph one of the most important days in your life. Why? Because they could potentially, miss that perfect shot, not be on time, something with their camera goes terribly wrong, shots are out of focus and blurry.

Professional photographers provide quality and piece of mind.

Guide your JfanPhoto High School Senior Photos Saint Petersburg

A guide to making your senior session fun and your senior portraits Awesome!



~ How to look your best! ~

Portraits are best when the viewer's eye is drawn to your face. Unless you choose your clothing carefully, it's possible for the viewers eye to be diverted to the clothing.



~ Close-Up Portraits ~

For your yearbook picture or other head-and-shoulders or close-up poses, dress in something very simple both in color and style. Boys can choose a suit, sport coat or sweater. For girls, a plain dress, sweater or blouse with a simple neckline is best. Both boys and girls should wear long sleeves to keep the eye from being drawn to the flesh of the arms.



~ Clothing Color & Style Make the Difference! ~

Proper clothing allows the face to dominate the portrait, with all other elements being secondary. Against a medium or dark background, colors that photograph best for the yearbook portrait and other close-up poses are medium to dark tones of green, brown, rust, wine, or blue. Darker shades are more slimming.



~ Informal poses and special styles tell the world who you are! ~

Informal portraits invite much more variety in clothing color and style. Girls can choose a favorite sports outfit, dress, prom dress, shorts, jeans outfit--the clothes you really enjoy. Possible choices for boys include a suit, jeans outfits, a casual or sports outfit, or a school or other jacket. Bring extra outfits, and we'll help you choose!

-Black or dark colors are a good choice for black and white portraits or for a dramatic look.



~ Express yourself and your world! ~

If you have a hobby, then bring it along! Musical instruments, art supplies, theatrical garb, cheer leading or athletic uniforms, bad uniforms, stuffed animals, skateboards, pets, girlfriends, boyfriends, and buddies have a portrait to remember!



~ Enjoy...the fun of an Outdoor Session ~

Bring a casual outfit that will blend with natural outdoor settings. Earth tones are and excellent choice. Also remember that simple styles photograph best.


If you have an outdoor hobby or interest--backpacking or jogging for example--bring your gear. We'll also be happy to photograph you with your car, bike, or motorcycle.


~ Planning for your session ~



Hair
Don't try a new hairstyle just for your session, and have your hair cut around a week before your session is scheduled.

Skin Problems

Don't worry if you develop a skin problem. Our finished portraits can be fully retouched to eliminate blemishes and soften harsh lines.



Glasses
Problems with glasses can lead to extra retouching charges. We can remove normal glare on glasses, but tinted lenses cannot be lightened--even with artwork. If your glasses are tinted or exceptionally thick, they can distort the way the camera photographs the eye. In this case, you should ask your optometrist for a pair of empty frames to wear for your portrait session. If you have any questions regarding your glasses or extra retouching charges on glasses, please contact us.



Tanning
Removing tan or sunburn lines will incur additional retouching charges.



For Girls...
Makeup can affect the way your portrait looks. Both fresh, natural makeup or "evening" makeup photograph well. Call 727.459.4594 if you have any questions.



For Guys...
A fresh shave is a must! If you have a beard or mustache, make sure that is trimmed to your liking.



~ Q&A's ~



What time should I arrive for my portrait session?
Arrive about 10 minutes early. You'll be more relaxed, and your session can be completed on schedule.



What will my session be like?
In a word... FUN! You might be a little nervous at first, but not for long. Our friendly atmosphere will have you relaxed in no time!



Can I bring a friend to watch?
Of course. If it will help you feel more relaxed, bring a friend or parent along.



When do I decide what portraits I want to order?
After you have seen your portraits in our complementary projection. You may then place your order. Please have all decision makers present at this time.



What id my parents and I like different poses?
No problem! We create plenty of poses to please both you and your parents. You can order from as many poses as you wish.



Can I order additional portraits later?
Certainly. But be sure to order plenty of wallets with your initial order to avoid reorder charges.
