you bring with you is for your own safety. For our own security and safety, one of our
staff members must always be present during the entire session.

personality of your personal pet.

pretty much anything and everything. We say TRY because, honestly there are
assignments we have yet to tackle as long as it is fitting to OUR tastes.

CAN YOU POST OR EMAIL SOME OF THE BEST PHOTOS BEFORE YOU WORK ON
ALL THE REST? (I just really want to see how they turned out before you work on them)
- It is best to wait for all of the photographs to be posted online. The wait difference is at
the most a day or two. For us to stop what we are doing to show you a few, delays the
rest of your photographs being posted. However, we will do our best to provide a sneak-
peak as soon as possible.
WHEN WILL MY PHOTOS BE POSTED ONLINE?
- All of your photographs will be online within 1-3 weeks of being taken and we will e-mail
you a notification when they are up. However, there has been occasions where we have
posted photos within a matter of days.

be posted longer, would like a password protected event, or if you would rather not have
your photos posted at all.
HOW DO I CHOOSE MY PRINTS?
- You can begin choosing prints as soon as the images are online. If you are going to be
ordering large quantities, you may want to keep track of your favorites before you finalize
your order. If you contact us, we may be able to save you the time of having to go back
and enter your large order. We MIGHT consider extending a bulk discount.
- If you have purchased a package that comes with prints and are ordering online, place
your order as usual.
- You may also mail a print order form if you are uncomfortable ordering online.
- Please note that you are not limited to only one image with your package. Except wallets,
they come in quantities of 4 or 8. When you choose a quantity of 8, you receive wallets
cut with rounded edges. Quantities of 8 may also have text printed in the corner. (no extra
charge)

circumstances. We cannot guarantee that we can fulfill your desires, but we will try.
- A larger event can take up to 3-8 weeks.
SINCE DIGITAL IS INSTANT, CAN I HAVE THEM SOONER?

optimized. We take care to give attention to each and every photograph to insure the
highest quality.
- Because we strive to bring you the best in quality, we like to serve our clients with ease.
- We can get it to you at a sooner and guaranteed time, but you would need to request it in
advance but may result in additional fees. (Refer to your signed contract)
ARE YOUR PRINTS PRINTED ON A PHOTO PRINTER?
- For digital prints, primarily we use a professional photo-lab for chemically processed prints
and are edited before going to the lab.
- On the other hand, we have two professional printers, each with the capabilities to print in
large format in a size up to 13x44.
- For SLR prints, they are prepared and printed in a lab off-site.
I WAS NOT ABLE TO SPECIFY EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED WHEN I ORDERED MY
PRINTS. WHAT CAN I DO?
Together, we can make it happen!
I WANT TO MAKE PHOTOCOPIES OF MY PHOTOS. DOES MY PHOTOGRAPHER
REALLY OWN THE COPYRIGHT TO THE PICTURES? DO I STILL HAVE TO PAY THE
PHOTOGRAPHER IF I MAKE COPIES AT A COPY SHOP?
- Yes and Yes. According to federal law, images produced by a professional photographer
are copyrighted the moment they are created. Federal law prohibits copying or
reproducing copyrighted material without permission from the owner of the copyright, i.e.,
the photographer. If you copy or scan your photos, the photographer should be paid just
as if you were buying reprints. If you or your videographer transfers the proofs to
videotape, the photographer should be paid just as if you were buying reprints. If you do
not feel comfortable paying for these copies, find a photographer whose work is so good
that you are glad to pay.
WHEN I GO TO THE LAB WITH MY PHOTO CD, WHAT DO I DO?
- If at all possible do not take your original CD to the lab. Those are your permanent records
of your special event and should be kept at home. Because CDs are so cheap, as soon as
you get your CD you should make copies. When you go to the lab, take a copy.
WHAT IS SENSUAL/BOUDOIR/NUDE PHOTOGRAPHY?
- Sensual/Boudoir/Nude Photography is typically photography that romanticizes and
celebrates the humane form. It is often done as a gift to ones lover or just to see oneself in
the best light.
- Boudoir photography is typically suggestive, romantic and is often shot with the model
nude, semi nude or with implied nudity (but not always).
- Boudoir Photography is usually done in your choice of locations and our crew is prepared
to travel with our location lighting. In almost every case, three crew members are present,
but we are there in a professional capacity only.
- You may chose to have someone with you for your own safety and comfort, but please
note, that each session is priced for one individual only.
(Each additional person is billed separately.)
WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS & WHY SHOULD I
CHOOSE YOU FOR MY PHOTOGRAPHER?
- We are aware that there are plenty of qualified photographers throughout the State of
Colorado, but our goals are completely different. We aim to provide more than just a
quality product, but try to put ourselves in the client’s position when paying for a service.
As a client/consumer, we ALWAYS expect quality detailed work and to get our money’s
worth for anything we pay for. As a client, we expect honesty and reliability. And as a
business, we promise our clients our best service each and every time. Not only are we
committed to our work and clients - we aim to give our clients what we would pay for
ourselves. (We appreciate both and work hard to satisfy our clients.)
- We provide both the pros and cons of Digital and Still Lens photography and supply
detailed information of our services.

each, whether it is photojournalism, candid shots or posed.

paid product and our services.

additional hourly rates. Additionally, we offer a ceremony video and brief but detailed
highlights of the full event.

GO TO THE RECEPTION?
- We arrive approx. 2 hours prior to the wedding and will be there throughout the reception
or until the bride and groom leave. We do not charge hourly rates on the wedding day.
However, you must inform us if the wedding and the reception are at two locations and if
so, the exact distance and location of each.
(We do charge additional fees if the travel time to any one location, exceeds one hour
traveling time.)
HOW FAR ARE YOU WILLING TO TRAVEL?
- We will travel anywhere to a paid event. However, anything outside the Denver Metro
may result in traveling fees.
DO YOU SHOOT FILM OR DIGITAL?

all can be placed on CD if you choose to purchase your negatives.

low-resolution CD with all the images in a slide-show format.

for any situation.

may consist of the following:

that are listed in our brochure are based on past events and clients needs, but we are aware
that each client has their own ideas when it pertains to desired photographs.

clients and we will not re-write their comments. However, our complete portfolio consists
of all references and detailed information.

DO YOU HAVE LIABILITY INSURANCE?
WHAT IF WE HAVE FAMILY AND FRIENDS AT OUR EVENT TAKING PICTURES AT
OUR EVENT? WILL THAT CREATE A PROBLEM?
- We do not have a problem with family members taking photographs as long as they do not
interfere with us getting the photographs that you deserve. Remember, you have paid a
photographer to capture all those special moments.
I NEED WEDDING PICTURES. DO I NEED TO MAKE A LIST FOR YOU TO FOLLOW
OF THE PICTURES THAT I WANT SHOT?
- We have a detailed checklist posted here in section four (4).
- If you wish to add additional photographs, we are happy to build a file to make sure all
your desires are met. It's important to us to learn what is important to you.

spend the time to get the pictures they truly desire.
