Family Portrait Sessions always take place on-location. Depending on what style of images you like, we may shoot in your home, in a local park, a museum, or a downtown area. Any location that appeals to you, and we are legally allowed to photograph in, is a possible candidate.
Travel to locations within 35 miles of the 21054 zip code is included with your session. Travel beyond that will cost a little extra.
Depending on the context of the image, we will remove some non-permanent blemishes and may slightly soften skin where it looks unnaturally rough. On portraits, we generally do not perform major cosmetic adjustments.
You bet! All of our members who shoot child portraits either have lots of kids in their lives, or have chidren of their own. We believe it’s important to let children take the lead, and we base our sessions around playful interactions as much as possible.
No, we approach Family Portrait Sessions in a natural way, using the environment and your family relationships to create beautiful and interesting images. We do, however, encourage you to bring things from your life that you find sincerely meaningful to use as props.
You can, but it isn’t recommended in most cases. We are also unable to guarantee there will be a suitable place to change clothes.
Standard turn around time for family portraits is 14 business days. Rush delivery is available at an additional cost.
We keep shooting until we feel satisfied that we’ve captured what we are after. Family without small children may take as little as one hour, larger families and families with small children generally take around an hour and a half to two hours.
We make every effort to accommodate changes in schedule, bearing in mind we can only reserve one date at a time per booking, so schedules will be based on current availability at the time of rescheduling.
As far as portrait sessions are concerned, children are people from the ages of 3 to 15 years old. Ages younger than that are considered babies, and ages older than that are considered adults.
Sure, as long as the group totals fewer than 12 people, that’s a great way to spend time with people you care about, and save a little money in the process. It should be noted, however, that we cannot segment the session for each family. The whole group must be present for the session.
You should dress so that you feel physically comfortable, beyond that it only depends on the formality of your session. When it comes to color coordination, we recommend choosing from a pallet of colors, rather than strictly “matching” colors. For example, shades of blue and green, rather than everyone wearing blue jeans with a green shirt.
Our family portrait package includes up to 12 people, and one pet. We can always include additional people with an extra fee.
Our packages are all inclusive, but do not include tax. If you wish to schedule a session outside of our normal service area you will be required to pay for travel. You may also be required to pay for prints, advanced retouching, parking and event or location admissions during the session.
Lets start a conversation. Just provide some basic info real quick and we’ll get back to you asap.
No, Petruzzo Photography does not maintain a studio, which makes coordinating staff pictures much simpler. We serve our corporate and commercial clients directly in their homes and offices and we are able to create headshots in most environments.
Yes. However, it should be noted that depending where your session takes place, there may not be any officially sanctioned location to change clothes.
Yes! If you would like to purchase headshots for your whole team, discounted group rates are available! Or, if you would like to offer conference attendees or clients headshots, talk to use about arranging a custom headshot day. We’ll be happy to help!
The images will be captured in your home, office or outdoors in any stylistically relevant location. We are happy to provide recommendations.
For most professionals, we recommend dressing like you would for a meeting with a client, or the way you would for a meeting with your boss. If possible, avoid jet black and pure white, but not if that means you don’t look like yourself. Definitely accessorize–watches, necklaces, decorative scarves, all add personality and dimension to your portrait.
Standard turn around time is 10 days or less. Where there are deadline constraints, we make every effort to return those images quickly. Guaranteed rush delivery is also available for additional cost.
For individual sessions, you can expect to have around 10-15 images to choose from. For group sessions, it’s typical to have 3-6 different images to choose from.
Your license will allow for unlimited royalty free use of the images. Unless you’ve made special arrangements, the only limitation is against reselling or sub licensing the images.
We will remove non-permanent blemishes during processing, and may slightly soften skin where it appears unrealistically rough. We are able to conduct more in depth adjustments as well for additional cost.
Definitely! We try to deliver a uniqueness to each of our clients and love the opportunity to help fill in your vision!
