Requirements
At an event I need a large area to set up my equipment to take portraits. This area needs to be large enough to accommodate the number of people to be included in a single portrait, generally about eight. Exceptions can be made for a limited number of photos of a larger group. Any nice area in the house or garden or park close by can be used as a set. It is very important to pre-determine which areas will be used during your function.
The time used for setting up equipment is not included in the time frame requested by the client, for example if it takes me 30 minutes to set up and 30 minutes to pack up the client is not been charged for that time. The clock starts when I start taking photos.
Every event is different and I will do all I can do to work out the best possible arrangements to make it all go smoothly. My goal is make it fun for everyone and to give them a souvenir they will always remember and cherish. I do need a certain amount of control over the portrait process in order for me to do my part right and efficiently. Thanks for understanding.
