On Location Photography | Portraits FAQ Page


1. How soon should I book my senior portrait session with On Location?
The sooner the better. Don't wait until the September rush to get your portraits
done. If the fall colors are what you want, the make sure you call to schedule 
your session to avoid missing them. We book up 2-3 weeks out during the fall.

2. When is my yearbook photo due, is it too late to book On Location
Photography for my senior portraits? Most school yearbook photos are due 
the middle of October. However, all schools are different. Check with your yearbook
staff and book early to avoid missing that important deadline.

3. Do I own the rights to my senior portrait images? Yes. By selecting a package
with On Location you get full rights to the images taken during your session.

4. How many images will On Location Photography take? The typical "C" 
package gives enough time for us to capture 100-200 images. You will only see
the best of the best in your proof images. 

5. Who will be the photographer at my Children's, Family or Senior session?
Typically, Owner & lead photographer Jeff Faddis. 

6. Do I need to put on extra make-up for my portrait session? No. Feel free to 
wear what you are comfortable wearing. Nothing special is needed.

7. My session is outside, what happens if it rains? Yes, I have lived in the Northwest
all my life and realize it rains sometimes. Typically when booking, you will receive 2 
session times & dates. This is incase of inclement weather. However we do not typically
cancel a session until a few hours before as overcast days are some of the best to 
photograph on. We do not however photograph in the rain or excessive wind.

8. Where will my session be at? Pretty much anywhere local. It can be in your home
with portable studio equipment or outside at a great local park. I try to limit portrait sessions
 to the King & Snohomish county area for client convenience and scheduling.
 There are many locations that work great and I would be happy to suggest one 
if you need some help picking that perfect location for your portrait session.

9. Are portrait dates booked on a first come first serve basis? No. Avoid saturday's
as On Location Photography is usually booked for weddings, but other then that most days 
are open.

10.Can I purchase more albums and prints from you after the session? Yes. We
would be happy to meet and discuss albums and prints after the session at any
point that you are ready to start that process. 

11. Do I have to get my prints & albums from On Location? No. But we encourage you
to use our expertise and vast selection of output options that we offer. Additionally
images printed at your favorite local lab will not match the exact color of your 
original proof prints due to profiling differences. When we print them, they will 
match your original proof prints for that optimum color and clarity.

12.  What if I don't like my portraits? On Location Photography would be happy to 
set up one additional photographic session to correct any quality issues made by our 
photographers. We do not set up additonal sessions for hair or makeup issues and ask
that you take care in setting up hair and makeup appointments prior to your session. 
For School portraits and quantity corporate images, We would be happy to set up a 
second session at an appropriate time. If an individual wishes a refund from the group at
that point. On location Photography requires a RMA request to be filled out & submitted
along with a signed declaration that the client has not scanned, copied or duplicated in whole or part
any of the images that where delivered after any session within 3 months of the of the original session
date. All Sales are final unless they fall under On Location Photography's strict RMA policy.
