- Tell
me how this whole thing works?
Simply put: you set up an
appointment; discuss the locations and any ideas you have with us; show
up on the specified date ready to go; within 2 weeks of the shoot, your
proofs will be uploaded to our photo gallery for your review; you
order; we ship!
- How do I contact you?
Give us a call at 440-915-8175. Or you can mail or email your request
with a
contact number so we can get back to you. Email us at sidelineshotz@yahoo.com,
or drop us a line at P.O. Box 29005, Parma, OH 44129.
- How much will my portraits cost? Do you
charge extra for the portrait session?
We offer four solutions: our main portrait
package, which costs $250; a CD of the enhanced images for $105; a
mega-pack of 50 4x6 prints of your favorite shots for $55; and ala
carte print and gift items at our regular gallery prices. There are NO
extra costs! No session fees; no cost for multiple locations, outfit
changes, or even photo enhancements!
- What about sales tax? And shipping?
Our printing lab is in Texas, therefore, you pay no Ohio sales taxes.
However,
if you purchase a CD of the original digital files, we ship it from
Ohio which in turn requires us to charge local taxes. The only items
incurring extra shipping costs are the ala carte items in our gallery.
- When do you expect payment?
At the first session
location of your choice, we expect the package payment of $250 (cash,
check, or money orders accepted). If you later decide to purchase the
CD or 4x6
mega-pack, you can mail us your payment. Ala Carte gift item purchases
on our gallery
require a credit card at the time of purchase.
- You offer only ONE senior package?
Yes.
But within that one package, you can choose from many different
layouts. You are given a total of 10 units; an 8x10 is 1 unit; 3
separate 5x7s in another unit, an 11x14 print is 2 units, etc. You
customize your order based on your needs. For more info on units, refer
to the top of our senior portraits page.
- Can I purchase the digital files of my
session? Yes! We can
send
you a CD of the enhanced images (copyright released) for $105 (plus
tax).
- How long will my portrait session take?
That all depends on you and your locations. We’ll travel to up to four
different locations of your choice. We like to keep our sessions
between one and three hours.
- Do you have a studio?
No. All our photo sessions are shot outdoors. We can go to your high
school, your home, a favorite park, the beach, you name it.
- What if it rains on our appointed date?
We can certainly
reschedule. However, you may still want to meet and get a few shots
dancing in the rain.
- How many photos do you take?
Approximately 100+. That leaves plenty of room
for creativity. We’ll narrow that down to 30+ of your best shots plus
collages/ enhancements.
- Are collages and enhancements included in
the
package? Yes! We will
create multi-photo collages; some we’ll
turn into black & white prints. We’ll also enhance them by
removing blemishes,
improving exposure and color correctness. All extra images will be
uploaded to our online
gallery along with the enhanced session photos.
- I have picked all ten units, but still need
more photos! What are my options?
You
can order the 50 4x6 mega-pack and save a couple units for other sizes;
you can order separate prints from our online gallery; of course, you
can always pick
up the CD and order your own prints from your favorite one-hour photo.
- I have a few ideas for my portraits. Can I
be creative?
Absolutely! Bring your favorite instrument, your motorcycle, your
shoulder pads! These are
YOUR portraits and YOUR memories. Bring whatever you feel will
portray your style and personality. As long as no people or animals are
hurt in the process…
- Can I bring friends along?
Of course! You can even include them in your photos if you
like.
- How long after the photo session can I
expect to
see the proofs? We
will have all of your images uploaded to our online gallery within two
weeks of the shoot. You then fill out the order form and send it back
to us via mail, or email.
- How long after that will I receive my order?
You can expect a shipment
within approximately one week from the time we receive your order form.
If you
ordered a CD, that
will ship separately from your print/gift order.
- What if I don’t like my proofs?
We want you to be
completely satisfied with your portraits! Therefore, we will meet with
you again for a separate shoot at no charge.
- I like the poses, but have different ideas
for
collages. What can
I do? Give
us a call! We will work with you on collage ideas at no cost. We can
combine images; re-color them; make them
black and white, or sepia… the
sky is the limit!
