Commonly Asked Questions for Pet Pictures with Jerel
I am interested in your photography services, can you briefly explain how everything works? Pet Pictures is a division of Harris Photography that offers pet portrait sessions in our private studio, in your home, or at a location of your choice. During your Portrait Session, we capture a variety of images such as your pets individually, with yo
u, posed shots, candid shots and more. How do I prepare for my Portrait Session? There are a few things we want you to start thinking about before your Portrait Session to make sure that we create the best portraits possible for you. What is your home decor like? What colors do you have in your home? What room does your family spend the most time in? Where are you thinking of displaying your portraits? It's important that you start thinking about the answers to these questions so the photographer can be sure to pick a background that will not only compliment your pets but also compliment the decor and style of your home. Also, if there are specific areas you would like to display your portraits, we need to know if those spaces would accommodate a vertical, horizontal or square image. What are some of my printing options for my favorite images from my Pet Portrait Session? We offer a variety of printing options including framed portraits, canvas gallery wraps, holiday cards, coffee table albums, photo blankets, photo handbags and more! What is the best value? If you wish to have a simple portrait of your pet, you could do a Basic Session and order a Gift Print item. A Day in the Life Session offers the best value for pet parents looking to create and display a meaningful piece of art featuring their pet(s). This session includes digital images of all images taken during the session and a 20” Gallery Wrap for display. How can I schedule a Portrait Session? You can schedule a Portrait Session by simply calling 850 218-4941 and reserving a date and time. If you need to cancel, do so 48 hours before the Portrait Session. Do you charge a sitting fee? Our portrait experience includes the Portrait Session, the Ordering Session, professional retouching (soften tear stains, stray hairs, blemishes etc.) and storing your images on file for 12 months. Picture Perfect Pets offers a variety of sessions depending on the type of portrait experience you desire. Session Fees are collected at the time that you reserve your Portrait Session. After ordering, how long before I receive my portraits? Allow 3 weeks for signature portraits, personalized greeting cards, photo jewelry and canvas gallery wraps. Custom products such as handbags, woven blankets and coffee table albums vary in creation time from 4-8 weeks. Can I order additional portraits or custom photo products after my Ordering Session? Your images will be saved on file for 12 months from the date of your Portrait Session and any portraits or custom photo products can be ordered within that time. Many clients schedule their Portrait Session in the Spring or Summer months and use those images to order their Holiday Cards in the Winter months. We make gift giving easy for friends and family for the entire year - surprise your spouse, daughter or mom with a photo handbag or sterling silver photo necklace for their next birthday or anniversary celebration! What if my pet won't sit still for portraits? We get this question ALL the time! So let us put your mind at ease. At Picture Perfect Pets, we see all the different personalities - calm, hyper, bored, excited, nervous, anxious, attached - you name it! We even photograph a lot of pets who are blind and/or deaf. We take a different approach to photographing each pet because all pets are different! A squeaky noise might work great to get one dog to sit nicely and tilt her head, while the same squeaky noise might cause another dog to become crazy and obsessed. Jerel, the photographer, has the patience to outlast any personality that may seem impossible to photograph. He promises to not let you leave the studio until he captures the best portraits possible. Although extremely rare, if it were to happen that we didn't capture any portraits during your Portrait Session that you are happy with, we will reshoot your session free of charge or refund your Session Fee. We stand behind our services and our products
100%. Do you offer consultations? Absolutely! If you would like a complimentary consultation to help you prepare for your Portrait Session, just give us a call! A consultation prior to your Portrait Session is a great time for us to talk about clothing, backgrounds and what to expect the day of your Portrait Session. How do I contact Picture Perfect Pets?
