Scheduling a Session
Portrait Playtime typically schedules photo sessions at least seven days in advance. Occasionally our schedule can accommodate a more immediate request. We will reschedule newborn photo shoots if our staff has a cold or other illness. If you or your child is sick, we will also work with you to reschedule your shoot, and there is no penalty for rescheduling due to illness or other medical emergency. Rescheduling for other reasons with less than 72 hours notice will cause you to incur an additional charge of $75.

In general, I believe my main job as a professional photographer is to provide my customer with timeless artwork. The printing process is as big a part of creating that artwork as the photo session itself. So in general I urge people to allow me to see the process all the way through – up to and including the printing. I use a professional lab and know how their printers work. I get the prints myself and can make sure that they are exactly as they should be before I deliver them to the customer. This is the only way that I can guarantee the customer’s satisfaction with that end product. Once a digital file leaves my computer, I can no longer take responsibility for the print quality. Different labs and different printers will print the same photos in different ways with greatly varying levels of quality.
