DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH YOUR SESSIONS IN STUDIO OR ON LOCATION?
Jeffrey S Hall photographs sessions both on location and in the studio. Depending on the session type you desire (senior, family, or other) you will have several options or combinations to choose from.

 

WHAT DOES “MINIMUM PURCHASE” MEAN?
Our sessions do require a minimum order. Clients have different needs; some clients prefer longer sessions, multiple locations, multiple outfit changes, more images to see, etc. Some clients prefer smaller sessions with less time, one location, fewer outfit changes, and less poses and images. A minimum purchase is the minimum amount a client must invest on their order. Minimum orders are applied in an effort to allocate our customer’s time and budgets appropriately as well as our time in order to deliver consistent quality and serve our clients effectively. Our minimum purchases/starting points are based on our experience of what most clients have chosen to order for that specific session. Different sessions (to include number of  locations, distance of locations, length of sessions, number of outfits, activities, number of images to see, etc.) are available to our clients to help find them find the right custom session.

 

WHAT IS A "CONSULTATION"?
We meet with our clients at a consultation prior to your photoshoot to go over all the details about your portrait experience prior to your session. We discuss locations, ideas, time, weather, outfits, style, collections, and all the details of the shoot and ordering appt so they day of your session we are all just having fun creating amazing images.

WHEN DO I GET TO SEE THE IMAGES FROM MY SESSION AND PLACE MY ORDER? 
Ordering appointments are scheduled on Tuesday thru Friday Appointments are scheduled during business hours.

At your ordering appointment we will present your images in a gorgeous slideshow, and we will then help you select the images, groupings, books, and frames suitable for your home, office,and for gifts for friends and family. We specialize in helping you select the best images and display presentations, and feel this process is a very important service that we can offer to our clients.
