Let's Get In Touch
  • How far in advance should I book my portrait session?

    I can put together a shoot in a hurry if we need to, but I always prefer/recommend at least 2-3 weeks in advance if it is possible. This gives us plenty of time to make sure that you have all the wardrobe needed and for you to schedule any beauty appointments. But if you're on a tight schedule, please don't hesitate to reach out.

  • What Should We Wear for a Portrait Session?

     For a portrait session, it is important to dress in a way that you think best represents you. Generally, avoid wearing anything too formal or distracting. Instead, choose clothing that is comfortable, classic, and timeless. Layers are always a great option as they can be adjusted to suit the setting and the weather. Colors should be chosen carefully, as they can affect the overall look of the photograph, make sure that if you want to be photographed as a group your clothes complement each other but don’t match too closely. Try to avoid busy patterns and opt for solid colors that flatter your skin tone.

  • How Long Does It Take for Me to Get My Pictures?

     Turnaround from shoot to gallery is usually one week and it takes one week for print orders to be processed and delivered. If you have particular requirements for a job to be turned around to a deadline please let me know in advance.

  • Will I own the images from my photoshoot?

     While you will have access to your images online to purchase prints and use on your website, dating profile, or social media accounts, Broadway Photography retains the copyright for your photos. We update our portfolio often and may use your photographs for advertising purposes. However, if you’re uncomfortable with your images being used in our marketing efforts, we can discuss other options.
