Can I get black and white portraits?
Yes. Kendall Portraits offers you the option of Hollywood black & white style or color photographs in each of your poses.
Do I have to make an appointment?
Appointments are made to ensure that we are fully prepared for your Photo session.
How many weeks in advance do I need for an appointment?
Although we frequently have appointments scheduled a month or more in advance, we will often have openings in our schedule to accommodate many clients’ needs to shoot “as soon as possible”. So if you need to shoot right away and you have some flexibility with regards to the day or times you can shoot, call us at 305-254-1445.
Why a deposit for booking a Photo session?
All appointments require a non-refundable deposit equal to 50% of the photo shoot package. Whenever an appointment is made, the time scheduled becomes committed to the person making the appointment. That block of time becomes off limits to anyone else seeking to make an appointment at that time. It means that if you cancel, not only we will not receive full payment for the time we’ve committed to working with you, it also means that there is almost no possibility of us being able make up for our loss by “selling” that block of time to someone else. A non-refundable deposit deters people from casually cancelling the time they have committed to. Cancellations and “no shows” are very hurtful in that they directly result in a loss of time and money.
Why a rescheduling fee?
In the same way that cancellations directly result in a loss of time and money, the act of clients casually rescheduling their appointments is also detrimental. The rescheduling fee exists to deter casual and unnecessary rescheduling. Rescheduling can be done without penalty up to 7 days before your photo shoot is scheduled. If you give us at least 48 hours notice, we charge a small fee of $25 to reschedule. If you provide me with less than 48 hours notice, you will be charged a $75 rescheduling fee.
What about cancelation of photo session?
Cancellations prior to the day of your shoot will result in the loss of your deposit. Cancelling on the same day of your appointment or failing to show up will result in a charge for the remaining balance for you scheduled photo shoot.
Is Kendall Portraits only for women?
No, we also specialize in photographing business executives, high school seniors, children and families. We shoot all kinds of photos, for all kinds of clients, to meet all kinds of budgets.
