Q&As

Communication between the photographer and the client/subject is the key to creating great images.

Getting to know each other before the shoot with the use of my questionnaire based on the particular requirements of your shoot is one of the tools I use to make sure we both have a clear understanding of the images we are going to create during our session together.

I also provide clients with a, What to Wear, guide on the types of clothing they may want to select for the shoot (beyond the standard *comfortable*). I also offer services like Hair/Makeup/Styling for those who want it. In addition, we will connect at least a couple more times between the initial call, the questionnaire, reserving your time, signing the contract, paying your fees, and a final pre-shoot call to answer any additional questions or concerns and ensure that we are all set to go.

With this series of interactions, by the time we meet for your session, we will all have a clear understanding of our goals for the session. Knowing exactly what we want to create takes the pressure off the moment, allowing us all to relax a bit and enjoy ourselves as we create outstanding images together.

What is your intended use of the images?

Is this for a special occasion or a specific purpose?

Are there any specific requirements (for example, size and dimensions, Color vs Black and White, Retouching, etc.)?

Does this mark a milestone in your life, job, or family?

What are you trying to convey with the images we are going to take? For example, it could be, that it's a professional headshot so I have to project confidence, or it might be a gift to my sweetheart and I want it to be romantic, or maybe something like, it's my senior portrait, I want it to reflect my quirky nature.

Are there images that you have seen that you love and would like us to recreate together?

This is usually covered in the questionnaire I mentioned above.

The ability to connect with people and work together to create some incredible, and artistic, images.

It's the only way I know of doing what I love to do.

Because I care about quality. I spent a career as a Quality Assurance professional on the road to becoming a professional photographer. I am committed to finding ways to deliver the highest quality I can in each project.

I can provide some services remotely - like Branding photography, while others, like portraits, obviously require in-person sessions.

All orders for products and scheduling of services are created online through your Client Portal.

Digital Proofs from your session are also delivered through your Client Portal.
Deliveries of physical products: Prints, Albums, etc., are mailed directly to you at the address you provide.

I will create your Client Portal as soon as we finish our initial discussion of your photo session.

At that point, I will send you a link to the client portal where you can have access to the Questionnaire, the Booking Calendar, the Contract, and where you'll pay the Invoice (once we've determined the rest).

This Client Portal is where your digital proofs will be delivered and where you can order Prints, Albums, and other products.

1st of all, I am completely vaccinated and my boosters are up to date. I also require that anyone exposed to COVID (myself included) follow the guidelines of the CDC and in these cases, we reschedule the shoot for another time.

On the day of the shoot, if possible we will shoot outdoors or in a large enough indoor space where we can maintain safe distances.

I will always wear a mask when interacting up-close with people on the set. When I am behind the camera, the client is usually a safe distance away so, to ensure better communication, I will usually go without a mask (but this depends on the situation).

Services

I will come to the location of your choice and together we will create an outstanding headshot for your professional profile - be that a corporate website, or 8x10 glossies for your latest artistic release.

Sessions are a minimum of 1.5 hours with several different looks possible (depending on the suitable outfits you provide).
Hair styling and makeup are not necessary - but are recommended. These services can be arranged by Kendell Photo (if booked at the time of the session) or the responsibility may be taken on by the client themselves (this must be cleared with Kendell Photo when booking the session because there is a difference between day-to-day makeup and makeup for photography).

It is recommended that haircuts and any major hairstyle changes be completed at least a week before the photo session as this will help ensure that the session produces the results you are expecting.

The result of the session will be 15-25 images that Kendell Photo will have finished to their professional standards and these Digital Proofs will be provided to the client via a client portal. Delivery of the completed Digital Proofs is usually within 15 days of the shoot but this delivery schedule can be accelerated if necessary (but may incur an additional Rush Fee).

Prints (and other products) may be ordered after the digital proofs have been provided.

Disclaimer: Digital Proofs will be available on the system for a minimum of 30 days from their 1st posting but may be deleted at any time after that 30-day window without further notice (unless prior arrangements have been made).

Extensions of time can be arranged and will automatically occur upon receipt of product orders. For example, ordering Prints or other products will automatically extend the time that the Digital Proofs remain on the system by 30- days from that date.

For clarity, the standard availability of Proofs for RePurchase is an additional 30 days from the date of order - after which, they may be removed from the system without further notice.


I will come to your business, you can come to either of my locations in Northern California or Central Oregon, or you can ship me your product and we can do a remote session to create the look and feel you want for your specific brand.

Location photography is also an available option as well if that type of work fits your product line and budget.

I have been a professional photographer since 1989's when I completed college - where I majored in Professional Photography and Computer Science and have recently started providing in-person services to Northern California and Central Oregon as well as remote services to anywhere the internet reaches.

If your brand needs a personalized touch by a caring and creative photographer who can work with you as a partner to help you define your niche and target your brand to that market, give me a call, and let's get started. Initial consultations are always fee-free.

I offer Real Estate photography services throughout Northern California and Central Oregon. After an initial teleconference or telephone call to discuss your Real Estate photographic needs, I will arrive at your site to either complete the scheduled shoot or, on complex projects, size the project and take preliminary scouting photos to plan and properly scope the project.

If you need Set Dressing Services, those can be arranged as well as determining what other services may be needed for the project.

I will come to your location for the session - so that you and your furry friend are most comfortable and at ease in familiar settings.

We can also shoot on location at your favorite dog park, nature hike, seashore, etc. Wherever you and yours are the most at ease.

You can also come to me in Dixon, California, or Prineville, Oregon - as either location has a wonderful city park close by with plenty of opportunities for great photography.

The images will be customized for your specific needs. You may want action photos or more reserved posed portraits.

We can shoot your session indoors or out (or both). I have mobile studio lighting that will easily transport to your location and, weather permitting, we can shoot outdoors in natural light. For example, if we book a longer session, we might want to incorporate both - an indoor portrait session and an outdoor action session - the choice is yours.

Additionally, the Painterly Portrait technique (described elsewhere) can be applied to your Pet Portrait session so that you can create a truly unique and timeless classic portrait of your beloved pet. You might even want to have it printed on canvas.

All portraits, Child, Teen, Adult, or Family are available in several different styles.

Environmental: these are sessions where the images produced include environmental elements that convey something about who the subject is. This can be in their workspace, at their church, at their favorite park, etc.

Classic Portraiture: these sessions are typically traditional lighting with a neutral or subdued background. They are typically what most people think of when they think of studio portraits.

Hollywood Glamour (Silver Screen) Portraits: these classic images are created using lighting and posing techniques typical of the heyday of Old Hollywood. They are usually shot in high contrast Black and White with dramatic lighting and poses. An example from my portfolio is the Engagement Portrait of the Couple.

Each of these sessions has a slightly different time requirement but for each, I will come to the location of your choice and together we will create an outstanding Portrait for your enjoyment.

These sessions start at a minimum of 2 hours with a few several different looks possible (depending on the suitable outfits you provide).

Hair styling and makeup are not necessary - but are recommended. These services can be arranged by Kendell Photo (if booked at the time of the session) or the responsibility may be taken on by the client themselves (the MUA must be cleared with Kendell Photo when booking the session as there is a difference between day to day makeup and makeup for photography).

It is recommended that haircuts and any major hairstyle changes be completed at least a week before the photo session so that you are used to any new do and know what to expect from it. This ensures that the session will produce the results you are expecting.

The result of the session will usually be 15-25 images that Kendell Photo will have finished to their professional standards and these Digital Proofs will be provided to the client via a client portal. Delivery of the completed Digital Proofs is usually within 15 days of the shoot but this delivery schedule can be accelerated if necessary (which may incur an additional Rush Fee).

Prints (and other products) may be ordered after the digital proofs have been provided.

Disclaimer: Digital Proofs will be available on the system for a minimum of 30 days from their 1st posting but may be deleted at any time after that 30-day window without further notice (unless prior arrangements have been made).

Extensions of time can be arranged and will automatically occur upon receipt of product orders. For example, ordering Prints or other products will automatically extend the time that the Digital Proofs remain on the system by 30- days from that date.

For clarity, the standard availability of Proofs for RePurchase is an additional 30 days from the date of order - after which, they may be removed from the system without further notice.

Painterly Portraits may be created in any of the products I offer. You can see an example or two of this effect in my included portfolio. The image of the Girl and her Golden Retriever in the park is an example of this type of process. Both images of a horse in a field are examples of this technique.

There is an additional fee for creating a painting-like version of your session - as in the Pet Portrait (for example) as it takes artistic editing in addition to the normal photo editing that is included with all images. The results of this process are Artistic, and therefore, at the inspiration and discretion of the artist. Please let me know if this is something that you would be interested in adding to your photo session.
