Not long after your portrait
session, you will be able to come back to see all of the ORIGINAL 4" x
5" images from your entire photo session. These images are in their original
form prior to any corrections, retouching, and enhancements which we will apply to your
finished portraits. CHOOSING from YOUR ORIGINALS
This is when you’ll select the portraits you really like best and decide which
ones you would like produced in various sizes and finishes.
To check your original portraits out of the studio,
we require a $100 non-refundable cash-advance payment which can
be applied towards your portrait order. The originals and album are on loan for up
to 4 days so that you can make your selections. Neither the session
fee nor the cash advance allows you to keep any of the originals. Originals
not returned in a week will be billed at $25 each + $75 for the album.
You may purchase any or all of your originals with any minimum order of
$150 or more (see details below.)
RETOUCHING and DIGITAL ENHANCEMENTS -- Making Your
Original Portraits Look Their BEST!
Standard Blemish Removal costs $15 per image.
We can make you look your best by using digital computer technology to analyze and
color-correct your originals. We can correct blemishes. Freckles can be softened; moles,
harsh lines, braces, or circles under the eyes can be removed. Note:
If you wish a beauty mark left as part of your character, please be sure to mention it
to your portrait consultant.
Most Special Corrections cost about $20 per pose.
Our digital artist can remove stray hair, glare from your glasses, deep scars, clothing
stains or wrinkles, and acne problems. Most special digital corrections cost $20 per item
and per image.
Some Extreme Corrections to face, hair or clothing may require a
special quotation of our artist at a rate of $75 per hour (with
a $20 minimum charge.
Black & White Photos: Thanks to digital editing in the computer,
we can give any of your color portraits the timeless look of Black & White. We can
also make them sepia tone (brown and white) to give them the look of an heirloom portrait
from the 19th Century.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Digital corrections are electronic and will not remain
on the negative after printing. So be sure to think ahead and order all the
portraits you need to avoid paying to have these services repeated
on reorders.
For $3 per image, we can archive this work to a CD which we store here at the
Portrait Center .

Question: Why can't I make copies of my originals or have
copies of my portraits made elsewhere?
It is a violation of Federal Copyright Laws to have your portaits
copied. So if you want to keep your originals, you’ll want to purchase them. Don't
take a costly chance. Purchase your professionally-finished portraits.
How can I store, protect, and display my original
portraits?
We add an Ultra-Violet Luster Protective Coating to all of the
enlarged portraits in your enlargement order at no cost. If you choose to purchase
your original portraits, you’ll probably want us to add this protective coating to
them for only $1 each.
When you're visiting the studio, be sure to ask to see our various Collage
Frames for displaying your original images.
Digital Collage: Ask us about the possibility of
combining and arranging several of your portraits into a single image.
Once you've decided which portraits you like, you'll want to decide how many portraits
(and what dimensions) you'd like of each one.
