Having your portrait taken is just one step of the experience.
Before you begin, you may want to consider your options and objectives throughout the process. Knowing what you want to accomplish ahead of time is helpful. Share your ideas and decisions with Keith Penner and he will work with you to ensure your final product meets your expectations.
We are glad you are choosing Keith Penner Photography and we trust the following list will help guide you.
Are you commemorating a personal achievement or significant event?
Is this a single sitting or a group portrait?
Portraits can have 'secret' meaning, a personal memory can be incorporated just for you. Book your portrait on a special day or invite some special people in your life to join you and make it a group sitting.
You can always have single shots of the group done within your time allotted for the sitting.
Is the date you book the shoot for significant? (a birthday, anniversary, etc.)
Do you want to make a day of it? Consider the time of your shoot, if want lunch, dinner or a get-together afterwards, or want a hair appointment beforehand.
Know the individuals in your group and book the best time of day for them.
This can make your finished artwork even more significant. (ie. an anniversary shot at the time you were first married).
If the portrait is a single or group shot, why not make it a memorable experience and enjoy the day in the Bloor/Yorkville neighbourhood.
If there are small children in your group, you may wish to book a morning appointment (before they get tired). Parents will know when their children are at their peak time of day.
