Frequently Asked Questions:
We are a Fine-Art Portrait Studio and are known for creating custom artwork with the highest quality printing. We believe that our job is not complete until beautiful artwork is hanging on your walls. That being said, we do realize that many of our clients like to have their images on file for archiving purposes, so you do have the ability to purchase single digital files or the complete session (up to 20 images). Digital files are also included in each of the packages offered.
We only take a limited number of bookings every week and therefore have to assume that everyone we schedule is moving forward with their session. Once you book your date, it precludes us from booking anyone else in that spot, so therefore the session fees are non-refundable. We understand that there are some unforeseen events such as bad weather or other family emergencies and certainly will address those on a case by case basis if need be.
To book your session, please reach out to us at the studio at 239.234.6830 or info@heatherdonlan.com and we can help you can schedule your session. Payment is required in advance to secure your reservation.
Wear what you love! We want your personality to be captured! We suggest finding complementary colors so that the color tones blends, but this does not mean you have to all wear the same thing. In fact, we think it best if there is a little variation in the color palette so that everyone in your group shines through. Colors that work well together on the beach are: Navy + White (maybe even with pop of canary yellow), Light Blue +White, Pink/Lavender/White/Gray. Black is very harsh on the beach and if you are leaning towards a darker color palette, we suggest navy or charcoal grey instead.
The weather is usually beautiful here in Naples, but in the case of heavy rain, we try to reschedule your shoot and accommodate as best we can. If the weather simply will not cooperate in a reasonable timeframe, then session fee will be refunded.
We offer two sessions per day on the beach; sunrise and sunset. Sessions that are scheduled at the studio or at a non-beach location have a little more flexibility as to when we shoot, depending on lighting during the day.
