Frequently Asked Questions you might find helpful!
What is the best time for a Beach/Outdoor portrait?
The lighting is at its best for outdoor shooting in the early morning or late afternoon. For sunset sessions, we usually begin around an hour before sunset to make the most of the gorgeous, soft dusk and dramatic Florida sunsets.
What should we wear for our session?
If you are being photographed in a group, please make sure you wear clothes that look good together! Plain clothes are best. Avoid patterns, stripes and logos which are distracting in the final product. Sleeves and moderate necklines are best in photographs, and mini-skirts will not look good sitting down on the sand!
Families shouldn't be matched exactly, but the clothing colors should have the same tones to them: either all dark or all light. Many people like to wear khakis or blue jeans with white shirts. Pastels generally flatter both the wearer and the landscape in beach portraits.

Can we bring our pet to the session?
Yes! Pets are part of your family too! But it is a good idea to bring a friend who will not be photographed to 'pet-sit' throughout the session when your furry friend needs a break so we can concentrate on getting the best pictures of all of you. Check out our blog for our in-studio pet specials as well!

I'm pregnant, and would like to schedule a maternity session. When is the best stage of pregnancy to do this?
Usually around 6 weeks before your due date - don't leave it any later in case your bundle of joy comes early! Sessions usually take an hour to an hour and a half, using a variety of props, poses and clothing. They take place in our relaxed, private studio environment, and result in some of the most breathtakingly beautiful images we create here at Avant-Garde.

When should I schedule a newborn session?
It's best to schedule an appointment with us before the baby is born. Newborn sessions are best carried out before the baby is two weeks old. We offer a specially priced Maternity and Baby Program to help you document your child's growth session by session throughout the first year or so of life. Please call or email for more details! We at Avant-Garde Images LOVE maternity and newborn sessions. It's a wonderful way to meet new lifelong clients!

Please feel free to email or call us directly with any further questions you many have. We would be delighted to help you! info@naplesportraits.com (239) 263-7001
