Q:   What is your style of photography?

A:   InBeaute Photography offers the best of both worlds; contemporary couples love the beautiful photojournalistic

(candid) images as well as the professionally posed family and group portraits.  To quote one of our clients, Kimerlie G.,

"I chose InBeaute Photography because of their creativity,  quality and style."  We specialize in portraits that are

in focus and enlarge well for framed wall portraits; rather than "soft focus snapshots" that may look well  as small proofs

but not as wall enlargements.     

Q:  What is your philosophy towards weddings?

A:   Weddings are what we do! Because we're intentionally a small studio, we give 110% to you.

We listen to your ideas. We collaborate with you in order to create the images that can best

capture the special people and moments of your day.

Q:  What is your price range of services?

A:   Our collections range from $700.00 to $3,000.00.

Q:  What does this include?

A:   Most  importantly, before the photo session even begins, we offer our years of experience in

photography, fine art, weddings, portraits and exemplary professionalism. These priceless attributes are

brought to every event regardless of how small.   The prices may include an engagement portrait

session w/a complimentary 5x7; on-site consultation; the services of Wendy and/or  Karl Blomseth;

travel within the metro area; the equipment we bring; the amount of time before, during and after

the event; the proofs,  the C.D.s; online viewing if desired, and the time necessary

to assist with designing your custom printed enlargements and reprints.

Q:  Do you have packages? If so, what do they include?

A:   We cater to the client who wishes the best photography at an affordable price; from the

simplest two hour weekday service to a five  hour weekend service. Plus, you choose the number

of hours, the amount of  color versus black & white images, locations and group poses desired.

Q:  Do you shoot in film or digital media capture?

A.  From 1998 - 2004 we photographed in 35mm and medium format film.  In keeping with today's

high technology equipment we are, of course, photographing with digital equipment.   Film services

are available upon request at an additional charge. 

Q:   What is the percentage of color vs. black & white or sepia that you shoot?

A:   We customize each client's day and their image choices.   Generally, we create all the original images

in color and selectively convert our favorites over to black & white, sepia and/or  what we call "touch of color."

Everyone loves the  Getting Ready pictures as well as the emotional laughter and tears portraits in black and 

white because  it so beautifully displays the emotion of the day.

Q:   Do you include proof pictures and proof books with your services?

A:   Yes, for some of our packages we provide REAL, archival  4x6 proof pictures; not just print-outs from an inkjet printer.

Plus, we have an online viewing service so friends and family can shop online.  You don't have to handle their orders

or collect money from your relatives.  

Q:  Do you have a studio with more samples?

A.  Yes, unlike some photographers who work from their dining room table or living rooms, we are

professional photographers with a beautiful studio where you may view more images.  In addition, we

are fully equipped for in-studio portraits for personal or business headshot needs.

Q:  Who owns the copyright to the pictures?

A.  Good question.  We share the copyright with you.  We give you multiple copies of a "Copyright Release Form"

that grants you and your families full use of the images to make as many reproductions as you wish.

Q.  Will you help us with our reprint orders or are you the "shoot and run" type of photographers?

A.  No, we are not the "shoot and run" type of photographers.  Yes, we are happy to help you with your

custom enlargement and special printing requests.  However, you will receive your own master copy of the portraits

on a compact disk in the event you wish to make small reproductions at a lab of your choice.   We will even

recommend a number of professional photo finishing labs for you to use.

Q:   Special services offered (optional or included):

A.  Similar to a bridal registry, we offer InBeaute Gift Cards in any dollar amount so your          

family & friends can buy you photography reprints, albums and enlargements as your favorite

wedding gifts.  Plus we offer unique, customized holiday and thank you cards, images duplicated    

on to CDs, custom bridal couple albums & parent albums, event coverage of other bridal festivities,

travel outside the metro, and designing of your reprints incorporating all the latest special effects

such as touch of color.

When the wedding celebrations are over; we offer business head shots, special event 

photography at family reunions, charity events and business celebrations, images for website

promotions and, of course, pregnancy and newborn photography.

Q.  How do you break down the time frame of  photographs taken? 

Ranges from

Low                     High

15 min  -             40 min. to arrive and set up depending on the location

15 min  -             90 min posed photos

15 min. -             45 min  candids immediately prior to the ceremony

15 min  -             60 min ceremony

20 min  -             90 min receiving line and candids

20 min  -             60 min candids during cocktail hour and before dinner

60 min  -             90 min dinner, toasting, cutting cake

15 min  -             60 min dancing

The biggest variable involves how many posed photos you wish and the location(s) of

where the photos are created.   The current trend is toward more photojournalism and

less of posed photographs.  InBeaute Photography can do both!
