What is a photo journalistic service?
Photojournalism is a type of photography that focuses on telling a story - capturing the essence of an
event or subject through the use of lighting, angles, filters, and imagery. We hear frequently from our
clients that we are able to capture a subject's personality, emotion, and attitude through our
portraiture. That's our goal - to create images unlike anything you have ever seen before. We like to
create work that is a little "outside the envelope", but we are happy to create traditional portraits as
well. Your vision drives our work; simply let us know what you have in mind, and we create a shoot
just for you.
What types of portrait work do you do?
We have performed our distinctive portraiture for families, children, pets, seniors, sweethearts,
engagement & weddings, home and hearth, romantic, modeling, corporate and commercial, headshots
and more. We are always interested in new challenges. Just ask! To see samples of portraits, click
here.
Where do you shoot?
Wherever we need to! We shoot wherever you desire. Most of our portrait work is done in private
homes, parks, or locations chosen for their sentimental value. If you would like your family portraits
taken on your front porch or in front of your fireplace, we can do that. If you would like your
engagement portraits taken on the spot he popped the question, we can do that, too. Community
parks and museum grounds offer beautiful settings with a variety of "environmental looks". We
would be happy to make suggestions to meet your needs and location. Headshots can be done
anywhere, and often the best pet portraits are done in their natural environment. We do have studio
space available for individual or small group traditional portraits.
Can you do portraits of special needs children?
We would be honored to spend time with your special needs child and create a classic and emotional
piece of art. Your child's needs dictate the location and style of the shoot, and family members are
welcome to participate. If desired, we will visit homes, hospitals, rehab centers, hospice facilities, or
schools to capture their special personality. Utilizing a long lens and working from a distance, Laura
can document your child in a natural and intriguing way. It takes a special touch to photograph
children who may be intimidated by traditional portrait opportunities. Compassion and an
understanding mother's touch - no extra charge with LBP.
Can you do commercial work?
Absolutely! We are an excellent method of supplementing your company's marketing efforts, or as a
cost-effective out source for your firm. We have worked for years with not-for-profit groups, clubs,
organizations, small business, and professional individuals to boost their public profile and image.
Our corporate services include staff portraits, press release shots, publicity materials, building and
department documentation, event coverage, raw materials for in-house publishing, website material,
and more. Marketing and promotion needs are specific to you and your business; simply let us know
what you're thinking, and we will work to develop a custom package.
Do you write copy as well?
A picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes clients need both text and images. Laura Breece
Photography also offers journalistic services in addition to its photography. Combining distinctive
photography with publication-ready copy helps your small business or organization fulfill its mission
easier.
We can create custom captioning, press releases, brochure copy, website text, handbooks, manuals,
and articles to your specifications. Our writing style can be tailored to your company's approach,
from humorous to scientific or somewhere in between. LBP features a network of talented writers in
fields such as legal, education, arts, banking, athletics, and philanthropy. We can also edit and
rework existing copy or earlier versions of business literature. Contact our office for this editing
service.
If you need a press release to accompany your engagement or specialty photograph, simply tell us
your needs. We can even email it out for you!
What is a headshot?
Headshots are 8x10 portraits used in the performing arts world and advertising industry for talent
auditioning and promotion. Typically containing only the head, shoulders and hands, your headshot
should capture your unique look or style, and accompany a resume. Headshots should be repeated
once every year or two, or anytime you have a major change to your appearance. It is important that
your headshot reflects what you look like right now, because casting agents rely heavily on them for
their work. To see samples of headshots, click here.
How is a headshot session different from a
modeling or full portrait session?
Our typical headshot package includes your sitting and 30-40 images to choose from. You also
receive online posting of your images, and 2 8x10's of your image choice. We would be happy to
consult with you on the best image(s) for your particular needs. Multiple poses will be used, with
primarily the head and shoulders being visible. We concentrate on your eyes for this type of portrait
work. In the past, headshots were almost exclusively in black and white; however, this is changing in
some industries. To stay fresh and contemporary, Laura continually studies current headshot
portraiture coming out of New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Session fee: $125.00
How do Senior Portrait sessions work?
When you book your senior portraits with Laura Breece Photography, prepare for a unique
experience. Our senior shoots are approximately 2 hours in length, and include 4-5 clothing changes.
Laura works with you to create unique poses, unusual framing, and that "something special" that
happens when you're comfortable. Our clients tell us that their shoots are great fun, and that they
were made to feel like a model. We train models; why not you? We also take special care to make
you look your best, by bringing out your best features and minimizing those that are not.
Teaching posing and presentation is a specialty of ours; you'll take better pictures forever with the
tips we give you. Guys, we specialize in creating masculine, rugged, and handsome portraits. No
cheesy smiles and corny poses allowed! Of course, retouching is available on any of your proof
choices. We can erase pimples, wrinkles, birth marks, moles, shadowing, etc. We can even digitally
remove your braces or do spot color in your image. Standard retouching is included at no extra
charge. Additional, more extensive retouching will be at an additional fee. Contact our office with
your request and we will provide a quote.

Can I schedule my senior portraits
in my own home?
An exciting new trend in senior portrait photography is having your shoot right in your own home.
What a great way to remember your environment at this time of your life! All of your clothes will be
available for creating the perfect look, your pet is nearby, and your special awards and belonging are
already on display. We bring in studio lights when necessary, to supplement the natural light
available there. We can also travel to sites that are significant to you.
What should I wear?
Your best choices in portraiture will be solid colors, long sleeves, with a variety of "looks". A more
formal outfit, 2 casual outfits, a team or club uniform, and cap & gown are usually sufficient. Can't
decide? We encourage you to bring several choices and we'll help you select. Don't forget
coordinating shoes and accessories such as jewelry and hats. Stay in color families that blend well
with your natural coloring, and with clothing choices that won't make you laugh in 20 years. Avoid
short sleeves, midriff tops or short jackets that cut your line, and wildly trendy looks unless that is
your gimmick.
For family portraits, we encourage you to coordinate the outfits around a clothing style, fabric, or
color family. For example: white shirts with jeans; polos and shorts; red, white & blue; boys in one
color, girls in another,etc. Unless you are looking for a specific wardrobe, work with what your
family already has to keep additional costs down. Unique props that tie the group together are often
terrific mementos.
Can I bring props?
Absolutely! Hats, instruments, dance shoes, flags, your car, your dog, jerseys, sporting goods, hobby
items, etc..are all welcome at your shoot. The more personality you add to your picture, the more
pleased you will be. We have also done portrait sessions with extreme skateboarding, swords,
motorcycles, and action shots. It's your shoot; you decide.
Can you do portraits of my pets?
Laura Breece Photography loves to photograph animals. Your dog, cat, gerbil, snake, horse, cow, or
fish are like family; why shouldn't they have a featured space on your mantel? Using a long lens and
patience, she will capture your pet at play, unaware of the camera. For smaller animals, we use an
extreme macro focus lens to zoom in tight on tiny features. Our clients have told us, "I am so glad
we had pictures taken of our dog! Shortly after our shoot, he passed away. I didn't realize how much
it was going to mean having a quality portrait of him." We can also restage portraits from past years,
using the same pose to show growth and change.
To see samples of pet portraits, click here.
What if I would like to include another person or a pet in my shoot?
We encourage you to include best friends, sweetheart, parents, or siblings in your shoot. There is no
additional charge for this service. We believe that the people who are significant in your life deserve
to be recognized. Laura Breece Photography also offers a "Last Chance Package" that combines
senior portraits with a full family portrait sitting.
Do you offer professional makeup artists?
Laura Breece Photography is pleased to offer Stylist Services to our clients. The stylist will work for
you just like she does on a real modeling shoot: professional makeup application and touch ups, hair
touch ups and minor changes, clothing choices, accessorizing, and personal attention. The Stylist
Service is an additional fee of $75 for one person or $125 for two. Join forces with a friend and save
money! Having a stylist on the set makes your whole sitting move more smoothly. Your personal
stylist will have your outfits ready to go, assist you with changes, and be the "eye in the sky" that
spots stray hairs and mud on your shoes. A worthwhile investment in your successful session; we
have a staff of professional makeup artists and fashion divas to assist you!
What is a modeling composite?
A modeling composite is a 5x7 cardstock piece that promotes models and actors in the advertising
industry. Photographs for composites reflect a variety of looks, from headshots and fullshots to high
fashion and artistic. Your agent will help you determine which shots to use from the choices we
create.
Can I order reprints and enlargements online?
Laura Breece Photography is proud to offer online proofing and ordering. Online ordering allows
family and friends in other areas to view proofs and place orders easily with any recognized debit or
credit card. This is a great option for reception, party, reunion, and wedding photojournalism shoots
as well as portrait sessions. We are also equipped to do rush orders; a service fee will be assessed for
priority handling.
Can you do personalized die cut wallets?
We are pleased to offer die cut wallets with personalization to our clients. Typically done for Senior
Portraits, personalized wallets are also excellent table decorations or party favors. Simply tell us what
personalization you would like; we will design it and email you a proof to approve. Personalization
of name, graduation year, special dates, etc. are easily ordered through our office.
What can you do with special events?
Because LBP is a photography service, we can tailor to your specific event needs. For one event, it
might make more sense to shoot unlimited images at an hourly rate. For another, a base package will
work. For yet another, online proofing for guests to order will be the best method. Contact our
office and explain your needs; we will build an affordable, quality proposal for you.
What is "Live Performance" portraiture?
LBP is experienced in shooting live events for arts and sports. Shooting "stills" in a theatre or
concert (without a flash) is our specialty. Laura has done extensive work in dance and community
theatre, as a director, choreographer and a performer. Understanding the stage allows her to catch
the movement at its peak, or the "feeling" of a particular scene.
Most events of this kind do not permit flash photography. Using available light and a tripod, Laura
can capture your child's play debut, dance recital, or vocal performance. Please note: permission to
shoot the event is the responsibility of the client. It might be necessary to shoot a dress rehearsal for
best options and cooperation.
Can you shoot my child's ball game?
If your child plays sports, the odds are pretty good they gave you a team picture with a canned
individual shot. Wouldn't it be better to have great shots of your child in action on the field? Just
like the sports photography in the paper, using a long lens and fast shutter speeds, we can create an
album of action shots during an actual sporting event. Great for team albums, slide shows, and
coaches' gifts! the Session fee can be split between multiple players.
Do I get to keep my proofs?
Yes, a custom-designed proof album can be included in most packages. Although having the images
on a CD is contemporary, having real paper prints to review and study can be more effective when
choosing your images. We recognize that our clients have widely varied technical know-how. Tell us
where you are on the Tech-Savvy scale, and we will work to give you the media you are most
comfortable with.
Can I order a CD of my images for personal use?
Yes, CDs are available from all shoots for an additional charge. With the purchase of a CD, each
client is granted permission for personal reproductions. This allows the client to email, print at home,
or create images from the CD. If you enjoy blogging, live journaling, or emailing pictures to your
friends, having all of your proofs readily available to share can be a real convenience. Many of our
clients enjoy posting their favorites on MySpace or FaceBook. (Official copyright is still retained by
Laura Breece Photography, and any large quantity or commercial application needs to be approved
and contracted through our office. Additional fees may apply).
What specialty items do you carry?
Through our partnership with professional labs, we can create many specialty items for our clients.
Examples include: buttons, trading cards, greeting cards, engraving, DVD slide shows, calendars,
mugs, shirts, candles, mouse pads, business cards, and fine art canvas portraits. If it can be made, we
will make every effort to accommodate you!
Do you do weddings?
Our photographic service is excellent for weddings, outdoor events, rehearsal dinners, parties, and
luncheons associated with the wedding. If you are interested in fewer static poses and more unique
storytelling, give us a call. Our wedding style leans more to the "magazine-style" look, with a hint of
alternative thinking.
There are different styles with each photographer; some are more traditional and some are more
cutting edge. Using portable equipment and a clever eye, we catch the moments no one else sees:
the flower girl asleep in a chair; grandma dancing with the nephew; a private toast between grandpa
and the groom off to the side. Laura sees moments about to happen, and catches the unusual. We
tell the story in a new and different way...
