Frequently Asked Questions
- WHAT TYPES OF SESSIONS DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH?
-
I photograph seniors, professional headshots, families, children, couples, sports and real estate.
- HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY SENIOR SESSION?
-
My calendar opens in January for the whole following year and most families book by the beginning of March whether they are looking for a session in the summer or fall. That said, if you can’t book that far in advance, usually I can make room if you contact me 2-3 months ahead.
- HOW DO I SCHEDULE A SENIOR SESSION?
-
Simple! Just have a parent email me at mcphersonphotography@cox.net. We can schedule your consultation, giving us a chance to meet, create an amazing plan for your experience and answer all of your questions. It’s all very easy and we can schedule your session at that time.
- WHO WILL PHOTOGRAPH ME?
-
I am the owner and photographer at LMP. I personally photograph all of our children, teens, seniors, professional head shots and families. You will get to work with me every step of the way.
- I HAVE NEVER BEEN PROFESSIONALLY PHOTOGRAPHED AND I'M NERVOUS
-
Don’t worry! Many people who come to LMP have never been professionally photographed. I am experienced at working with people of all ages and will make you feel super comfortable. I will show you everything you need to know to look your best and have fun.
- I HEARD YOU HAVE A VIP SENIOR TEAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS – HOW DOES THAT WORK?
-
I have an amazing program for seniors that incorporates themed photo sessions for both individual and group photos. Our VIP SRs are not models, but are average senior guys and girls. There are no height or weight requirements to be a VIP SR. It is a lot of fun and gives my seniors the opportunity to do extra photo sessions with a professional photographer, meet other local seniors and we also do fun activities and volunteer work from time to time. Most VIP SRs are extremely busy with school and extracurricular activities so there is no time requirement it is just encouraged to come participate and have fun! You can learn more about being a VIP SR during your senior consult.
- DO YOU HAVE A STUDIO?
-
Yes, my studio is located in our home and I have been photographing clients here since 2010.
- WHERE DO OUTSIDE SESSIONS TAKE PLACE?
-
We have a variety of fantastic locations in and around the Topeka area. We also travel to locations outside of Topeka when desired. Whether you are wanting a grassy field, an urban location, an old barn, a grungy alley, or someplace more special to you, we have hundreds of different locations that we go for our sessions.
- HOW LONG WILL MY SESSION LAST?
-
There are different types of sessions and each is unique. The length of time depends in part on the location and the type of session chosen.
- WHO ALL SHOULD ACCOMPANY ME TO MY PHOTO SESSION?
-
The fewer the people, the more relaxed you are likely to be. If someone accompanies you, just ensure YOU are going to be able to relax and have a great time.
- I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS, WHAT DO I DO?
-
First, ask your friends who we have created portraits for. They know the experience and can tell you how relaxed and fun it is. Then send me an email and let's schedule your consultation. It's free and it will help you understand the process and how it all works.
I can't wait to meet you!
