What To Expect

What can you expect with a photo session with Fusaro Photography?

All sessions take place on-location. I come to you and photograph your family in your home or a favorite outdoor spot. It could be the beach, a favorite park or your backyard. If you’re having trouble choosing, I’ve got a list of the best spots in LA. Sessions typically take up to 2 hours of photography time and if needed, we will take breaks. If it’s my first time there, I’ll take a peek around your home to find the best lighting and photo areas. Then, I’ll take a few minutes to get to know your family, and even help you pick out outfits if you haven’t already decided on that. I might do a little arranging or move stuff around so we get the perfect light and perfect shot.

Your session will be fun and relaxed. I interact with your kids or pets to naturally draw out expressions and make them feel relaxed. I’ve been know to hunt for spiders and magic elves too. I play fetch and give out many yummy treats too. (let me know if your pup has any dietary restrictions) We’ll make picture taking a blast…all while keeping it natural as possible to capture the most genuine emotions.

When should I book my session?

It’s best to plan ahead. Sessions with Fusaro Photography tend to book up 4-8 weeks in advance. With June – November being peak season. Please feel free to call 310-422-4490 today to check availability and reserve your session time.

How long will our session take?

Sessions are never rushed and usually last up to 2 hours. Of course it depends on the type of session and your child or pet. Sessions with small children or infants are best scheduled on a day when you will not feel rushed. I keep shooting as long as it takes to get the shots we want. Remember, this is your custom portrait experience, and I strive to make it as comfortable as possible.

When can we expect to view our online gallery?

Within 2-3 days of your session I will post a few “sneak peek” images from your session on my blog. To stay informed with up to the minute details, I suggest subscribing to my RSS feed. Within 2 weeks of your session I will contact you with a link and password to view your online image gallery. You will have 10 days from that time, to select the individual pictures of your choice. Feel free to share this gallery with friends and family.

How soon will I receive my ordered prints?

Orders are generally fulfilled within 10-14 days of payment, depending on the collection/prints ordered and lab turn around times. Custom products such as canvases, albums or coffee table books may take up to 4 weeks.

Can I order prints from you even after my gallery has expired?

Of course. There is a $50 republishing fee. I archive all ordered image for 1 year, all images that are not ordered will be purged to make room on the server for other clients. If you think you may want to order more images in the future, I suggest purchasing the digital negatives.
