Title: Requirements doing portrait photography?
Post by: jocelynaz on November 18, 2008, 10:29:24 PM
Hello everyone ~ I saw the "Christian Photographer" thread, but I wanted to post a separate thread asking about what (if any) requirements you all have in place before accepting a portrait photo session, particularly with regards to modesty in clothing.  Do you mention to your clients up front what you will and will not photograph?

I am planning on offering photography services starting in January (yay!) and am going to be building my portfolio between now and the end of year.  I plan to focus more on portrait photography for families, children, seniors (high school), and engagement.  I know of a Christian wedding photographer who has it on his agreement that he will not photograph a wedding where the bridal party's dress is immodest.  Of course he explains what he considers immodest.

I was just curious to know how some of you handle this with your clients.  I appreciate any feedback.   :)
