University of Regina Graduation Portraits: From September to July, please visit my other company’s website www.cameraone.ca to book your official graduation portraits for the faculties of; Social Work; Education; Engineering; Hill School of Business; The Levene Graduate School of Business; Arts and Science. Sessions are done both in studio and on campus from September to July. We are the only official photographers for these faculties if you want your portrait to be on the class composite that goes on the wall at the university. for They take 20 minutes and we provide the academic regalia (the robe, a collared shirt and academic hood to match your faculty) and you can view proofs the same day.
How long does a session take? +
Business portraits typically range from 20 minutes to one hour, depending on how many outfits you bring, and how chatty we’re feeling.
Group business portraits take about a 1/2 hour for equipment set up and from 10 minutes up to a 1/2 hour for the shooting depending on the size of the group (so one hour in total). For busy work environments I try to ensure I take up the least amount of time of the largest number of people. So once I have access to the area where you want the photo taken, I can generally get the set up done on my own, then I won’t pull you and your staff out until we’re ready to shoot.
Family/Pooch/High School Grad portraits, as a rule of thumb, I say to plan for one hour, it may take more or less time depending on the number of people and the overall ages of the people and/or dogs involved. (YES, if you have a dog, PLEASE BRING THE DOG. I will be sad if you DON’T include your dog/s in the portraits!)
What should I wear? +
Are you wearing the clothes, or are the clothes wearing you? When doing portraits, you want the attention to be on the face - whether it’s a headshot or a group portrait. I always recommend; long sleeves (especially if you’re like me and have a super light complexion!), dark colours before light colours, and try to avoid patterns (try to stay away from really small/tight patterns as they can create a weird effect on camera!).
For groups, it’s usually best to try to stay in one colour family - if you have 6 people wearing blue/greens and one person wearing red, that person is going to stick out!
Do you have a studio (also, do you have a place I can freshen up)? +
I sure do! Located in Regina’s industrial area, not too far from the refinery, my studio has tons of FREE parking, and is ground level so it’s also wheelchair/mobility accessible - and I can accommodate around 10-15 people.
Should I bring props? +
If it’s meaningful to you and you think it will add to your session, absolutely. It’s better to have it and not need it than to want it but not have access to it. If your family absolutely loves the Riders and you all have personalized jerseys? Bring them. If you’re a musician and your instrument is portable, bring it with you. (If it’s something you can’t really move, like a piano, or a building or something though, let’s talk about an on location shoot!)
How far in advance do I need to book? +
Most clients book one-two weeks in advance, some show up the day the inquiry, others book a year in advance. While a year’s notice is usually not strictly necessary (aside from anything in March - March is the most ridiculous month of the year…) booking ahead definitely helps guarantee you will get a spot/time that you want.
How long does it take to get my prints/files? +
Business portraits turnaround is typically 1-3 days for individuals or small groups. Larger groups can take a week or two for really large groups. Family/pooch sessions typically have in person ordering sessions a week or two after the shoot where I will show you a curated batch of the best photos from that session, and then wall art, print and album processing generally takes 4-6 weeks.
Packages have a set number of items, but can I order more? +
Absolutely!
What kind of products do you have? +
For Family Portraits I want you to know that I am a print based studio. Everyone wants the digitals these days, that’s a given. And I want you to be able to share your images either by email for your loved ones far away or for you to share them on Facebook. But I also want you to have honest to goodness product that you can see and touch. You’re not just commissioning me to take your portrait, you’re commissioning me to capture emotion and connection with the people (or pooches) that you love most. Because someday, those portraits may be all you have left. Digital files are transitory (file types change over time) and also can be corruptible! Thumb drives can be lost or damaged (or occasionally go through the wash - true story!). Wall portraits and albums can be passed on to your loved ones.
I have a wide selection of wall art (canvases, metals, signature prints), albums, cards and a few specialty items (ornaments, jewelry, keepsake boxes etc) samples of which I can show you when you come to my studio you can see them and see the quality of the materials that you’ll want to show off to everyone who comes to visit.
Do you use a Make-up Artist or Hairstylist? +
Do you prefer to do your own make-up or would you like to be a little pampered in the hands of a professional? If you are a wizard with eyeshadow and contouring then you are more than welcome to do your own, but if not? I have a Make-up and Hair stylist who can make you look your best (and your most natural!) for an upcharge of $200. Please contact me for group rates.
Can I just swing by for a photo? +
I mean, it’s worth a shot? I’m often at the studio Monday to Friday, but as I occasionally do shoots on location, I might not be here if you just show up. 97% of sessions are by appointment, but it’s a free country so you can always show up and see what happens. May the odds ever be in your favour!
Can you do sessions on location? +
Sure can! All of my lighting equipment is portable. I’ve shot in hotel foyers, in atriums, in people’s homes or even their yards.
Do you travel for sessions? +
Within reason, yes. Travel within one hour of Regina is included. Travel beyond that is charged at a rate of $0.50 per kilometre.
Do you do weddings? +
Technically, no, Andrea Norberg Photography does not, but my OTHER company, Vows and Veils, which I own with Erin Ball of AngylRavyn Photography does micro/pop-up wedding events where we plan everything (except the party afterward) for you and your 20 closest loved ones, all for ONE PRICE.
