Outdoor Photography Information
Weather
Please be aware that outdoor photography completely depends on the weather. Obviously we all hope for a beautiful sunny day, but sometimes that just isn't possible. I can shoot in the heat and the cold, with sun, clouds or snow. However, if it's raining or storming, I will be unable to risk my equipment as I'm sure you won't be very willing to brave the conditions. If the weather doesn't cooperate, I recommend having a backup/rain plan. If you have a portrait session scheduled with Dabo's Fotos, we MAY be able to use Dabo's Fotos home studio (can accomedate up to 4 subjects) but this must be addressed before the date of the session if you wish to use Dabo's Fotos' home studio. The final decision of whether the portrait shoot occurs must be made no less than 2 hours prior to the start time of the session. You may reschedule ONE time, however please be aware that rescheduling your shoot depends on my availability.
Locations
When choosing your location, please be aware that many privately and publicaly run parks and forest preserves require photography and / or parking permit fees. These permits can range anywhere from $20 - $200. These permit fees are not covered in any price quoted by Dabo's Fotos. The permit fees will be tacked onto the final price. Be aware that many places require pre-approval (usually 3-5 business days but could be a few weeks) prior to the day of the shoot. Below is a list of popular shoot locations and their permit fees.
