Questions most frequently asked of creative team- Darrell Pierson and his wife Sherry.

"Do you ever photograph people who don’t look like ‘models’?"
"What does a model look like? When you see your proof sheets for the first time you are looking at a model. For many people this is the first time they’ve viewed themselves from this perspective. And inevitably they’re pleased! This is our profession, and why we love what we do."

"Do you retouch your photos?"
"Limited digital retouching is included in the price of our prints. When we get together to look at your proof sheets we’ll look for direction from you on retouching".

"Who is your typical customer?"
"While we specialize in photographing women we also photograph men and couples. Our clients range in age from 20 to 67 but the median age is probably mid thirties.

We think of our photography as affirmation photography- celebrating yourself, your relationship, your accomplishments- a gift to yourself or someone else. (A wedding gift to a new husband, a 30th or 40th birthday gift to yourself, because you’re not getting any younger, because you’re special just the way you are, because your partner would love it, because you’ve always wanted to do something like this and finally there is a safe place to do it!)

"Do I have to worry about my pictures showing up on your website?"
Absolutely not. No photographs are used by us without a model release.

"I’m interested. What do I do next?"
"The next step in the process is getting together for an informal consultation which generally takes a half hour. We’ll show you samples of other bodyscape photographs and exchange ideas based upon the direction and look you want to portray. We’ll talk about studio versus outdoor settings, listen to your opinions and concerns, and share our ideas. It’s important that you feel comfortable and that we have a mutual understanding of the direction you want your bodyscape photo session to take. Most people schedule their shooting date at this time."

"How many pictures do you typically shoot at a bodyscape photo session?"
"During a typical bodyscape photo session we shoot between 60-75 images with the photo session lasting between 1 1/2 to 2 hours."

"Do you only do nude photography?"
"Heavens no! It’s your special day and what you choose to wear is up to you."
