Andrew Poertner - Award Winning Photographer

FAQ

How do I shoot with you?

It's easy! Fill out my short google form, picking a type of photoshoot you would like, as well as a date and location, and we will get it on the calendar!

Where are you based?

I am based near St. Louis, Missouri, and can travel within a reasonable distance to get to your perfect location!

Can I have more than one outfit?

Yes! I offer three photo packages with 1 outfit, 1-2 outfits, and 3+ outfits. I encourage you to bring any and all outfits you would like photos in for the third package, and I would be glad to help choose themes or colors in relation to the chosen location!

What kinds of photoshoots do you do?

I excel in a wide variety of shoots! I love taking portraits, whether that be for seniors or just a creative shoot. I also have experience in couples photoshoots, weddings, nature, and more! Just reach out to me if you have any questions about a specific idea, and we can make it work!

Do you do studio photos?

Yes! I have a small studio in my living space for portraits, headshots, editorial shoots and more! I use studio lighting and equipment / props to get your exact desired result! Want to shoot on location instead? Sounds good, too!

How do you edit your photos?

When editing photos, I aim for realistic, bright, and colorful images. I do not retouch images unless it is specifically requested that they be retouched (i.e. fix out of places hairs, sweat, or blemishes). If you would like some or all images retouched, please choose "yes" when prompted in the form so that I can make sure you get the results you are looking for at the start of the editing process.

How many photos do I get?

I charge per shoot, and not by the number of final images sent. I want you to get all the images possible out of a shoot to ensure you are happy with them, and that every moment is captured and remembered. However, I do not allow access to unedited images or all images from a shoot for the sake of being proud of the edited images that are posted by clients rather than unedited versions, as well as storage space concerns.

What if I'm not sure when I want to shoot?

That is totally fine! I understand more than many how life can change at moments notice. If you have a date in mind, thats perfect! If not, we can start by planning a certain season, or month you may be available and play it by ear. I am always flexible and would love to work with you!

Do I have to order prints through you?

Currently, I do not offer printed photos, but you are free to print the photos from the digital files I will send to you once edited, after the shoot! For sports banners, printed vinyl banners are available for an added fee, or you can print the digital files yourself as well.
