Frequently asked questions “FAQ”
We’re happy to answer all of your photography questions, and then some!
Here’s the FAQ or Frequently Asked Questions for Photo Fusion Studio.
Pricing & Quotes
Based on the cost of eggs or gas at the moment, just kidding! Each photo shoot we perform is unique. Our pricing is based on a number of factors, including:
Length of the shoot
- The length of the session
- How many photographers will be required
- Whether we are in-studio or on-location
- The amount of editing that will be involved post-production
- License or usage requests
- What types of the final product you will need (i.e. digital, print, etc.)
We provide complimentary and fast quotes, just contact us using the form on this page.
Yes, we are willing to travel, depending on the session it may incur travel fees though.
Most projects we work on are within 40 miles of downtown Phoenix, but we have traveled to different cities, states, and countries on many occasions to work on client projects.
Of course, we provide pricing on digital images individually, in packages, and with green eggs and ham.
Generally no, much like going to a restaurant you wouldn’t ask for a raw chicken or uncooked pasta. Our studio provides professional photography services which include providing the best possible final image quality.
But we have provided this for certain clients and situations for an additional fee.
Usually, this is misunderstood by clients and we blame “What to ask your photographer” guides from Pinterest and other sites for sharing false information #kiddingnotkidding. You don’t need to purchase copyright for your family photos, headshots, pictures of your bakery, etc.
When you purchase images from your headshot, family, maternity, or other portrait session we include a Print Release and Personal Usage Rights.
If you hire us for an event, commercial, or industrial photography job, we include a Print Release and Commercial Usage Rights.
Our Copyright Policy can be found here. In short, US Federal Copyright Law states that we automatically own an image we take, this mainly refers to who can sell the image but there’s also more to it. There are rare instances where clients need to purchase the full copyright of our images and yes that is available, for a substantial cost.
Really, we just wanted to see who reads this but the real answer is:
700 pounds, woah!
This is according to Researchers at Cornell determined that a woodchuck could chuck about 700 pounds: (bit.ly/cornell-woodchucks). Sep 25, 2019
Events
Of course! and we will be happy to provide proof of an insurance certificate upon request.
Absolutely! We know that many events want to drive social media or internal traffic to guests and attendees so we have a couple of options for you.
Any event photography by one of our associate photographers starts at a 1-hour minimum. Our Lead Photographer packages start at a 2-hour minimum. Contact us about your event so we can help you find photography coverage that works for your needs and budget.
Yes, our team does travel regularly for our clients. We have worked for individuals and businesses in Arizona and travel all over the US and overseas for many of our clients.
We have 3 lead event photographers plus several associates so we have covered small intimate events with less than 10 people to large-scale multi-day, multi-location events with over 1 million attendees. While the majority of the events are here locally in Phoenix, AZ, we have also covered events out of state, nationally, and internationally.
Events we regularly cover include private chef dinners, birthday parties, baptisms, mitzvahs, family reunions, community events, conferences, tradeshows, and sporting events.
Keep in mind — if you want the best, you’ll need to book well in advance as our calendar tends to fill up quickly!
Well, we do have a handy guide to help you hire an event photographer. We can email that to you now, just enter your contact information below.
Portraits
Of course, we provide pricing on digital images individually, in packages, and with green eggs and ham.
Generally no, much like going to a restaurant you wouldn’t ask for a raw chicken or uncooked pasta. Our studio provides professional photography services which includes providing the best possible final image quality.
BUT we have provided this for certain clients and situations for an additional fee.
Absolutely! To date our largest group photo was 352 people, yes we counted. From a small family, or small business to a large event staff team photo, we have you covered.
Sometimes people just need 1-2 photos for a Christmas card or company newsletter. Sometimes a family needs a quick photo session done before their high school graduate leaves for college. No matter the reason, we offer a limited amount of cost and time-effective sessions throughout the year.
If you interested in knowing when these sessions are, just sign-up for our mini-session alerts her.
In short, think of a headshot as what you use on your LinkedIn profile photo. A personal branding image is what you use on a postcard, website hero image, or a press release.
We also take branding images of products as well. A simple product image is on a white background (think e-commerce) whereas a branding image is a product highlighted in an environment or with a model. It’s what you use for a website hero image, a marketing brochure, or a sales pitch deck.

Headshots
Of course, we do!
How many do you need? We have packages that include one to ten. You can also add additional images to any package or session.
One thing that really separates Photo Fusion Studio from others is that you immediately see your images on a large-screen TV as they are taken. This helps immensely when trying to see if your clothing or hair is in place.
We’ll take as many photos as we need so that you and our photographer are both confident that there are plenty of quality photographs to choose from.
We often have clients say they wished they had their makeup professionally done, but we’ve never had a client say they wish they did their own makeup.
We work with professional makeup artists that are familiar with business headshots so they make sure you look normal and natural on camera.
In-studio we have several to choose from, we often use the outside or on-location for environmental headshots, or we’re also very experienced in matching backgrounds for companies where the employees are all over the US and world.
Yes, we can take our mobile headshot studio to your office or another location in Phoenix, Arizona, or out-of-state.
