How do I take good portraits?

Digital Photography FAQ
Use longer focal lengths instead of shorter (telephoto instead of wide angle). This will make your subject's face more natural and less bulbous. Use a wide aperture for shallow depth of field. This will focus attention on your subject and not your background. Try to achieve even illumination by exploiting natural light. If you can't use natural light, then use studio lights and/or multiple flashes and/or a bounce flash.

Debbie Adams Photography: About Us
Our home-based studio can provide a lovely outdoor backdrop of greenery or we can use a painted background depending on the portrait style preferred. Because of the size of our outdoor area, we are limited to one to six people. Larger groups must be taken on location. We can suggest many beautiful locations around Santa Barbara that are suitable at various times of day.

Should the bride and groom see each other before the ceremony for portraits?

Wedding Photography FAQ - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANS...
Don't worry this unless you want lots of portrait groupings or combinations which involve the bride and groom in the same picture. I firmly believe that couples who are opposed to a pre-ceremony photo session in wedding attire, for whatever reason, should not be pressured, coerced, or embarrassed into it. But they must also be made aware of the consequences with respect to picture results or impact on the flow of the day.

Do you do portraits of people?

Aviation Artist: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
you can see, I have a lot of experience with both the Aviation Artwork as well as the House Portraits. This is because I done hundreds and had a lots of practice. This is not true of human portraits. Since I don't normally do portaits, each one is a challenge and is new territory for me and my skills. Some I have done in the past have come out very well, and some, even after multiple tries, just fail to capture the essense of the subject.

Unfortunately in California, the school districts are contracted with certain chain studios and you have to go their if you want your picture in your yearbook. This does not mean that you have to buy any of their prints.
