We will attempt to work with you as soon as conveniently possible both for you and our staff.

What is traditional posing versus photojournalism?
This question is most commonly asked by couples exploring photography options for their upcoming wedding. And, the question of traditional versus journalistic styles of photography is really an issue of personal taste and preference.

Traditional posing is exactly what the phrase “posing” implies. In this style of photography the photographer generally poses the majority, if not the entire, collection of portraits taken at a specified event (ie: wedding). Conversely, a journalistic approach to photography encompasses a more candid and “in-the-moment” photographic style. A true photojournalist would pose nothing, but rather photograph a chain of events simply as they occurred with minimal,
or no, interaction with the subject(s).

Many couples exploring options for photographic coverage of their wedding often settle on a mix of both styles, mixing both the traditional posed and the journalistic approach for truly unique coverage of their special day.

Can I select which backgrounds I want for my portraits?
Yes. You may choose from a variety of background selections in our studio which may be used for your portrait session. Or, if you wish, our staff can suggest backgrounds which may be most beneficial and/or complimentary to your specific portrait needs. And, of course we enjoy sessions in which we create a variety of poses on different backgrounds within a portrait collection.

May I have portraits taken in my home or at an alternative location?
Yes. If you wish to have portraits taken at your home or an alternative location other than the Wibben Photography studio our staff will assist you in scheduling and planning your portrait session. Our staff may also have alternative suggestions for on-location work which may also peek your interests. Please be advised that on-location sessions may only be offered on specific days and additional fees may apply. Please call for further information.

When will my portraits be ready?
Some portraits, such as single studio shots or memory sheets, may be available within 1-2 weels. Standard studio or on-location portraits, however, are generally available within 3-4 weeks from the date of your session. Wedding portraits, albums and custom framing may also require additional preparation time.

Is the studio available for my specific event date?
Please call our studio at 715.389.1751 to inquire about availability for a specific date for weddings, on-location family or senior portraits. You may also e-mail inquiries to dwibben@wibbenphotography.com and your request will be answered as soon as conveniently possible.

Does the studio provide special offers or
promotional packages?
Yes. Our studio regularly offers promotional specials for portrait packages. Promotional packages are generally priced from $19.95 to $69.95 and change regularly. In addition, discount offers are occasionally available.
Watch our web-site for seasonal specials and discount offers.

May I bring my own props for a studio session?
Yes. When preparing for your portrait session we encourage guests to bring along specific items which may represent their personality. When working with young children it may also be important for the child to have a familiar toy, or blanket, available during the session. If you have any specific questions regarding the use of an item you may wish to be photographed with, please ask our friendly staff when making your appointment.

Does the studio photograph pets?
Yes, within reason. Animals may be brought into the Wibben Photography studio for either individual portraits or posed with their owner. It is prefered that animals be 25 pounds or lighter and the pet must be housebroken and well behaved. All pets must be brought into the studio in pet carriers and remain their until their session.
