Portrait Photography

Personal Portrait Photography is posing for photos when the product will be for your personal, private use only. That includes couples, engagements, weddings, group and class photos, quinceañera, graduation and senior pictures, maternity, baby, family portraits and similar occasions, and applies even when the photographer is a friend, family member, or other non-professional, paid or not.

Photos for blogs, websites and social media platforms; headshots, and portfolio work are not considered personal portraits and must be arranged separately. Commercial Still Photography requirements will apply. Visit FilmHuntington.org for more information.
