Ask yourself this: why do you want to have portraits taken? What's the story that you want to tell? What feelings do you have at point in your life that you want to remember later? Let’s work together to create a custom session that can best reflect your personal story at this meaningful point in your life.
The Experience:
Before the Session
I know how stressful it can be to coordinate photos—there are outfits to choose, a location to select, and so many expectations to live up to, right?
Take a deep breath, because I’m here to help. When you choose your session date, you’ll get immediate access to my styling service. We will discuss who is in the session, the general style you’re looking for and the color schemes you like.
Along with the styling service, that I provide! We will also get to walk you through ideas for incorporating your finished images into your home as artwork (wall art and other printed keepsakes). If you’re hoping to ONLY download your files, throw a few on Facebook and then put them in a drawer somewhere never to be seen again, I’m just not the photographer for you, my dear.
To me, a photographer’s job isn’t done until she’s helped you do something with the photos.
I’ll also have you send me photos of your walls before your session so I know a bit about your style. You’ll receive complimentary wall design ideas after your session.
During the Session
Depending on the age of session participants, I’ll use a mix of prompts and movement to get natural photos. For very young children, I like to focus on play-based photography and movement (little ones aren’t always known for sitting still, so I like to capture them as they are so you can remember their spunky little selves). Bring along a favorite toy or activity, and I will focus on the family interacting and playing together.
In-home sessions are a popular way to capture small moments of your day-to-day lives to look back on. Choose a favorite book to read to your child, play dress-up, or play together with a few of your child’s favorite toys.
After the Session
About seven to ten days after your photo session, you’ll get to view and download your your beautiful images that are perfect resolution for social media. We can discuss the High Resolution images that come with your package as well as if you would like any other digital images as well choosing your BIG Print image that comes with your package.
