step one: the pre-session consultation

Regardless of which type of session you’re in need of, a consultation is a must. Each session receives a complimentary consultation to ensure that we have the portrait experience you desire. It’s important for us to meet so we can talk about your vision for the session. This is the perfect time to discuss location ideas, clothing & color schemes, as well as what you’d like the end result to be.

step two: reserve the date

Once you’ve decided that you’d love to work with us, call or email us to reserve your date. Once booked, we will customize your session by phone or by email. We will send you a link to review your customized package, an online contract for you to sign, and a link to pay your non-refundable retainer to secure your date. Once the retainer is paid and your contract signed, you’re booked and ready to go! You’ll receive an email confirming the date, time and location as well as some helpful tips on how to prepare for your session!

step three: the session

The next step is the actual session! We will meet at a location of your choice and have fun documenting and creating priceless pieces of your story

During your session, we like to provide enough direction so that you feel confident and at ease. Yet, we also try to stay out of the way when we can, to try and capture all those candid in-between moments. We try to get a good combination of posed and candid shots, combining your wishes with our ideas & knowledge. We want you to have many options to choose from to display in your home.

The length of your session will depend on what type of session it is. For most sessions, we have found that an hour is usually the perfect amount of time to capture what we need while not losing the attention span of children (or spouses ). You can also check out our FAQ page if you have more questions about your session.

 

step four: the reveal

Typically within 2 weeks from your session date, the session will be available to view online. This is where you’ll be able to view and download your images.

Although not required, we do offer physical products to display your images. Wall art, an album, gift prints or a portfolio box are our most popular products. We can even help you figure out the best way to arrange them on your wall and what groupings would look best. There is no need to feel stressed or overwhelmed. We are here to help you every step of the way!
