From Start to Finish
CONSULTATION
So you feel like we are an excellent match? Amazing! But what’s next? Well the start of this experience is a free 30-60 minute consultation. Under the contact section, you’ll be able to fill out a form. From there, we will meet to discuss everything from the type of session, to the vision, and the business side of it all. After the initial consultation, if you do decide to book with me, a final contract will be drawn up. A non-refundable retainer fee of $50 is required in addition to signing of the contract before any photographic services are performed. This retainer holds the time slot allotted for you and guarantees my time and dedication to you. Once all minimum requirements are met, it’s time for the fun to begin!
PRE-SHOOT PERIOD
We are working as a team from here on out to ensure we both exceed each other’s expectations. Over this period, I will gather a shot list and work on the shoot's creative aspect. I am always open to ideas. If you have any ideas as far as poses, please feel free to send them to me via email and I will incorporate them into my personal shot list.
Another important part of our creative collaboration is the styling. The props will be discussed during the initial consult to decide who can bring what and will be listed within the contract. The styling is completely up to you and whatever you are comfortable with. I will always give suggestions as to what I personally would work well with your vision. Clients are responsible for their own styling otherwise.
I always encourage coordination to some degree for more cohesive composition of the photographs. This shoot is an investment and I want you to feel your best. You can dress up or dress down, whatever makes your comfortable. If you need help finding hair/makeup artists, please let me know as soon as possible so I can find some referrals for you!
SHOOTING DAY
The time is finally here! The magic can truly begin.
The most important thing is timeliness. Please arrive as close to the shooting time as possible. I want to ensure there is plenty of time to make all your photo shoot dreams come true.
Please be sure to have all props, outfits, and people with you and ready to go. I do recommend bringing weather extras as I call them. Things like umbrellas, jackets, mini fans, and water bottles in the case of hot weather. I recommend bringing any snacks just in case!
I always recommend bringing an extra outfit just in case there is a spill, fall or rip. To all my ladies with heels, I would bring a pair of comfortable shoes in case we will be outdoors walking around. Bringing your makeup is always a great idea for touch-ups throughout the shoot (which I can help with as I do my makeup often).
POST SHOOT / EDITS AND DELIVERY
Now that all the excitement has calmed down from the photo shoot, now all you have to do is relax! Please allow 2-4 weeks for editing time (this may very on my overall business and amount of photos).
Once I have finished all the photos, they will be uploaded to Pic Time for an online gallery for two months. From there you are able to download the allotted amount of photos. Additionally, you can order print directly through Pic Time as well! And there you have it. Your beautiful memories that you can share with your loved ones. I genuinely want to thank you in advanced for working with me to achieve your vision.
