Investment in Memories

Hey, there are so many special moments in our lives. Some are obvious milestones, others are more subtle and equally cherished and beautiful . My approach to senior photos & portraits is to capture emotional connection while documenting an important point in time for my clients. In terms of your investment, I believe folks should have stylish, high-quality, professional photos without worrying about their budget. I have pricing that I think will make my beautiful awesome clients happy. 😊

1. LETS TALK!

Before you hire me for your portraits, let's chat to see if we're a good fit for what you want to do. I want to get a feel for the the kinds of images you're looking for and any other expectations you have for me as your photographer.

2. HAVE QUESTIONS?

In addition to a chat, text anytime. This will answer most questions that you may have. Still need more info? No worries! Let's get in touch and chat!

3. BOOKING & INVESTMENT

If you are someone that values photography and are willing to make an investment into a full service, customized experience that produces heirloom quality photographic art work then I'm here for you!!!
Once you decide to book a session, you will be sent a digital Session Agreement that we will both sign and a link to an invoice to pay the minimum order. Once both are received, you are officially booked! Awesome!

4. SESSION PREP

After we've agreed to work together, you'll receive a portrait session questionnaire (i.e. for my Senior and Portrait Sessions) for you to fill out with information I will need for the session. This helps me to prepare and stay organized.
I will schedule an internet conference call several days before the session to plan the session and to go over our Style Guide. This Style Guide will help you with determining what to wear. This is an important part of my service, so I want to be sure to go over the Guide with you if possible. It will also be an opportunity for you to share ideas or concepts that you may want to incorporate into the planning of the session.

5. THE SESSION

The time of session will try to be planned around the time of day that has the best lighting. This is usually early in the day just after sunrise and later in the day just before sunset.
I try to arrive early if the location is new to me so that I can spend some time scouting the location looking for interesting places to shoot your portraits. I want to start the session as soon as possible after you arrive and get settled.

There is usually one type of session:
- A full session should be about 1-1.5 hours.

6. THE EDIT & POST-PRODUCTION

In the days following the Session, I will cull the images to produce the edited images for the session. The edit is taken through our post-production processes where I will then do a standard retouch on each of these images. I will notify you when the images have finished post-production.

7. THE ORDERING SESSION

This is the fun part!! You will now get to see the images from the session.

- I do offer an online-gallery for portrait-sessions. But I prefer in person ordering sessions because I can help guide you through culled images. However this is subject to change because of current circumstances in the world.
- I prioritize printed images over digital images. Any image that you buy as a print you will also receive a complimentary digital file for that print.

8. PRINTS, ALBUMS, & DELIVERABLES

Product delivery varies depending on vendors. Most products can be delivered 2-3 weeks after the order is placed with the vendor. Albums can take longer usually 4-6 weeks after ordering. Most times, album orders are first delivered to me for a QA check and I will let you know if the order is ready and arrange for pick-up or prepare and ship it for delivery to you.

9. THE FUTURE

I'll be there for you as we continue life's journey. I will be around for your future portraits needs, let's keep in touch!
