Personal Photo Sessions
Personal Photo Sessions are anything you want them to be!! Everything from Family Portraits, to Senior Portraits, to Fun Events. I typically like to do my photography outside, as I do not have a studio to do portraits in, but I will come to you if you want! I like to capture the natural moments and do less poses, but we can do those too!
This is the time to get creative and to bring me your ideas! My goal is to make your experience a fun and enjoyable one! When you decide to book with me, here is what you can expect!
Book Me: This is YOUR first step! At the bottom of this page is a "Book Me" button, click on it and it will take you to the Contact form to book me. Be sure to fill everything in and try to give me as much information as you can, so when we meet, I have an idea of where to start! Once you do that, I will reach out, my goal is to do so as quickly as possible, but again, we all know life can get in the way. Just know that I hope to make it with in 24 to 48 hours at the earliest and by the end of the week at the latest.
Free Consultation: As you know, not all photographers do everything, some specialize in babies, some families, some boudoir. So the first thing I will do, is reach out to you to set a time to meet with you! I want to know what you are looking for and what you are wanting. This will help me to decide how best to serve you in meeting your needs! This is also where we will discuss the project, the length of time needed and the cost. But don't get to worried! Right now, as I start to stretch my wings into the Photography world, I've made my prices affordable for you! Once we get all the details hammered out, we will book your shoot! The only thing I will require at that time is a signed contract, saying you understand what to expect and what I as a photographer need from you.
Price: Your price that I will quote you will include: Photo Session, Editing of Images, a Personal Gallery Review Meeting, your own Personal Gallery and a signed Print Release. Payment will be due at the time of the Session.
Reminders: Life gets in the way sometimes and I find that without some reminders, I tend to forget things! So, I will send you a reminder here and there about your session: The date, the time, the location, etc. I want your session to go well, I want you to enjoy yourself and make some amazing memories with your loved ones! So I will take care of the heavy lifting, all you have to do is just remember to show up ready to go!
Photo Day: Depending on when we set your time, I will send you one last reminder on the day of your session. It will be something like, "Hey! I can't wait to see you for your Photo Session later today at____ at the____! Bring your Smile and be ready to make some memories!" This helps you out, in case life decides to sneak in. You can expect to see me at the location when you show up (or if I am coming to your house, then at the decided time.), I'll be setting up my camera and getting ready to go! We will talk, go over any last minute details, get rid of those pesky butterflies, sign some releases and then the fun begins!
Your Session: Ok, so this is where the fun starts! Really! I want you to be as natural as possible, you might get some cheesy jokes here and there, but just remember to relax and have fun. Yes I will give you some direction like: walk that way, hold hands, stand this way, and of course SMILE!! But I like to try and keep that minimal, I find sometimes the best pictures are the "in the moment" and not planned shots. Of course if you want more direction, I'll be happy to help there too!
After Your Session: Afterwards, you get to head home! Take a load off, enjoy some ice cream, watch a movie, whatever you like!! While I head home and start the work of going through your session on my computer. Unfortunately, not all the images will make the cut, hey, they can't all be amazing right? So I'm looking for the really good shots, the ones that stand out, the ones that make you and your family look AMAZING, the ones that are funny and exciting, tender and loving, those are the shots I'm looking for! This can take me a few days, depending on how many images I have to look through. Once I narrow that down, then I'm going to start the editing process. Yep, I gotta make sure those colors are bright and the lighting is just right! When I'm done with that (hopefully about a week), I will email or call you (which ever you prefer) to set up a time to meet with you again for a review of your Gallery!!
Gallery Review: This is the fun part, we meet, I show you all your amazing images that made the cut! You decide which ones you want really bad and in what sizes. From there I go home, make the last round of adjustments and then load them up on your personal Gallery.
Your Gallery: Bet you didn't expect a gallery of your very own images did you? Well guess what! You get just that and it doesn't cost extra either! I'll load up all your images, when I'm done, I'll send you an email with a link, a password and a download pin. I will even text you too so you know your Gallery is ready and to check your email! Once you access your Gallery, you can download all the images you wanted in the right sizes and then you can go have them printed where you like. Unfortunately, right now, I don't have the option to provide you with actual prints, but I do hope to offer that later on this year!! I should note: if for any reason you have any problems printing your images after you download them, all you need to do is let me know and I will get you a disc of the images in your Gallery for free.
Print Release: This release says you can print your images, so be sure to take that with you, in case anyone asks! It also says you can share them on Facebook or your favorite Social Media site. The only thing you won't be able to do is remove the watermark.
