The Journey
Thank you so much for exploring with us. We take a limited amount of clients per month. This allows us to focus on each client individually. It also means we sell out most months. We offer seasonal mini sessions, family sessions, weddings, births, corporate, and senior sessions- as well as volunteering at community events.
Consultation
For all full sessions, we start each booking with a pre-consultation meeting. This is where we go over your plans for the session- the location, outfits and package ideas. This allows us to have a clear vision of what we are shooting. Then we go scouting for a location to fit your needs, if you have suggestions, feel free to share, although we will choose the best location we can find based on lighting, space, and desired look, which sometimes may differ from your suggestion.
Day of
We will typically meet at the location and on time! Our sessions are always planned around the sun. Showing up late means we might not have enough light for the entire session. We do a combination of posed and lifestyle shots and just have fun! I will arrive early to find the best spots to shoot. We also will take a few minutes to chat and get comfortable. If you have kiddos allow them to be ornery as long as you are smiling through it we will get some amazing shots. DONT BE AFRAID TO BRIBE THEM!! Also available are hair and makeup, so if this is something you are interested in, please give me plenty of time to schedule appropriately.
After Session
Most sessions, images will be emailed to you in an online gallery. If ordering, and a viewing is needed, we will schedule the viewing within a month of the shoot and have a viewing, rating and ordering session.
Once your order is placed we will start working on the images. Orders can take between 2 weeks to a month depending on the items you purchase and the time of year.
