Lets Talk About
How It Works
Planning & Brainstorming
Every great portrait experience starts with booking an appointment for a photo session. This is where you will schedule an appointment for the date that you would like your shoot to take place.
The next part of the planning process is sharing your vision of what kind of photos you're looking for: dark and moody, or airy and light. Is it going to be themed? Or just a lovely yearly shoot to keep the photo books updated? We'll discuss the ins and outs - what to wear and what not to wear - so we can cover all the bases and you'll fall in love with what we create together.
After we complete steps 1 and 2 and before the photo shoot, I’ll give you a link to our client agreement for you to review and sign. This will outline what to expect and how to have a successful session. It will also permit or deny us the ability to use photos from your session on the website or social media pages to brag about how wonderful you are.
Day Of The Shoot
Before we start shooting your portraits, we’ll have a pre-game meeting on not being nervous, enjoying the moment, and just being you! We’ll go over some poses, and I’ll take some practice shots to adjust the camera settings to produce the best images no matter the conditions.
Are you a blinker, or don’t know what to do? No problem! I take many photos during a session, and I’ll guide you on where to go and give you tips along the way. The most important thing to remember is, just act natural. You got this!
A few things to remember, no matter if we are at a park, a public area, or our studio.
- Please don’t litter.
- If you have children, Please make sure they don’t break anything.
- Remember that some areas are off-limits.
- Respect your surroundings.

Editing & Delivery
Usually, turn around time is 7-10 days after the shoot to present photos for proofing. I will cull through and edit the best photos from your session. Once the session is finished, I will upload them to your secure online photo gallery.
This step includes going to your private online gallery to select the photos you want to keep. If your session is originally for five photos and you want more, don’t worry, you can purchase additional photos.
Here’s what’s next, after you proof your photos, I’ll replace the proofing photos with the full-sized digital print release version so you can download them to keep. I’ll also go over all of the printing options so you can have the absolute perfect image for your wall.
