BEFORE THE PHOTO SESSION

Before the session, please tell me your specific expectations of the photo shoot.  Serious portrait or something more loose and spontaneous?  Perhaps both? If you are doing a family session, would you also like to get in individual portraits?  If you have a specific location in mind, please tell me so I can check it out beforehand if I am unfamiliar with it.  The more prepared I am, the better the pictures will be.

If I am photographing your child, please be aware that children are best photographed after being well-rested, well-fed, and healthy.  Please be prepared and bring along anything that they might need to keep them content and comfortable - snacks, drinks, favorite toy, etc. 


THE PHOTO SESSION

On average, each session lasts one to two hours. My main style is to shoot on location - a location of your choice.  If you were thinking of a studio shot, let me know, we can work something out.

For clothing, classic is best.  Soft, neutral colors are great.  Loud prints and logos are best avoided, unless we have discussed this issue beforehand and we are going for a specific look.  Obviously, with kids, it's fun to bend the rules a bit, (like fairy wings or a crazy hat!)  But let's talk about it! 

It is probably best to bring a variety of clothes, whether it be for yourself or for your children.  Maybe one set-up can be more classic and traditional, and another set-up can be trendier and make more of a statement.

The client is responsible for appearances (besides clothes, please consider hair, and for adults, make-up).  If needed, I am happy to recommend a make-up artist that is reasonably priced.  Hopefully these will be photos you will share with everyone and look back on for years to come!  So, it is worth it to look your very best.  Even if you want to look natural, minimal make-up is recommended.


AFTER THE PHOTO SESSION

In one to two weeks after your photo session, I will email you a link to your proofs on a password protected page.  I will also send you a link to a slideshow of your best photos.  You can share these links with your family and friends!  When viewing your proofs, you will also have the choice of viewing and ordering each photo in black & white or sepia.  Your photos will remain up for viewing for a month, after which time they will be taken down.  After that, your proofs can be extended or put back up for a very small fee.

 

Looking forward to working with you!
