Wondering what to expect when booking with me?
first things first
You’ll choose your desired date for your portrait session & we’ll get together for an in-home style and concept consultation. This can be done by zoom as well.
Design Consultation
Upon booking, I’ll send a welcome guide that will have any info you need in one place. Once you’ve had a chance to look it over and get an idea of the products and collections that are available, we’ll schedule your in-home style and design appointment to finalize the details of your session and select your photo package. I will need some information about the location I’ll be setting up in your home to plan out your session and photo styling. This can be done over zoom, but is much easier in person if you’re local to me.
Portrait Session
Where the magic happens!
Portrait selection and UPGRADES
After the session, you’ll be able to see your photos right away.
Signature sessions typically start at 20 photos, but if you didn’t choose a bigger package at booking, you can upgrade your photo package at anytime until your product order is finalized.
You’ll have a few options for payment, such as my in-house interest-free automatic payment plan leading up to your session (with automated incremental payments for up to 4 months). I also offer PayPal credit, which allows you to make interest free purchases for 6 months upon approval by them (please check with PayPal for their terms). And of course, I accept all major credit cards and cash.Â
Retouching • Viewing • selecting
If at all possible, you’ll be able to see your photos right after the session while my assistant packs up. In particularly long sessions where baby might be overstimulated, we’ll do the selection process over zoom. Your photos will be unedited at this point, but I can show you wall art sized to scale on your own walls while I’m there, and once your selected photos are edited, I’ll send you an album proof with your digital files that we can make changes to over zoom, if needed.
Product pickup
Your photos are an investment and an heirloom that should not be rushed. Please allow up to 6 weeks for your order to be completed. Please expect a slight delay with albums from mid-fall through the holiday season. If you’re local, I’ll reach out as soon as everything is available for pickup. Otherwise, your portraits will be shipped to you. If digitals are included in your package, they will be delivered in an online gallery 3 weeks after your selection appointment.
