The Portrait Experience
How does it work?
I approach every photo session with a desire to tell your story. I take pride in the artwork that I create for every individual and family which is why I work with my clients to create a beautiful product in the end. I take the time to talk with my clients about what they have in mind for their portrait session, educating my clients on the importance of printing artwork. Having a flash drive full of digital images sitting in a drawer is not the best use of your photo session investment, but unfortunately without a professional guide to show you what we can create with your images, most folks do exactly that! It’s my desire to provide your family with stunning displays of your images. Your portraits need to be enjoyed by everyone to see for generations to come! If you’re ready to start building your story through photos, give me a call at 336-991-7710.
Step #1
Consultation
One of the very first steps in planning your portrait session is your consultation. Whether you are a high school senior or a mom wanting updated family photos - this is where I get to know you, and you get to know me! We will meet at your home and chat about your session and any artwork vision you may already have. We will measure your walls and begin to discuss the perfect design for final artwork selections. We will also discuss things like session location, styling and wardrobe. We will decide where and when your session will take place and schedule your session. A $225 creation fee is required at this time to reserve your session.
*Hair & makeup services are available as an add on to your session.
Step #2
Your Session
When your session day arrives we will meet at the pre-planned location we decided on during your consultation. I prefer to photograph my portrait sessions during the golden hours of the morning or late afternoon. Not only is the light best during these times, but it allows cooler temps for sessions booked in the hotter NC months. We will decide which time of day is best for everyone in your family, especially if you have little ones. We want to do our best to have everyone well rested with full tummies and snacks on hand as needed.
If it is an outdoor location and there is a weather threat, don’t worry, we will reschedule your session for a time that is convenient for everyone.
Step #3
Gallery Reveal & Ordering Appointment
Here comes the exciting part! About 2 weeks after your session, I will meet with you again in person where you will see all of your images for the very first time in a professionally edited custom slideshow movie and decide on which wall art design or albums you would like to purchase. We will confirm sizes and determine what fits best in your home. I will also have all of my frame samples for you to choose from to put the finishing touches on your favorite images.
Step #4
Delivery Day
In about 4-6 weeks your artwork and custom products will arrive at the studio! Your artwork will be hand delivered to your home and can even be installed right on the spot, free of charge.
