OUR PROCESS
4 STEPS TO AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE
From planning to installation, we’ve got you covered with a full service experience. Although each session is unique and might not follow this process exactly (especially commercial projects) this is a general guide for how our process works. It all starts by filling out the contact box below so we can get started.
Discovery Session
The first step is a fun one: daydreaming & planning your session. Bring your big ideas and Pinterest boards, and we’ll figure it all out. From what to wear to what products you might want these images in, I’ll answer all of your questions so you feel comfortable and excited to proceed. We’ll go over my investment guide so there are no surprises when it comes time to order digitals & products. We can do this over Zoom or together at the studio.
Photo Session
The second step is the session itself. We’ll meet either at the studio or on location (or a bit of both!). If you’ve booked a Luxe Session, it will start with hair & makeup for yourself and the other ladies who might be in on the fun. If you booked a Simple Session, we’ll jump right in with the photos. During our session we’ll get a variety of looks, change wardrobe a few times, and style a variety of images so you’ve got a good mix to choose from at the Ordering meeting.
Viewing & Ordering
The third step is probably the one you’ll be most exited for, the time see all the lovely images we created at the shoot. If we have time we can do this straight away after the shoot or schedule a meeting a few days later. We’ll review a gallery of 25+ images together and decide how we’d like to display & keep them. During this session we do make the financial decisions so please have everyone present who needs to be there.
Installation & Follow-Up
By now we’ve wrapped up our time together. If you’ve ordered a Wall Art Series and aren’t sure or don’t have time to hang it, just let us know. We offer full installation as a complimentary service for you. It’s all about the little details, and that’s what we pride ourselves in keeping. If you have any other hiccups along the way, just reach out! We have all of your purchased images digitally backed up. Also know that past clients come first, so the next time you need a photography session you’ll be our priority.
INVESTMENT
RESERVE YOUR DATE WITH A RETAINER
Once we’ve had a chance to ask questions and get a feel for our process, the next step is to simply schedule your session with Emily!
We require a $500 retainer* along with a signed Client Agreement Form to book your session. Depending on the session you choose, a part or all of this retainer will be applied directly to your final order. This retainer is non-refundable, but it is transferrable if for some reason we need to cancel our session date.
*Certain Primary photo dates, such as Saturdays in Sept/Oct, may require a higher retainer
