WHAT TO EXPECT
1. Pre-session consult
Our first phone chat or e-mail correspondence, this is when we discuss your goals for the session, the products you envision for your home, the session location and wardrobe plan. I will also provide you with my Complete Portrait Questionnaire to fill out. This information will ensure we are all on the same page for an easy, relaxed session and it helps me to anticipate the parts of your personality that you want me to capture the most. Session fee and signed session agreement are due at the time of booking to confirm your date on the calendar. Session fee is non-refundable but may be applied as a one time courtesy to a rescheduled session with a cancellation notice no less than 24 hours.

2. Wardrobe selection
Clothing and styling is very important in these sessions. If you need help with clothing choices, I am happy to consult! Please feel free to email me with quick phone snaps of clothing options. I recommend working from a palette of 2-3 colors that will work well with your session location and your home decor. I would suggest you bring about three outfits for your child.

3. Portrait session
Please be ready to go at your session time. Let kids know we will be having a fun time together! We will shoot for approximately up to two hours and then I will hand edit and prep your images for our order session, which takes place in 2-3 weeks after your session date. I will carefully go through all the photographs and spend several hours working on them in order to make sure your child looks their best. After the shooting I will introduce you to my product gallery, which explains all your product options in depth, with stunning imagery.

How long will my fine art portrait session last? A fine art portrait session usually takes up to 2 hours as I aim to have a relaxed session with you with no time pressure. As mother of two young children I am well aware that children need time. So if they need a break - we take one. I do not overbook myself so that I have plenty of time to dedicate to your family. This is also usually dependent on the age of the children. Younger children will often need more time than say teenagers.
What if my child is ill? If you or your child is ill, then I'd ask you to let me know as soon as possible and we can postpone your session. We wouldn't dream of forcing a sick child to have a photo shoot, as this would be miserable for everyone involved. I want you and your child to feel your best so I can get a beautiful set of images for you.
Do you offer framing, fine art prints and other tangible products? Yes, the true treasure of every portrait session is the creation of beautiful custom portraits to display in your home. I offer a wide range of heirlooms to preserve your most cherished memories for a lifetime. You might be interested to have a look at this professionally designed fine art prints box or here I walk my clients through the whole range of products I offer at the moment.
