Pre-Session Consultation for Senior or Individual Portraits
It is our standard policy to have a Pre-Session Consultation with all our High School Senior or individual Portrait Session clients. We know this not always easy with everyone’s busy schedules but we have found that it serves both you as the client and our studio best if we can discuss all the options available to you and answer all your questions ahead of time.
We will:
Senior Session/Print Package information
Scheduling of Session times, locations, and any official correspondence are all done by email or text message rather than over the phone so that both parties have the plans in writing to refer to. It is important that you check your messages leading up to your session, and please reply promptly. Outdoor sessions are light and weather dependent and can sometimes shift as needed to get the best light and locations.
We request that no “behind the scenes” photos be taken during our Session without our knowledge. This includes cell phone shots or selfies. Many times during the session things are quite hectic in the studio with props being moved around, backdrops being shuffled and it does not always give a flattering appearance of the studio.
Please make all attempts to leave children who are not part of the photo session with a family member or other person you trust. We have found that many times another child often causes distractions for the one being photographed. Also, we have a lot of expensive props and equipment in the studio that we need to be careful of.
Family & Group Sessions
Session/Print Package information
A lot of creativity and planning goes into preparing for your session; the location, equipment needed, time, prep, additional help, and the amount of editing is very different for a portrait session than a family session. If you have a particular place in mind for your group session, please let us know as soon as possible, we normally like to check the site out before the actual session.
Depending on the number of subjects to be photographed, a "Large Group" fee may be required. Any last-minute subjects to be included in the session may incur an additional fee.
For families and groups the number of people to be photographed and their ages of all children, and any sub-groups must be discussed and agreed upon before you are put on the calendar and pay the Session Fee ahead of the scheduled session to determine the best options to create the best possible portrait for you.
All Sessions
Weather
Your outdoor session is dependent on weather conditions including rain or heavy snow, excessively high wind, or intense cold. In case of inclement weather, your session will be rescheduled A.S.A.P. Normally we do not reschedule your session for humidity, strong breezes, or light snow.
Photo Reveal and Ordering Session for Portraits
Once your images are edited and ready to view, they will be uploaded to a secure section of our website here https://dashboard.pixieset.com/website/pages/2WPZyG. Only you will have access to these galleries by a link and password which will be sent to you. You may share this link and password with whomever you choose.
After you have a chance to preview the images we will set up an appointment to come in and place your order so we can answer all questions and show you what products you’ll be getting. Please come prepared with any measurements for your portrait needs. You are always welcome to add additional prints and products at a future date, but your initial order must be placed at the end of your viewing session. The balance from your original Session/Print Package choice will be due at this time.
At the Viewing and Ordering Session, you will be able to view all your images on a large screen in a casual setting in our studio. Please let us know how many people to expect for your viewing session and arrange childcare for young children, please try to limit the number of those attending to four. We have limited seating and we want to make sure everyone is comfortable. We normally will provide some snacks and non-alcoholic drinks.
