Step One: Scheduling Your Session
In order to reserve a date, you will sign some paperwork and pay a session fee of $199. If we haven't already, the easiest way to compare calendars is for you to email or call me with a few dates what work for you. I always try to be as flexible as possible and once we find a date booking is 100% online and takes just a few minutes. As you pull out your calendar, here are a few things to consider.
- Weekend dates are limited and popular and fill up quickly. Many clients who work regular business hours find that by scheduling early in the morning or late in the afternoon, they're able to work a session in with almost no time lost at the office.
- Late summer and fall are the busiest times of the year for outdoor family photos and senior photos. If you'd like a session during these times (especially if you want a weekend spot), please get in touch as soon as possible.
- If you have a particular date or holiday by which you need prints or gifts, be sure to book a date at least one full month in advance of that date to ensure sufficient processing and printing time.
- By far my favorite times of day to shoot are early morning or late afternoon...usually around 1.5 hours before the sunset or for the first 1.5 hours after the sun has come up.
- Beautiful photographs can be made in any kind of weather, but I understand that there are some downsides to being photographed in the pouring rain or the freezing cold. I can and do reschedule sessions for inclement weather, but am also happy to use an indoor or semi-indoor location if sticking to the schedule is a priority.
Step Two: The Session Itself
Once we've decided on a time and date and officially put your session on the books, I'll send you a getting ready guide that will walk you through everything from choosing outfits to cool prop ideas. The guide typically answers most of the questions that come up, but I'm always happy to set up a time to chat if you want additional help.
A few days before our session is scheduled, I'll reach out to confirm our time and location...at that point, if the forecast is questionable or someone seems to be coming down with the flu, we can talk about rescheduling options. Otherwise, that's the perfect time to ask any last-minute questions or or let me know if you've come up with any fun ideas we haven't discussed.
The day of the session, please block off at least 60-90 minutes. Typically we're done within 90 minutes or so, but I don't charge by the hour, so if there's some kind of wardrobe malfunction or we decide to do a random fun thing, I like to stay flexible.
Finally, take a breath and relax...It's going to be fun.
