WHAT TO EXPECT
SO THERE'S NO SURPRISESSo, you're interested in booking a session with me!! YAYY!! Maybe you've even submitted an inquiry already (double YAYY) but you're wanting a bit more information about how this all works. Totally understand that, I too like to be fully informed on what to expect throughout an experience like this! Whether this is your first time booking a professional photoshoot or you've booked with me before, my mission is to make sure this experience is everything you expect out of your investment and more!
First things first,
I'm sure you're curious about who you might be booking with, aka me.
Otherwise,
here are some quick bullet points
to give you an idea of who you're booking with:
- Fun and lively. I'll hype you up & help you feel comfortable
- Huge nerd.
- A potty mouth (I try and watch my mouth around littles).
- I believe in good energy and vibes.
- Part of the coffee lovers community, not the leader or anything just a participant.
- Big fan of quoting random movies and TikToks.
- Avid gardener. iykyk.
- Massive lover of all living things.
- Decent breeze lover. Big wind hater. If I do a session in the wind with you just know ily.
Also,
here is an idea of what you get when you book with me:
- Extra large digital/downloadable gallery
- Natural poses AND editing
- Easy and gentle guidance and tips throughout our session.
- Beautiful memories that are in tune with you and your vibes.
- Help and assistance with everything from location choice to outfit options.
- A lot of "ohhmygoshhh"'s & "SOO GOOD!!!"'s during our sessions
- Honesty- I will tell you when you look weird (in a nice way) and will fix your hair and hands and always help you feel (and therefore look) your best.
Getting Booked
The first step in getting booked is to submit an inquiry. I typically respond via email in 48hrs or less. We will discuss best forms of contact & can even schedule a 'get to know me' phone call as well! We will work together to secure a date & sort through basic session details. I will then send you a proposal & contract. Once that is signed & a retainer is paid you are considered BOOKED & the real fun can start!
Planning the Session
One of my favorite parts! Depending on session type I may send you a questionnaire or just ask a few simple questions to better understand your needs. Together, we go over ALL the details pertaining to your session (i.e. vibes, style, outfits, posing & more!) I even offer styling assistance to help you feel prepared & coordinated! I personally create a custom vision board for you to use as reference for poses & more! The week before your session we will confirm time & location.
During Our Session
By this point you should feel prepared and EXCITED!! We will meet at a designated spot & walk to our location together. I can be a high energy girly when needed bukeep the vibes light throughout our entire time together. I help guide you into natural poses & also give fun prompts to help you loosen up. I often prefer to take a "fly on the wall" approach to allow natural moment to prosper but am always there to help & guide you.
We will take some behind the scenes for my social media (if I remember haha) & an end-of-session selfie to commemorate our time together!! Be prepared for a GREAT time aaaand various terrain! We may be in sand, climbing over rocks/brush, dealing with various bugs/ants & walking on uneven ground. Also, any remaining balance is due at this time.
Post Session
While I upload your gallery, I will typically share snippets to my Instagram story & tag you if you have an account. I do not have you look through your gallery to choose your 30 or so favorites, instead you will receive ALL of the very best captures from our session; 60+ (and probably then some)! I'll send you a small-ish sneak peek gallery ~1wk after our session via a private online gallery & you'll receive your full gallery 3-4 weeks after our session with a print release!
