1. a quick call

We’ll start with a quick phone intro. I want to know about your family and what you want out of your portrait session. Let’s start thinking about what kind of images we can create, and how you’ll showcase them in your home. I’ll walk you through my process and we’ll decide if we’re ready for the next step.

Call me any time or schedule a consultation below and I’ll reach you at your convenience.

2. a brief meeting

Next we’ll meet face to face and dig a little deeper and make some plans. We’ll answer questions like:

  • Where and how exactly will we display our portraits?
  • Will we feature pets, parents, favorite toys, sports equipment, and personal items that help narrate our story?
  • How will we dress? Casual or Formal?
  • How much should we budget?

We’ll consider all the possibilities and set a date for your session.

3. A LITTLE PREP

Now its time to set all the pieces and put our plan into motion.

Select and prepare your family’s wardrobe. You may want to do some shopping, get the dog groomed, or gather a few props.  Mani-pedis, hair,  and makeup are best done immediately before your shoot.

Remember to involve all your family members in some way so everyone feels invited to the party!

4. the big day

All that’s left to do is show up and have fun! Sure, there may be a grumpy kid or a dad running late, but its nothing to stress about. There’s no such thing as a photo session without a challenge, and its all part of the fun.

Think of it as a party with your favorite people, and there happens to be someone taking pictures. There’ll be music, a few costume changes, maybe a little dancing, and of course, treats for team players.

5. View & Order

A week or two after your session we’ll meet again to view your beautiful photos and bring your design to life.

You’ll choose your favorite images and order products according to the plan we created together.

6. delivery &     Installation

Three to four weeks after your viewing appointment your final artwork will be delivered to your home and installed professionally for a flawless finale to your family portrait experience.

Your portraits can now light up your heart and your home and remind your family for years to come that you are a beautiful work of art!
