Step-by-Step
Step 1: Study Up
Review my website. Look at my pricing examples. Email me your questions. Decide if I'm the right photographer for you!
Step 2: Complete my welcome form
This is important to help me get to know you and start to thinkg about the type of session we can plan for you.
Step 3: Pay Deposit and Schedule Dates
I will be in touch to recieve your deposit of $500 and to schedule your session planning meeting. We will also schedule the date of your photo shoot. Your deposit is due prior to your planning meeting. There is no additional session fee. The $500 deposit will be applied to your print and file purchases. Packages start at $750.
Step 4: Book your hair and makeup artists
Make up for senior sessions should be very natural. Stage or performance makeup will not look good in portrait. Talk to your makeup artist about this! Look at samples of their work. Time your hair and make up appointment so that you can get to the photoshoot on time. Better to have makeup done early than to run out of light at the end of the day!
Step 5: Session Planning Meeting
This meeting can be done in about 30 minutes by zoom call. During this meeting we will discuss outfits, hair, makeup, jewelry and locations. You should have a variety of outfits that range from dressy, to casual to sporty. The look of outfits will vary greatly from person to person. Make sure to go with selections that match your personality!! Bring these outfits to show me during this meeting. I will select backgrounds and locations to match your favorite outfits. It's okay to have too many outfits. We can always make some last minute decision at the session.
Step 6: THE BIG DAY
In no particular order.... Make sure clothes are ironed. Eat Food. Drink Water. Floss and brush teeth. Get hair and make up done. Bring clothes on hangers!
Step 7: The Reveal
On a date that you choose, I will provide access to your gallery reveal. This will be open for 24 hours. The only thing you need to figure out after you view your reveal is what package you would like to purchase.
Step 8: Package Payment
You've already paid $500, now it's time to pay your balance. The amount depends on which package you select.
Step 9: Select Your Images
There are 2 ways we can do this. You can do it on your own through your gallery link. Or I can help you through the process!
Step 10: Order Prints and Download Digital Files
This is done through your gallery. You will see a credit for your package value. If you are ordering graduation cards or an album, we can work through the design of these together.
