KIDS & FAMILIES

Featured Work

OVERVIEW

  • Photo sessions for children and families vary in length, typically between 45 minutes and 1 hour, depending on the number and age of subjects

  • We will photograph multiple poses and settings at a pre-arranged location

  • Approximately 20-25 edited digital images will be delivered to you in a digital gallery

PROCESS

  1. Pre-Shoot Consultation (in-person or by phone):  We'll talk about your interests and the vision you have for your images.  If you haven't filled out a client questionnaire, we'll talk through that to make sure we both have all the information we need, including information about pricing and securing your photo shoot date.   

  2. Photo Shoot: we will meet at our prearranged location and shoot your photos. 

  3. Post Processing: I will hand-edit your images. This step may take 2-4 weeks, and depends on workload.

  4. Image Delivery: Your photos will be delivered to you in a digital gallery.  You may order professional-grade prints and products from your digital gallery, or you may download your digital images and print them at a photo lab of your choice.
