What to Expect Before, During & After Your Shoot

A photo shoot—whether it’s an kids, maternity, newborn, family or even a headshot session—isn’t just about the day of. The process can start weeks or even months before and extends through a post-shoot process to finalize editing, retouching and product delivery.

We’re all about creating a truly personal, truly immersive experience for our clients—and that starts with you. Here’s a step-by-step look at the process, and the important part you play in getting the best pictures:

Before the consultation: This is one of the most fun parts of the process. Check out Pinterest for inspiration on location (indoor or outdoor, scenic, or urban locations), and general styling. Start thinking about your style and what you’re looking for in your session.
The consultation: Ask questions, look through our portfolio and figure out what approach you’d like to see in your session and final prints. If you’ve found great inspiration in step #1, show us! We’ll discuss how you intend to use the images—business marketing, artwork, framing, etc—and help you refine the message you’re looking to convey within your session.
Finalizing the details: After we determine a location we’ll confirm a date, time and, based on that information, help you finalize apparel, props and poses. We are always thrilled to assist with clothing choice and styling recommendations. We want you to look and feel like your best self!

The shoot: The day is finally here! Have fun and relax and you’ll naturally take better photos! But don’t worry either, our staff expertly guides you through proper positioning from toes to nose so that there’s no awkward hand placements or branches coming out of your head.
Post Processing: We’ll cull (narrow down), color correct your images, crop, check for highlights and shadows, and then we’ll proceed to step 6.
The preview: We’ll schedule time post-shoot for a photo preview session, and be sure that you have our product guide so that you can arrive with a general idea in mind of what options we offer and what you want to display in your home or share with others.
Final delivery: Turnaround time for products is based on the specific product you order, but generally is 4-6 weeks from your order being placed. Once your final prints/products are available they will be available for pick up in our studio. Or you may opt to have us deliver them to your doorstep if that is more convenient for you.
