The process
Inquire
Every story starts somewhere, this is yours! You'll fill out my inquiry form telling me about yourself and sharing all the details of what you're envisioning. Once I receive the form, I'll be in touch within 24 - 48 hours with a detailed response on how to get you scheduled! We'll talk through your ideas and start shaping your session into something that feels like you!
Plan
Once you're officially booked with a signed contract and deposit down (yay!!) we'll start dreaming everything up together. We'll talk about your vision, the feeling you want your photos to have, and all the little details that will bring your story to life. I'll send over some guidance to help you with outfits, location, ideas, and inspiration so everything feels natural and true to you. As your session gets closer, I'll check in to finalize details and make sure we're completely in sync.
Shoot
It's shoot day, the best day!! We'll meet at our photo spot and I'll greet you with a big hug and smile like we're old friends (I may have a coffee or matcha in my hand too so be on the lookout). I'll make sure you instantly feel comfortable with me and before you know it, it'll just feel like we're hanging out. We'll probably end up singing the songs from my speaker together, talk about our favorite shows/movies, and laugh together in the best moments of the shoot. It'll be a really fun day that will have the outcome of receiving photos that feel and look entirely like you.
Deliver
This is where your photos are turned into a cinematic film that tells your story. After your session, your gallery delivery time period will be between 3-4 weeks. This is where you'll receive an online gallery of the best high resolution edited images. We'll make sure you love every image and I'll of course be making sure to like your Instagram post!
