The experience
The family session
If you haven’t had the family session experience before, you’ll be pleasantly surprised that I am here to guide you every step of the way. Here’s how it works:
1 – THE INITIAL MEETUP
This is our time to start planning your session. We can chat over email, on the phone or meet in person. We will discuss about what types of images you’re looking for. We’ll also talk about what you plan to do with your photos. Will it be decorating your home with wall art? Telling a story with an album? Giving them as gifts to your parents? This will give me a clear idea of what type of images to shoot for on the day of your session. Once the date of the session is booked, we can then move ahead to the wardrobe consultation.
2 – THE WARDROBE CONSULTATION
This is where we will meet at your place and decide on the different outfits for the session. A style guide with some guidelines will have been sent to you previously to that. We will also discuss and finalize the make-up & hair style for the session. If one of the shooting locations is your home, we will also decide on the rooms to be used for the shooting. Some decorating ideas will be provided as well.
3 – THE SESSION
Sessions will be photographed at the agreed indoors and / or outdoors location(s). All sessions may include simple props (if a newborn) but I always encourage my models to include their favorite items / toys etc., which I will at a certain point import in the shooting. A typical session duration is 3 to 4 hours (can reach up to 5 hours for newborn sessions) and is very laid back. I will not try to direct you in any way, shape or form. The posed shots are not my photography style. On the other hand, I’ll try to get some candid moments and genuine smiles by interacting with each other. I love capturing family connections, those small moments that are the ingredients for everlasting memories. I want you to look back on these photos and remember all the laughs, the giggles, and the love you have for each other.
4 – THE REVEAL
This is everyone’s favorite part! Your photos will be ready for viewing approximately two weeks after your session. At this point, we will meet again and you will see your finished images for the first time. You will also touch and feel samples of heirloom products so you can have a better understanding of how your art (wall art, albums, woodblocks, keepsake boxes) will look like. I’ll be there to help answer any questions you have and help with the design process. All orders for custom-made artwork should be placed at this time.
5 – THE DELIVERY
Your finished artwork will be ready for delivery in approximately three weeks. Your order can be delivered to your home or any other mutually agreed location.
The pet session
If you haven’t had the pet session experience before, you’ll be in for a treat!
Here’s how it works:
1 – THE INITIAL MEETUP
This is our time to start planning your session. We can chat over email, on the phone or meet in person. We will talk more about what types of images you’re looking for. We’ll also discuss what you plan to do with your photos. Decorate your home with wall art of your beloved pet? Telling its story with an album? This will give me a clear idea of what type of images to shoot for on the day of your session. Once the date of the session is booked, we can then move ahead to the session.
2 – THE SESSION
Sessions will be photographed at the agreed indoor and / or outdoor location(s). All outdoor locations are pet friendly so your little pup can enjoy the day! All sessions may include simple props and toys to stimulate your furry family. I always encourage the owners to include their pet’s favorite toys etc.. I will use this during the shooting. A typical session duration is 2 hours and is very laid back. I will not try to direct you in any way, shape or form. What I’ll try to achieve is to make a connection with your pet. This way it can give its true character while you play together. The posed shots are not my photography style. I always find much cuter a dog showing his love to his owner or running and jumping freely in the fields rather than a dog posing in front of the camera. Thus, I’ll try to get some candid moments from your pet and some genuine smiles from you by interacting with each other. I love capturing the special bond that every dog has with its owner. The love dogs shows towards the owners. Their unique loyalty. I want you to look back on these photos and remember all the fun times and the love you have for each other.
