“Can't I Just Get A Few Images?”
Can I just get a few pictures?
I'm not going to sugarcoat this one. We do not offer the option to only purchase 'a few images' because this is a full experience, not a quick shoot. It doesn't make sense to have a 6-8 hour experience for you to walk away with only two or three images. We do offer single-image products like wall art, and products like our fine art print boxes that hold 5-10 images, but typically clients get our albums or packages that come with 15 or more images.
Well - why can't I have a shorter experience??
This process takes time. The reason we are able to get amazing images with our clients is because we have taken that time to build the rapport and the relationship necessary to establish trust. You need time in front of the camera to warm up, in fact usually the first 10-15 minutes of the shoot we don't even have you look at the camera. If we rush the process, the images and the final results suffer. We want this experience to be incredible for you, and we want to provide you with the most beautiful portraits of yourself you will ever have.
I'm worried I won't like any of the images.
Trust me, I totally get it! This can be scary. I NEVER like images of myself. Group photos with friends? Ugh. Selfies? Blah. But what is different about this process is that you are working with a professional photographer who understands the principles of lighting, posing, wardrobe, and retouching. We have never had a client come in who didn't love their images. The majority of the time our clients upgrade their package because they fall in love with more images than they thought!
OK but I am on a strict budget...
We get that a lot, and we have several solutions for our budget-friendly clients. We go over pricing and the different packages via a no-obligation phone call, so you will know down to the dollar exactly what kind of investment to expect when working with us! Typically we book 6-12 months in advance (sometimes more), and that gives us plenty of time to set up any type of payment plan that works for you.
This way you can break the investment into smaller chunks to help make your dream session more attainable!!
These are all great questions and concerns - and we hear them a lot! I'm sure at least one of these things has run through your mind when you've considered booking a shoot. If you have more questions or you'd like to chat more in detail, you are always welcome to reach out!
