There is Traditional Portraiture (posed, everyone looking at the camera) and Lifestyle Portraiture (not looking the camera, per se – having fun, caught in the moment). Some photographers offer one style, others opt for the other.
I offer both options. My experience as an advertising catalog photographer, blended with years of working with professional models gave me the training to help people feel comfortable in front of the camera. I know how direct them into situations that allow for spontaneity and real emotional expression. Part of my Consultation process involves creating a blueprint we’ll work to the day of the session.
I offer a Lifestyle Album. We decide what situations to photographically document over the course of up to 3 separate sessions -limited to a contiguous 3 month span. I’ll create the photography, then design the large handmade album with your choice of cover options. Think of the situations that could be included in this album!
Summer Fun: Boating
Capture the family out on the lake.
Visiting Family: Grandma & grandpa
Create photos of the family with Mom & Dad
Dog Days of Summer: Cookout/Bonfire
Kids and the dog playing. Family images for Holiday Cards.
Add duplicate, smaller albums for the Grandparents and Christmas gift giving is solved!
I will also design framed wall artwork options we can review during the final album review ordering appointment. I can split the album cost over the 3 month span to make purchasing easier. A 30% deposit is required to book the first session.
Summer sessions book up quickly and I limit the number of Lifestyle Albums I produce as they are very time and work intensive. Please call to discuss any questions you have and to get the process started. I look forward to working with you and your family!
