- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Each of my sessions are meticulously planned. The nature of the session itself with determine what I need from you to ensure success. Creative consult for weddings- After selecting a plan and paying your deposit, we will have at least one pre service consultation via Skype, live messenger, or in person. This will be the chance for us to sketch out exactly who, what, where, when and how. I will take detailed notes on your image goals in terms of creativity, tone and inclusion of special people. We will discuss any ideas you have for posing and we will discuss our limits and loves (i.e. no sitting in the grass or please pose me in the grass.) Personally, I have very few limits with regards to image capture and I have been know to climb trees and wade through mud on a regular basis. Any family issues with step parents or in laws are mapped out and worked through. If there are any children involved, we find out what makes them happy and keeps them happy (particularly if they have sensory issues.) Armed with this information, I will draft your image plan for your wedding, and submit it for your approval. This plan is not set in stone, it can be altered at any time with just a word. The Image plan is extremely helpful as it also serves as an itinerary to anyone else working at the venue along with the wedding party. We also discuss how much of a role you would like for me to take with regards to direction. Whether I hang back and make myself not seen or heard or whether I help direct the wedding around your image plan. This is entirely up to you. Creative Consult for Boudoir- Similar to the wedding consult but less involved. Discussion about your limits and comfort is paramount. You also may elicit my help in choosing your lingerie during this time or you may add the shopping assistant option. The shopping assistant option let's us go shopping together so I may help select the most flattering lingerie for your body type. We also plan your makeup and hair if I am doing it. Fantasy Portrait Creative Consult- We plan your scene and costuming, along with the discussion of locations, limits and loves. Creative Consult General- All other sessions do not require a consult but consultation is available upon request. Messaging is generally enough but if you feel more comfortable with a face to face meeting and an image plan, that is completely fine with me.
