01. Your Pre-Shoot Consultation / Booking
To begin your portrait experience with The Image Workshop Photography we will schedule a pre-shoot consultation prior to scheduling your session. These are done in person and only take 30 -45 minutes. It is a great opportunity for you to ask questions and get a feel for what the session will be like with me.
Before scheduling this appointment, we do ask that you have consulted with your spouse/partner so they are on board with booking your session.
We do require a booking/confirmation fee to secure your booking date/time on our schedule. This fee will be credited towards your session fee on the day of your session, when the balance of the session fee will be due. This covers any loss of the appointment session and your photographer’s time. Basically it is our “please don’t be rude” insurance.
PLEASE NOTE: ALL FAMILY MEMBERS MUST BE AVAILABLE ATTEND THE PHOTO SESSION FOR THE FAMILY SESSION VOUCHER AND ALL DECISION MAKERS MUST BE PRESENT AT THE PORTRAIT DESIGN APPOINTMENT TO MAKE THE PROCESS AS EASY AS POSSIBLE.
02. Your Photo Session
This is where the fun begins. During your session we will take your photos in the locations we discussed at your consultation and create some amazing memories for your senior. We'll plan our shots with the family, or your dog(s) and any special items or places we discussed to make the session go smoothly and stress free. Capturing the family shot on the day of the session is important, time gets away from everyone and planning for everyone to be there on that day, helps us make sure we get this important shot for you as well. Don't forget to bring grandparents if they are available, we love including them.
Our photo sessions last anywhere from 1 hour to several hours through out the day (with breaks of course) depending on which session type you choose. We will do a variety of looks and poses. We will talk about what to wear for your photo session and what to wear for each location at your consultation as well.
When you arrive we will go over all of the clothing and accessories you brought for your session and put together some amazing looks for you to have for a lifetime.
NOTE: Don’t be afraid to bring too many items…we may not use all of them but it is better to have too much than not enough when it comes to options.
03. Your Design Appointment
This is where we create displays from the photos we got during your session to put in your home. Our design appointments will be in person at the studio, usually 10-14 days after your session, sometimes it is a little later than that. It is really a matter of when your photo session takes place.
During the design appointment we will show you a slideshow of your photos and allow you to re-live the moments you experienced during your session. We will then select your favorite images and begin to stylize your wall displays, album and other products to suit your home, style and needs for your senior.
All of our artwork and albums are from an award winning professional lab and comes ready for display in your home. We have a range of products to suit everyone’s style and budget. Our mat print collections start at $425. Metal wall art starts at $320. All of our collections can be financed with our in-house lay-a-way program or through PayPal Credit. Most families invest $1500-$2200+ on their photo products (wall art/albums/digitals) from their session.
