The Right Photog is a Game-Changer

A Consultation is key.
Whether it’s an initial 5-minute vibe check or a 45-minute session styling consult, the value of finding a photographer who sets aside time specifically for you is incalculable. Share your questions, concerns and your personal vision. Educate her on who you are, what you would like, and how you plan to utilize these images. Fine-tune the wardrobe and discuss design details.

What will your ideal photographer look like?
Someone who gets you. Who cares enough to ask the questions, and once she does… cares enough to listen. This experience is about you. It’s meant to incorporate your goals, your aspirations and your vision, so finding a photographer that will take the time to connect with and listen to you is essential.

Know what to expect.
Knowledge is power. Know what to expect and move forward with confidence. A few questions to get you started:

What’s the layout of the day?
Will you help with posing or leave me to my own devices?
What is to be expected for hairstyling and makeup? Are they included?
How long will the shoot last and how will I feel at the end?
The turnaround time for editing?
Will there be a sneak peek? Can I share it on social media?
How do I build my collection of images?
Can I access the digital files?
Are the prints archival? Frames handcrafted?

If she’s the right photog for you, you’ll feel guided and cared for, not left in the dark.

Search for a photographer whose shooting priorities align with yours.
Are you short on time? Want a quick and dirty, 30-minute session?
Are you all about current trends with a vibe that’s all about right now?
Do you prefer cheap and easy, in-and-out, no real connection?

No shade, if that’s the case. You’ll find a dozen or more photographers that are willing to shoot that way. I don’t happen to be one of them. So if you want more… my goodness, don’t settle. If you’re looking for an elevated experience, one of luxury and personal transformation, one that emboldens you to recognize your strengths and embrace your beautiful vulnerabilities… You’ve come to the right place.
