No time for portraits? Let me help you with that.
One of my goals at Karenleslie Photography is to not only make a photo session fun for you and your children, but also convenient for you. How do I do that? Let me walk you through a true scenario of booking a photo session with me:
1. When you decide to book a session, we'll talk about possible session times/dates, type of photographs you are looking for (e.g., any specific shots) and location. Most people prefer to have the session at their house, which always works out great.
2. We'll be in contact a couple of times from the time you book until your session to confirm details and for me to answer any questions you might have.
3. On the day of the session, I will come to your house at the time we agreed. I'll take some time to get to know your kids, and get a feel for the best lighting in your house. Since I am a natural light photographer, I don't use any studio lights, so my "set up" is pretty simple: just me and my camera. :)
4. A photo session lasts anywhere from one to two hours. The time I am with you and your children is fun and comfortable! I like for kids to just be themselves -- most times they quickly forget that I even have a camera in my hands. Mom and Dad can choose to stay with us as we take photographs. Many times, Mom and Dad will leave us alone, but stay within range in case there are specific questions or requests that come up. The kids and I will talk and just generally have fun. Don't be surprised if "bed jumping" is involved in our shoot! I also love to hear jokes and stories from your kids ... and have been known to get in the middle of a game of "ring around the rosie." :) I typically don't work with props, but if I'd love to include a special toy, blanket, stuffed animal or doll or anything else in the shots that would be meaningful to you and your child. If your child needs to take a break for a snack that's perfectly fine. Before I leave I'll make sure that I get all the "must have" shots that you requested.
5. Within two weeks, I'll be back in contact to schedule the proofing session. Again, I'll come to you to go through all your proofs. This typically takes about 30 minutes.
6. Before I leave the proofing session, you'll have all the information you need to order your prints. Don't forget -- orders within two weeks will receive the $100 photo credit from your session fee. You'll order your photos through a password protected online ordering site. The orders will come to me and I'll start preparing your final order.
7. Once your order is ready (approximately two weeks from the time you placed the order), I'll deliver your order to you.
See how that works? So convenient! No taking the kids to the photographer's studio. No return tip to the studio to view your proofs. No second return trip to pick up your order. I come to you and bring everything to you. And I've just saved you hours.
How could it get more convenient? No, I didn't think so. :)
