Finding the right photographer can be so overwhelming with so many different personalities and styles out there. Chances are, this is your first time getting professional photos done and you don't know where to start. I GET IT. I want your experience to be as smooth as possible and for you to get the pictures you're looking for. My job goes beyond clicking a few buttons. I'm here to be your hype woman, show you how to pose, and give you that giddy feeling when you open your gallery.
MY LAST NAME?
IT'S PRONOUNCED PEEZ-CHECK :)
TRUST ME,
I GET IT.
(IT'S POLISH)
I'm also very bad at taking care of houseplants, a lover of game nights, and a frustrating mix of a night owl and an early bird. I got my start in portrait photography in 2018 and immediately fell in love with working with new people and creating art of them, for them.
I'D DESCRIBE
MY STYLE AS:
MY GOAL
Why get photos done to look like anyone but yourself? It's my goal to bring out the best of you through photos that reflect who you are at this moment of your life! I believe that photos should look organic rather than a product of harsh editing software.
EDITING
It's important for me to give you photos that look like, well, you. That being said, although my editing style is very minimalistic, I do make lighting and color adjustments to enhance the person I'm photographing.
While some photographers return heavily retouched galleries, my focus is to keep you looking natural. But since these photos are going to last you a while, I make sure to remove major temporary blemishes such as acne, bruises, etc., but I will keep anything that you ask me to!
PLANNING
STEP 1: CONTACT
When you reach out via the contact form, we will first what you're looking for out of your session. I'll suggest locations based on your interests, and we'll find a time that works great for both of us. I'll give you all of the info you need to prepare for the session! A 25% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your date.
STEP 2: SESSION
When we both arrive on location, we'll do brief introductions, but I love to get shooting right away to maximize the use of your session time! We'll get to know each other over the duration of your session!
I will show you the photos we take, throughout the session, so that you know how you look and there are no surprises when you get your photos back.
STEP 3: PAYMENT
I require the remainder of the agreed upon payment at the end of the session time. Acceptable forms of payment include Venmo, Zelle, or online through HoneyBook.
STEP 4: YOUR GALLERY
You will receive sneak peek images within 48 hours of your session and the full gallery no later than three weeks after your session. You will get an email with access to an online gallery where you will have the ability to download all of your photos to your computer or mobile device, without an expiration date.
FAQs
WHAT IF I DON'T KNOW HOW TO POSE?
That's why I'm here! You don't have to know anything about posing going into our session. I will give you prompts and poses throughout our shoot so that you can look your best and not have to do a guessing game.
I'M A COLLEGE GRAD. DOES MY CAP AND GOWN COUNT AS AN ADDITIONAL OUTFIT?
Nope! Your total allotted outfits are specified in your chosen package. For grad shoots, the only clothing considered "outfits" are the clothes you're wearing under your grad paraphernalia (cap/gown/stole/cords).
WILL MY PHOTOS BE POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA?
Social media is one of my main forms of advertising, so there is a high chance that I will share select images from your gallery on my Instagram account @piszportraits, my website, and potential other marketing materials. If this makes you uncomfortable, let me know ahead of your session and we can discuss it. I would never want to post photos of you if it makes you uncomfortable!
HOW LONG UNTIL I GET THE PHOTOS BACK?
After receiving your sneak peeks the day after our session, your full gallery will be delivered within 3 weeks of your session day, unless discussed otherwise.
CAN I BRING SOMEONE WITH ME?
Yes! You're welcome to bring family/friends/pets along for the photos, and get a couple pictures in your gallery with them. These will count towards the total image amount.
I do not go through the proofing process with my clients. After our session, I'll go through all of the photos we took and narrow down the best ones (void of duplicates, blinking eyes, unflattering poses, etc.) to the number that was specified in your package. I will go through my editing and retouching process with all of those images, and those will be the ones you receive in your final gallery.
