PLANNING
STEP 1: CONTACT
When you reach out via the contact form, we will first discuss availability and any questions you have, as well as any desires you have for your photoshoot. I'll suggest locations based on your interests, and let you know if they'll require an additional charge. I'll give you all of the info you need to prepare for the session! For portrait sessions, a $50 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 one day after your session and the full gallery no longer than two weeks after your session (unless discussed otherwise). 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 2 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.
