THE PROCESS
There's a lot of thought and planning that goes into getting great portraits. Booking with me is a custom process from beginning to end. I offer a high level of service and quality. A session with DNP happens in 6 simple steps: Booking, The Consultation, The Portrait Session, Proofing, Editing, Delivery of Images. With these 6 steps, you will end up with exactly what you desire once we are done.
01
THE BOOKING PROCESS
The first step is booking your portrait session. The link to book a session is located here. If you have questions or concerns before booking, please reach out to me before submitting your payment.
When you're on my booking site, you'll select whether you want your session to take place in studio or outside.
Next, you'll select the type of session you would like to book. After clicking 'BOOK,' a list of add-ons will appear, as well as a calendar that shows my availability. Select your add-ons then find a date that works best for you. Please note that any date that is gray means I'm not available that day.
The next page shows a form and contract that you'll fill out and agree to.
Once you're at the bottom of the page, you may see a button that says 'Redeem Coupon.' If you have a coupon code, you'll enter it there.
This is the most important part! After filling out the form and signing the contract, make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom. There are two options regarding payment. There's a PAY NOW & PAY DEPOSIT NOW button. Selecting PAY NOW will charge your card the full amount!
After submitting your payment, you'll see a thank you for booking message with additional information.
If you have any questions regarding the booking process, feel free to contact me here.
02
THE CONSULTATION
About 24-72 hours after receiving the notification of you booking, I'll email you and provide you with a list of days and times to schedule your phone consultation.
During the Consultation, we find out what your goals are for the session. We'll discuss possible ideas, locations, themes, best clothing choices, etc.
03
THE PORTRAIT SESSION
Portrait sessions are usually 45 min-1 hour long unless extra time was added on when booking. At the Session, we put our plan in action to create beautiful images of you. I'll take a variety of photos within your one-hour time frame and I will guide you with different poses.
My sessions are a relaxed and fun environment to make the entire experience a positive one for everyone involved.
04
THE PROOFING PROCESS
This is where you will get to see your beautiful images for the first time after your portrait session. About 72 hours after your session, you'll receive a link via email to your online gallery of unedited proofs. Please know that these proofs will be heavily watermarked and they are not to be downloaded, screenshotted, or shared anywhere.
Further details regarding the proofing process will be outlined in the email.
05
THE EDITING PROCESS
After sending me your final selections, I begin editing them. Photos are edited in the order that they are taken. However, if I have more than one session in a day, photos are edited in a first send, first serve order meaning whoever selects their images first, that's who I'll begin editing first. My turnaround time is usually 1 week; however, editing can take up to 3 weeks depending on my workload. Right now, I don't offer a rush fee so please book accordingly.
06
THE DELIVERY OF IMAGES
Once your photos are done, I'll send them to you via email. Due to technology constantly changing, I do not supply photos on disks/CDs or jump/flash drives. The link to your images will be available for one week. After your link expires, there is a fee for me to resend the images so please be sure to download them right away and save them in several places. I send out 2 copies of each photo: one for social media (will have my watermark in the lower left or right corner) and one for printing (no watermark). At this time, I provide digital images only. No prints are offered at this time.
