What to expect from your shoot
    1. Our initial consultation.

    Our first conversation will be mainly getting to know one another and the work you need completed.  Let's be honest
    here, pretty much anyone can push the button on a camera and take a photo.  Today's point and shoot cameras can
    be very good, even with little or no experience.  In order to really give you what you want I need to understand what
    you're looking for.  We need to get to know each other.  It's actually one of my favorite parts of the process, I love
    getting to know my customers.  Once I understand what you're looking for I can tailor my approach to your event.

    2. Customization & Fee Schedule.

    During the process of our initial consultation we'll go over the standard packages available for the type of event you're
    scheduling.  Hopefully we'll find one that exactly meets your needs.  If not we'll customize a package to fit what you're
    looking for.  I believe that flexibility is truly key to any good working relationship.  Our ultimate goal is to make sure you
    have beautiful photos of your special event or portrait session.  We'll work together to make that happen within your
    means.

    3.  Deposit & Payment Terms.

    Once we come to an agreement I require a deposit of 50% to secure the date.  Payment can be made through Paypal
    via links on the Services & Rates page.  Paypal is a secure server that allows payment with all major credit cards as
    well as direct bank drafts.  Once payment is received the date is yours.  The balance is due within one week of the
    date of the shoot.

    4. Details, Details, Details.

    Depending on the scope of your shoot we'll need to meet to discuss the fine details.  This meeting may happen
    several days before your shoot, or perhaps just before we begin depending how involved we need to get.  I'll need to
    know if there are special details you want to capture or little things you want to focus on.  This is what will define your
    images as yours and not just generic shots.

    5. Your Shoot.

    Once your shoot is in process I'll work hard to incorporate all I have learned from you in our conversations.  I shouldn't
    require much input from you, leaving you free to enjoy yourself.  If we're taking portraits we'll work through different
    poses and locations to find the shots we're looking for.  Smile, relax, and have fun.  I'll be shooting what you're looking
    for, and if you come up with something new in the process I'll incorporate that too.

    6. Processing.

    It's not uncommon to shoot literally hundreds of photos during a session, sometimes significantly more than that.  
    Once the session is complete the photos will be uploaded and painstakingly reviewed by me.  The shots that make the
    cut are processed to fine tune exposure and color, they are straightened and cropped (if needed) and re-saved.  
    From the finished product I can then re-process the images as black & white, color isolated and creative images.  It's
    not uncommon to have four different versions of the same shot, using different processes.  This is a very time
    consuming process (up to two weeks) but completely necessary.   

    7. Review & Purchase.

    Once processing is complete the images will be uploaded to this site in a password protected gallery for your review.  
    Multiple galleries will be set up separating different phases of the session as well as processing styles, this makes it
    easier to navigate your photos in stages rather than one huge mass of images.  

    Family and friends abroad can be given the web address and password to review and purchase prints at their
    convenience.  Images will remain on the site for a minimum of one year after publishing.

    Prints and unique products can be purchased directly through a secure server on your gallery with your major credit
    card.  

    8. Referrals.

    You've received your photos, you're happy, I'm happy.  It doesn't have to end there!  Now that we know each other it
    will be so much easier to work together again! Birthday party, family portraits, whatever you need I'm there.

    Refer a friend and have them set a session date and get a $25 credit toward your next session or print purchase, your
    choice!
