HOW IT WORKS

From first conversation to your home

Let's talk!  Tell me about your musician and what this session should honor.

Discovery

Preparation

Session

Reveal

Delivery

I visit your location ahead of time and plan every detail, so we capture images you'll love

A calm, fun, unhurried 90-minute session.  Your musician just needs to be themselves.

I'll guide you as you choose your favorite images, and we'll design your wall art and album together.

Enjoy your time with your musician while I take care of every detail.  Then I'll hand-deliver your artwork to you.

PROCESS

Work together

Let's be honest.

How often do you open a folder on your computer to look at your photos?

The files are safe there, but they’re out of sight. An album and wall art live in the same space you do. You pass them in the hallway, pick the album up on a quiet afternoon, and see your musician every day, not just when you remember to look.

Please feel free to reach me through an Inquire form below.  I would love to hear about your youth musician. What they play, how long they have been at it, who they are when they are not holding the instrument. I would love to get to know about your journey with music.  

How do we book a session?

Earlier than you might think. Sessions typically happen from spring through the summer, but the date itself is worth holding well before college decisions come in. Reach out whenever you are ready. We can hold a date now and sort out the details later.

When should we book a session?

About sixty to ninety minutes, and nothing is rushed. We start with the instrument and finish with portraits that stand on their own. I guide the posing gently, so no one has to figure out what to do with their posing.

How long is the session, and what happens during it?

Solid colors work best, either soft and light or deeper and darker. Anything they feel like themselves in is the right starting point. If this is also your graduation session, bring the cap and gown, and anything from the college they are headed to to be included in the gallery.

What should they wear?

I make sure the location we choose is safe for the instrument. I schedule around weather so the instrument is not exposed to heat or cold that could harm it.  I am happy to also explore indoor locations of your choice as well.  

Is it safe to bring the instrument?

Yes. The digital files for every image made into an album and your wall art are all included.   Whatever you order, you receive the files for those same images to keep.

Are digital images included?
