Our Process

It all begins with the end in mind. We all want great pictures of our family but if you don’t have a plan, we all know they end up in a drawer or on a hard drive somewhere. (we’ve been there too) That is why we start by asking you “where do you want your images to live?” Do you want a hallway filled with your family story as they grow? Do you have a bookshelf that you would love to dedicate to your families’ memories? Maybe this year you only need ONE NICE family portrait. We are here to help you figure out how to curate your family’s heirloom story.

The Consult.

Put simply we want to learn more about your family so we can tailor your portrait session and take all of the guesswork and stress out.

 At this appointment we will also discuss:

  • Where you want your portraits to live (on walls, in an album, tabletop prints, etc.)

  • What your style is (is your family more modern? Maybe rustic? We want to know.)

  • What groupings of people or backgrounds interest you

  • Clothing suggestions

The Session.

All the hard work is done, we have everyone dressed, the background is chosen and now it is my job to get your family’s personality to come out. This is the fun part!

You should expect:

  • Your session to last approximately 1 hour

  • To get to see your images as we take them to help guarantee all of those great expressions.

  • To leave knowing your family is about to have some great portrait art to display!

View & Order.

At this appointment we will go through your images together to decide favorites that will suit where you want them to live. We will look at how the portraits look on your walls and decide what style of album fits your needs best. PLEASE HAVE ANY DECISION MAKERS PRESENT.

You should expect:

  • Your ordering appointment to last 30-60 minutes.

  • Snacks, and an area to entertain the littles while we make decisions.

  • Laughs and maybe a few tears, but definitely excitement for your new portrait art.

Order Pick Up & Loving Your New Heirloom.

Approximately three weeks from your view & order appointment we will contact you to let you know your new heirloom portrait art is ready for pick up and we will set up a time for you to come in. The exciting part is here, you get to take home and show off your family portraits.
