BEFORE THE SESSION >>
1. STAYING IN TOUCH: Communication is key, so let’s talk everything — styling ideas, nap times, location, location, location, weather forecasts—whatever we need to ensure the whole thing flows smoothly from start to finish.
2. BRAINSTORMING: We love collaborating with you to get a sense of the little things that make your crew unique. It is about weaving what you love into the shoot and creating a vibe that tells your story authentically.
3. PLANNING: Based on what we learn from you, together we create a plan that everyone feels good about.
THE SESSION >>
1. MAKE IT FUN: We are all about keeping things relaxed and enjoyable. Whether we are sharing a slice, feeding the chickens, or navigating downtown Chinatown, we want the shoot to feel easy-going and memorable. We bring our shot list to keep things on track, but we are also totally flexible — to take breaks, explore, and make sure everyone feels comfortable.
AFTER THE SESSION >>
1. BACKING IT UP: Once we are home, we back everything up to the cloud and an external hard drive. We label all the cards and hold onto them until your gallery is ready—nothing gets lost.
2. EDITING SELECTS: We go through the shots looking for the good stuff, you know, the real moments — the laughter, the connections, the little details that storytellers dream of. We edit to highlight those natural colors and energy, with a touch of that timeless, film-like feel.
3. DELIVERY: Once the gallery is ready, we will email you the link. You will get everything in one place. Savor those jpegs, share them on social and then you can take your time to pick your favorites to adorn the walls of your home. Trust us, you are going to want to print and frame these.
