At the beginning of July, Lil' Sprout Memories turned ONE! Over the past year I have learned A LOT--about business, photography and myself! I have enjoyed getting to know my clients, their families and capturing moments that will be enjoyed for years to come. I appreciate every referral and every session I have had the pleasure of photographing. In order to better serve my clients and create a full experience, I have put in place a few changes.
The first big change is CONSULTATIONS! Custom photography is meant to be tailored to meet the needs and personalities of the client I am photographing--it also requires time from both the client and photographer. I feel that through meeting with you beforehand (preferably face to face) I can better gage what kind of session and images you are looking for and therefore you as the client will be even more excited about the final product! The initial consultation is also a great time for me to meet your children as well especially if they take awhile to warm up to strangers--before the session day and before they are in front of my camera! This will also help me answer any questions you may have before your session instead of spending time during your session to get to know one another and answer any questions you may have. During this first 30 minute consult, we will discuss location and outfit choices, I will learn a little about you and I will let you know what to expect the day of your session. After your session, I will contact you and let you know your images are ready for your photo review, this review takes place in my home and allows you to see all of your edited images, ask any questions and place any photo orders (prints, frames or canvases). While this process may take more time on both our parts, I believe it is worth it to create an entire experience from start to finish and to make your photo session go as smooth and stress free as possible. After all, you only get professional portraits done every now and then, the experience should be special, unique, stress free and FUN!
The next change is DEPOSITS! I will now be requiring a 25% deposit on ALL sessions (family, senior and weddings). This deposit is non-refundable in the event of a cancellation and is required to hold your session date and time. Your deposit will be due at the time of your first consultation with me and the remainder of your session fee will be due at the time of your session. This is especially important for brides and grooms to make sure your wedding date is booked. Simply stated, if your deposit has not been paid, your date is still available for others.
Keep an eye out for more exciting things to come from LSM! I look forward to finding more ways to serve you better and provide the best quality images and products that you will cherish for years to come! I thank all of my clients, my husband and son from the bottom of my heart for all of your support over the past year and I look forward to seeing more of you in the upcoming year and years to come!
I can't wait to capture many more moments like these in the years to come!
Cheers and I look forward to working with you soon!
