The Process

Step 1: Set a date for the session:

  • To book, just call, email or text Tina and we can get you scheduled.
  • The non-refundable retainer of $200-300 is due at time of booking. The retainer goes towards your purchase.
  • Location options:
    • Outdoor Session- early morning (Monday-Saturday options) and later evening (Monday-Thursday options)
    • In-studio Session- late morning to mid-day is best (time depends on the season, winter 10-2 and summer 9-4)
  • Available session days and times:
    • Monday – Thursday 9am-7pm (please see above)
    • Friday  9am-2pm
    • Saturday 9am-12pm

Step 2: During the session:
During the session, I want you to sit back, relax and enjoy the show. I’ve got loads of tricks so no worries… every session is a lot of work and your family is no exception! Don’t fret, we will get great images.

Step 3: Finalize your collection: Photography Collections
*There is a 1.5% credit card transaction split between merchant and client that applies to final credit card purchase.

Depending on the session, I like to include the family in part of the narrowing down process of images since you know these faces best. If it’s too much work, I will do it for you. Most families enjoy this process. Once you see the images, you’ll chose your favorites, and create a collection. Then I will get to work and complete the editing process to get your portraits all polished and ready for professional printing. The editing and printing process usually takes 1-4 weeks depending on the season. I only take so many sessions per month to ensure I have a quick turnaround time for you but sometimes I get multiple collection orders at once and I prioritize by date of payment.

**It is so easy and most clients even say it’s fun. 🙂

Thank you for your interest in my family portrait studio. I am truly thankful for my clients and the opportunity to serve our community with my passion.
