I believe everyone should have a custom photography experience at least once in their lifetime, it is completely different than the conventional walk-in studio at your local photographer. The results are beautiful, one of a kind images that truly capture your child’s unique personalities. Most sessions are conducted mid-afternoon. Sessions can last anywhere from 2 to 3h shooting depending on the child’s personality, there is no extra charge if sessions last longer!
How “custom” will your session be?
• We will discuss the exact location, feeling & vision you want for your session!
• The session itself will be fun and casual, playful and joyful.
• I will spend a lot of time perfecting each individual image afterwards with professional software (post-processing).
… the whole experience is custom created for you.
Location?
All custom portrait sessions are on-location with available light or portable studio equipment. Sessions can be conducted in any outdoor location (parks, beaches, urban areas …) or in a indoor location arranged by you.
Scheduling?
My custom portrait sessions with kids are held during the weekends (Saturday or Sunday afternoon).
I am currently booked 6 weeks in advance (editorial and commercial work). If all my slots are filled, you are still welcome to join my waiting list for additional openings.
Please be sure to schedule with us as soon as possible for upcoming spring sessions and Communion special sessions!
Winter sessions (Dec-Feb)?
I won’t be booking outdoor sessions in December/January/February due the Belgian weather.
It’s possible to book an indoor session during this months in your area if you have a great indoor location where we’re allowed to shoot.
(If the weather allows us to shoot outdoors the day of the session I’m always available to change plans, even if this means we have to work on a different location).
Online gallery viewing (proofing)?
After your session we will host a personal “gallery viewing” online to review and order your photos.
Within 2 weeks of your photo shoot, you will be able to view the proofs from your session. You can order right through my online ordering system. Take your time, and make your selections in the privacy of your home as well as share them with all of your friends and family. Clients placing an order will have their files archived for one year in case of loss.
Digital files?
I do offer digital negatives (high resolution files) with all of our custom packages!
I believe in giving my clients the rights to do whatever they want with their purchased images. When you purchase digital images, you have complete freedom to add them to your Facebook page, email them to your friends and family, have your images printed or print them yourself.
Investment?
I know that custom child & teen photography is a luxury these days and you are making an investment in my work. I take a very limited number of sessions to ensure I can give each client the time and 1 on 1 attention they need without the worry of the next ‘in line’ feeling.
