SO WHAT HAPPENS AT THE PRE-SESSION CONSULTATION?
This is where the excitement starts! We get to sit back, relax and talk about what we can do to create the ideal session for you. When you book a Daffodil session, we want to know everything about you, your kids, your family, your house, your style – EVERYTHING! We will talk about clothes, and we would love to see images of your home so we can talk about certain wall spaces and plan for something that fits you.  When your session day arrives, we’ll have a plan so everything goes smoothly–which means LESS stress for you.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DAFFODIL SESSION AND A DAISY SESSION?
The two sessions offer different options depending on what your final goals are for displaying your images, how much customization you desire and what kind of budget you have.

A DAFFODIL SESSION is a fully customized session with intricate attention to detail regarding the design and planning of your session, and printing of your selected products. We help you design a commissioned art piece for your home and offer creative advice as to how to display your images. We create and print everything for you according to how the session was planned and photographed. Digital files ARE also available in our Daffodil line.

Daisy session is an all digital session that allows you to print products on your own. This session offers one digital collection that includes all the files from your session and unlimited personal copyright usage to print up to 11 x14 in size. We also upload your  files to our online professional lab so you will get a quality, professional level product. These sessions are offered at a slightly better rate since we don’t have to order products or spend time on custom design work.

WHEN DO I GET TO SEE THE IMAGES?
If you booked a Daffodil or Daisy Session, you will get to see your images larger than life in a slideshow set to music during your Viewing Appointment 2 weeks after your session. With a Daffodil session, we will help you with all of your final decisions on images and products that we have custom designed just for you. And remember those snapshots of your home you sent us? We can show you what your images will look like right on YOUR wall! This is one of the best parts – so please feel free to bring as many people as you would like. But don’t worry! If family lives out of town, a gallery of your purchased images can be posted online for them to view following the ordering appointment. If you selected a Daisy Session, in addition to your Digital Collection purchase, you will have the option to order wall size images and/or albums should you desire. Or you may simply print on your own after we upload your images to our easy, self-order online lab.

CAN I BRING MY OTHER KIDS TO THE ORDERING APPOINTMENT?
Of course you can! Children are welcome, BUT if you would like a chance to relax and concentrate on the beautiful images and products that we will creating for you, then you might want to arrange childcare. Or we can schedule your appointment when your children are in school.

WHAT IF I ONLY WANT A FEW SMALL PRINTS?
What we are is a full service, high quality studio. Rebecca spends an unlimited amount of time on your session from photography to post processing, and then provides you with the highest quality images to choose from. If you want gift prints only, we recommend you book our Daisy line which offers all digital sessions at a more affordable price so you can print the files how you like.

WHAT KIND OF INVESTMENT DO MOST FAMILIES MAKE?
Most of our clients who choose our Daffodil Line invest anywhere from $700 to $1500 on their sessions. However, everyone’s needs are different – some spend a little more and some spend a little less. Clients who select our Daisy typically invest under $500.

WHY IS IT SO EXPENSIVE?
Quality, custom photography by a specially-trained portrait artist is not for everyone, and takes an enormous amount of time and creative commitment. We are priced in order to continue the premier service we provide to our clients. For example, there are discount stores, department stores and boutiques. We are the “boutique” of photography studios with a fine art product and service that comes with this business model.

WHEN DO I GET TO BRING EVERYTHING HOME?
Quality takes time, so please allow 4 weeks from your order date for completion of your order. Custom designed albums and orders with framing will take longer. But it’s worth the wait!
