Choose Vivid Photography Process



1. Consultation and Planning

  •  Initial Discussion: We start with a consultation, either in person or by text/email, where we discuss your vision, preferences, and expectations. This is where we get to know each other and ensure we're aligned on the style and mood you want to capture.
  • Location and Timing: We’ll decide on the perfect location together, whether it’s a favorite park, your home, or a special spot that holds meaning for your family. The timing of the shoot, particularly for outdoor sessions, is crucial for achieving that perfect lighting, so we’ll pick a time that complements the setting.


2. Pre-Shoot Preparation

  • Outfit Coordination: I’ll provide guidance on outfit choices that will enhance the overall aesthetic of the photos. Whether it’s coordinating colors or choosing attire that reflects your family’s personality, I’m here to help.
  • Logistics: We’ll finalize all the details, including meeting points, parking, and any specific items you might want to bring along, such as props or sentimental objects.


3. The Photoshoot

  • Warm-Up: We start with some casual, candid shots to help everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. My goal is to create a relaxed atmosphere where you can be yourselves.
  • Guided Poses and Candid Moments: Throughout the session, I’ll guide you into natural poses, but I also love capturing those spontaneous moments of connection—when you’re laughing, playing, or just being together. These are often the most cherished shots.
  • Enjoying the Experience: I encourage you to focus on enjoying the time with your family rather than thinking about the camera. The best photos come when you’re fully present, forgetting that I’m there and just having fun.


4. Post-Shoot Process

  • Editing and Selection: After the shoot, I carefully curate and edit the best images, enhancing their natural beauty while maintaining authenticity. I focus on bringing out the warmth, emotion, and connection in each photo.
  • Gallery Delivery: Once the edits are complete, I’ll provide you with a private online gallery where you can view, download, and share your photos. Depending on your collection, you’ll have the option to select additional images or order prints.


5. Final Products and Keepsakes

  • Prints and Albums: If you choose, I can help you create custom prints, albums, or other keepsakes that will preserve your memories for generations to come.
  • Follow-Up: I love hearing your feedback and ensuring that you’re thrilled with the final results. Our relationship doesn’t end with the delivery of your photos—I’m always here to assist with future sessions or additional products.
