(see different links for Newborns & Weddings)
1.) You’ve seen my work and now you want to schedule a session: Fantastic!!!
-Contact me via email or phone to schedule
Cassandra@InspiredStudiosPhoto.com or 812-239-7356
2.) We pick a time that works for both of us and you put a 50% down payment on your session fee. This is non-refundable because booking a session guarantees my time to YOU :) After this, I’ll send you an email with a link to an online contract for you to sign. No worries though, this contract isn’t anything scary :) The contract merely states the session terms that we have agreed upon, some model release info, and a bit of basic legal mumbo jumbo to firm up our agreement. If you have any questions, be sure to ask! I’m happy to discuss anything about the contract. It’s put in place to protect your investment as well as mine so I don’t want you to be afraid of it :)
3.) We discuss location options and what “look” you are going for in your session. I love to help with clothing options and location selection too, so if you want my input I am glad to offer it!
4.) Day of the session-
– You will receive approximately 1 hour of photography at the location (s) of your choice. Outfit changes and locations are unlimited, but all count toward your 1 hour of scheduled time. If a session is scheduled from 1pm-2pm, we can go to as many locations as you want and you can change clothes as many times as you want during that time frame.
-Remainder of session fee is due on date of session.
5.) After the session
– Within 1-2 weeks you will receive a link via email to view your proofing album. The images in this album will be UNEDITED (straight out of the camera, SOOC) images.
– From this album, you can select which photos you would like included on your disc and for print purchases and then those images will be meticulously tweaked (edited) to ensure that the colors are correct, blemishes are removed and that the finished image is the best it can be. This kind of editing is standard for all purchased product and does not cost an extra “retouching fee” (like it does with some photographers!) I want to portray my best work and your best “look” at all times.
-I am happy to help you select your prints, digital images, and printed products in person, via phone or via email. If you are interested in purchasing large print products for your home I will even help you measure and make decisions for those as well! I want you to LOVE what you select :)
– At this point, a 50% deposit on your print purchase is due.
6.) 2-4 weeks after the session
-Your order will be complete and will either be made available for pick-up or shipped directly to you!
-Final payment is due before pick-up/delivery.
-I will also post an online album of your finished images so that you can view and share the final images with friends and family.
Other Info:
Session fees include up to 4 people. Each additional person will be charged at $20 per person. Why is there an additional charge for groups over 4 people? The more people, the more editing that will need to be done. The more editing, the more time put into wrapping up the session. Make sense? Hope so! :)
Print Credits. If your session fee came with a print credit, the print credit must be redeemed within 7 days of your proofing album being posted online. Print credits expire after 7 days. *Print credits CAN be applied toward your image collection purchase.
Digital Images. Only edited images will be given. Why can’t unedited images be purchased? The images from your session represent my art, my business…and YOUR special moments. Until images have gone through my editing, they are not representative of either of us!
