The process:
“There are four simple steps we take you through which are all part of the studio photography experience”
- Portrait Planning Session: The first stage of your portrait photography experience at Cherished Photography begins with a complimentary portrait planning session, also known as a consultation. This is our opportunity to customize and plan the finer points of your photography shoot. We will discuss our different styles of photography and the appropriate clothing for your chosen style as well as location options. We will plan the best way to decorate your home with personalized portrait wall art. We have different frame-sizes and photography collections which are designed with you and your home in mind. Once you have had your portrait planning session you will be fully prepared for your photography shoot and have an understanding of the investment involved.
- Photography Shoot: With the planning session now behind you, your photographer will have a full understanding of your goals for your portrait session. With this in mind we will set about capturing portrait images that truly reflect you and your family. We will help you and your children relax in our comfortable, modern photography studio and encourage you to express yourselves.
- Portrait Design Appointment: (Also known as the viewing appointment) A week after your shoot you will return for your design appointment. In the viewing gallery in our studio you will see your ideas from the planning session come alive. We carefully edit and prepare the best images and guide you through the design/ordering process. Here you’ll understand that they are not just images but a piece of art you will hand down to future generations. With our state of the art software, you are able to view your images on a digital representation of your own walls. We ask that you provide us with a photo with which to do this and instructions are given.
- Collection Of Photography: Once your order is placed, your portraits are enhanced and hand crafted in our in-house printing workshop. Fully finished portraits are ready to collect between six to eight weeks after your design appointment, allowing you to share, cherish and display your definitive moments captured by Cherished Photography for years to come. This final stage completes the portrait cycle at Cherished Photography.
