#3 - ORDER
YOU CAN NOW ORDER FROM HOME(s)!
Thanks to the pandemic, online ordering became the ONLY way that we do portrait orders. We decided to keep it this way even now, which has allowed us to serve far more sessions during the day.
Order appointments averaged over two hours and were harder to schedule three or four of us at the same time.
Once your session is completed, you’ll see your previews online within 3 business days. (M-F)
1 - We back them up to both an external hard drive AND cloud server then cull them down to your best images per look and/or background with a simple rule of “if in doubt, I leave them in.” Nothing will hit the proverbial editing floor unless it’s an unflattering “no.”
2 - You’ll receive an email with an access link, password and instructions within 2-3 business days of your session.
3 - Pick your favorites by clicking the star icon. Take another pass at them deselecting or adding more to your favorites. It is MUCH easier to place your order from your favorites, so you’re only looking at your best contenders for minimum order (minimums vary by session type as seen with details when you book).
4 - Place your order online, deduct any prepay credits at checkout. If you choose “DIGITALS” they receive the same level of care as printed portraits. My professional artist (NOT AI, far more believable when done by a person) will retouch them before I prep for printing or file delivery.
We remove blemishes, dark lines, whitens eyes & teeth and any other “incidentals” while keeping you looking REAL - at no extra cost. (though we can do amazing things for $10 extra, like removing braces or unwanted objects from your favorite images)
#4 - PICK UP or DOWNLOAD…
Please keep in mind - I do a lot of off-site work. Drop-ins are not an option. You’ll be notified by email and/or phone when your images are ready to be picked up (unless you chose shipping when you ordered)
No need to call first if you BOOK A TIME TO PICK UP YOUR PRINTED IMAGES (and/or Thumb drive of purchased images)
If you purchased image-files for printing on your own, you will receive very detailed instructions via email once they are fully edited/retouched. Nothing is delivered until my amazing retouch artist applying her magic. Once she’s done, I adjust color for sRGB printing (the format retail labs use - NOT INK JET) Home printers are 4+ colors in the range of CMYK - they will not look like intended.
Digital files are delivered via email so you can start sharing before your wall portraits arrive. If you order printed portraits from any of your poses, we’ll include a FREE THUMB DRIVE that can be picked up with your completed wall or desk portraits. The thumb drive will only include purchased (finished) images.
Having “all digital files” might sound like great bait, but we only deliver perfected images that reveal your favorite, purchased selections from several options.
Still have questions, I’m quick at replying via email. If you prefer phone, you’ll see that below as well. Your VM will be transcribed to my mobile so I can check while out of the studio. As you’ll see by samples - I’m not tethered to the camera room and am open to any creative ideas you may have.
