The Portrait Experience

Portrait sessions capture your growing child, preteen or teen as they head off into the world and/or your talented child as they dance their way through life. I have loved capturing these moments in life, because they next time they may be getting professional photos of themselves could be their wedding day. Capture the beauty of the moments as they look to graduating high school or college and head out into the world.

Your portrait session experience starts here! Once you've completed the contact form, I will reach out to you either in 24-36 business hours. 

I will also send you information about how a portrait session flows and more. We will then have a short phone call to discuss your vision for your session. 

If you decide to move forward with a portrait session, we will then plan a date, and your session fee will be collected. 

1. Say Hello

Once your session fee has been collected we will then plan your perfect session. From colors to outfits, you and I will discuss all the ends and outs of your session. 
I typically only take a handful of portrait sessions each month so it is advised to book early to guarantee a spot. The earlier you book the better so I can make sure I have all the items you need for your session. Portrait sessions are normally photographed M-F during business hours. It's best to book senior and dancer sessions in the summer when school is out. 

2. Schedule it

Before your portrait session you will receive a  prep guide that will prepare you and your little one for their big day. When the day arrives you will come into the studio where we will then go through outfits, silks for tossing, back drop set ups and more. Sessions can take up to 2 hours. Please let me know if hair and makeup is something you would like to book as well.

Once your session is completed, we will discuss your reveal and ordering appointment. 

3. the session

About a week after your session, we will have your reveal and ordering appointment. This is normally done via zoom, but I am happy to accommodate any needs for in person reveals. 

Your reveal appointment is where you will see your l portraits for the first time. Some images will be edited so you can envision what the final artwork will look like. You will also be able to purchase any heirloom artwork and pieces to display in your home. 

4. Your Reveal

After we finalize the retouching of your fine art images you will receive the digital copies in an online album. Please allow 2-3 weeks for digitals and 4-6 week for products and artwork. Specialty artwork like the guilded canvas may take longer. 

Once your heirloom artwork and images have been delivered I will check them over to test for any abnormalities. Once checked over, I will either deliver your products to you personally, or mail them to you. They are then yours to enjoy for your lifetime!

I can't wait to hear from you

From the very first time I spoke with Ansley I knew this was going to be a great experience. She did our maternity pictures and will do newborn pictures when our baby arrives. She made me feel so comfortable, we laughed and had a blast during the entire shoot. Our maternity pictures are absolutely magical. The entire experience was dreamy, from the hair and make up, to picking our pictures out. Choose Van Epps photography! You will not be disappointed!
