Why you should consider doing a lifestyle session | Central Kentucky Lifestyle Photographer

There is just something so special about having your photo session in the comfort of your home. But like most people (including myself), you might not feel comfortable with having your home photographed or might not have the right lighting in your homes. That is where these mini sessions come in. Taylor Reynold’s of TayReynolds Photography and I have came together to offer you guys some Lifestyle Mini Sessions located in the cutest farmhouse right off of highway 80 in Nancy, KY.

I’m sure you have saw my advisement for these sessions already but let me take this opportunity to explain to you how this will work and reasons why these will be the perfect session for you.

What to expect

  1. Booking

UPON EMAILING / MESSAGING ME, WE WILL DISCUSS A PERFECT TIME SLOT THAT WILL WORK OUT BEST FOR US BOTH! A RETAINER FEE NEEDS TO BE SUBMITTED IN ORDER TO OFFICIALLY GET ON THE SCHEDULE. ONCE WE DO THAT, YOU ARE IN AND WE WILL BEGIN THE FUN PART OF PLANNING YOUR SESSION EXPERIENCE TOGETHER! THE BEST PART ABOUT THESE MINI SESSIONS ARE THAT WE CAN CUSTOMIZE EVERYTHING.

IF YOU WANT TO GET SOME PHOTOS OF YOU AND YOUR LOVER ON THE COUCH SNUGGLING, WE CAN DO THAT. IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A PILLOW FIGHT ON THE BED, WE CAN DO THAT. IF YOU’D LIKE TO BAKE CHRISTMAS (OR REGULAR) COOKIES IN THE FARM STYLE KITCHEN, WE CAN DO THAT. AND DID I MENTION THAT THERE IS A CREEK IN THE BACK YARD SO IF YOU WANTED TO HOP OUT FOR A FEW OUTDOOR SHOTS, WE CAN DO THAT!!! THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF THIS, IT FITS YOUR STYLE AND WANTS FOR YOUR PORTRAITS.

2. Client Resources

ONCE YOUR SESSION HAS BEEN SCHEDULED AND I’VE RECEIVED YOUR RETAINER FEE, I WILL DIRECT YOU TO MY CLIENT QUESTIONNAIRE SO THAT I CAN GET TO KNOW YOU ALL BETTER. I WILL GIVE YOU INFORMATION ON MY EXCLUSIVE CLIENT FACEBOOK GROUP. ALSO I HAVE INFORMATION LISTED BELOW TO MY WHAT TO WEAR GUIDE AND SUGGESTED RETAILERS TO CHECK OUT WHILE SHOPPING FOR YOUR SESSION!

3. Planning

NOW THAT I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHAT WITH YOU AND YOUR VISION FOR YOUR LIFESTYLE SESSION, I WILL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE ANYTHING NEEDED. TAYLOR AND I THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING A FEW CHRISTMAS THROW PILLOWS FOR THE COUCH OR A CHRISTMAS LOOKING THROW BLANKET JUST TO GIVE THE HOME SOME CHRISTMAS VIBES. I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER SNACKS AND HOT CHOCOLATE, WHICH WE COULD TOTALLY USE IN THE PHOTOS AS WELL. OH AND IF YOU WANT TO BAKE COOKIES, WE’LL BRING SOME OF THOSE SUPER CUTE CHRISTMAS SUGAR COOKIES WITH US. I’M JUST NAMING IDEAS RIGHT NOW, THIS IS COMPLETELY UP TO YOU SO LETS GET PLANNING.

 4. Session Day

I BELIEVE THAT FOCUSING MORE ON FEELING AND LESS ON POSING CREATES MEANINGFUL AND MOVING IMAGES. DUE TO THIS CORE BELIEF, I’VE COME UP WITH A METHOD OF ‘POSING’ THAT COMBINES DIRECTION AND PROMPTS TO FOSTER AUTHENTIC EMOTIONS AND MAKE SESSIONS MORE ENJOYABLE. WITH THIS AIR BNB, WE HAVE MANY OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM AS FAR AS WHERE YOU’D LIKE YOUR SESSION TO TAKE PLACE. WE’LL DISCUSS THIS PRIOR TO YOUR TIME AND TRUST ME, WE CAN CREATE MAGIC IN THE 30 MINUTES WE HAVE PROVIDED. IF YOU’D RATHER HAVE MORE TIME AND WANT TO DO TWO SLOTS SO THAT YOU HAVE 60 MINUTES, THAT IS TOTALLY OKAY TO. JUST LET ME KNOW BEFOREHAND.

5. Image Delivery 

THESE SESSIONS TAKE UP TO 2-3 WEEKS TO BE COMPLETED (RIGHT IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS). ONCE THEY’RE FINISHED, YOU’RE IMAGES WILL THEN BE FULLY HAND-EDITED WITH OUR PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE. ONCE YOU’RE IMAGES HAVE BEEN EDITED AND ARE READY FOR YOU, YOU WILL BE SENT AN ONLINE GALLERY VIA EMAIL FOR DOWNLOADING YOUR PHOTOS IMMEDIATELY. EVERY COLLECTION COMES WITH PERSONAL USAGE AND PRINTING RIGHTS, SO YOU CAN SHARE WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY ON SOCIAL MEDIA, CREATE BEAUTIFUL ALBUMS TO HAND DOWN TO YOUR CHILDREN AND HANG YOUR MEMORIES PROUDLY ON THE WALLS INSIDE OF YOUR HOME.

6. Enjoy

THE SESSION MAY BE OVER, BUT THE ONE THING ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHS, IS THEY LAST FOREVER. I ENCOURAGE MY CLIENTS TO CREATE AN ALBUM FOR EVERY SESSION THEY HAVE, AND ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILDREN TO ENJOY AND LOOK THROUGH THEM! CHOOSE A FEW FAVORITES TO FRAME AND HANG ON THE WALLS INSIDE OF YOUR HOMES. THEN, KEEP IN TOUCH UNTIL YOUR NEXT SESSION! I VALUE MY CLIENT’S AND THE RELATIONSHIPS I BUILD WITH THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES.
