Here's a sample from today's Autumn Gold Portrait Day, created in the Studio! Beautiful sets, color harmony and great lighting all make for amazing portraits!
One of my clients here today had visited before with one of her teens for a 'Smile Board Session', where they come to us for a portrait when the braces come off, and always thought she'd like to bring her other child for a great portrait too. Seeing our special Photo Days announced, she took advantage of the opportunity to have the level of work she expects from this Studio, without the custom session price that she would otherwise be facing.
That, to me, is a success story. Naturally, we have to charge more for the custom sessions where there is variation in the poses, the client is in the Studio for a much longer period of time, and included post-session artwork, even up to swapping expressions, is the norm. BUT, here's a way to save money (!), when one great portrait pose is the goal, and the elements of the set assembled for the day all fall into place simply, and affordably.
I've got surgery coming up in early December.... and don't worry I'm fine... but it means I have to look ahead to the recovery period and what kind of activity I'll be allowed for mid-January and even through February. This is good news for all my clients and prospective clients, as I would like to schedule many fun Photo Days where I can work without causing any post-op injury. I want to keep busy (or go CRAZY!!!), and this kind of session will be safe, lots less physical work than many of the other specialty areas of my photography business, for example, when I go on location and lug 50# plus cases of lighting and camera equipment.
So, watch this blog, your emails if I have your address, my FaceBook or LinkedIn, for more details on Theme Portrait Days, and jump on board! Save some money, get the work you expect from me and keep me from going stir crazy through the winter months where the doctor will be expecting me to "take it easy"!! You can go right to my website, http://www.bstpierrestudio.com/, and to "Special Photo Days" to see "Theme Portraits" as they go up on the schedule. There's a couple already on there still available for this month yet! You can see the details of each Theme Day & make your appointment for the day and time that suits you, right there on the website. Pay attention to the suggested "Theme" because by its nature, it will tell you much about what kind of set to expect for that day, and then we will discuss how to personalize it for you. For example, an upcoming date is named "Holidays", and yes, that session can include elements appropriate for each client's religious preference, or no holiday theme at all. All it takes is communication and planning with me prior to the session, and we use the set appropriately for each client that day.
Look again at this sample portrait from today's Theme Portrait. Wow, huh? Could you see yourself or someone you love in this setting? Just imagine the other great settings I'll be creating! There should be something for everyone by the time I'm done. Don't miss out!
