HOW BOOKING A HomeGrown Business Session WORKS
I have broken down this process so it's wide open and clear to you as to exactly how I work!
A HomeGrown Business Session is a natural, organic experience. My goal is to tell your story, in the most honest and heartfelt way possible.
I will spend an entire day with you. I will come to your workshop, restaurant, café, office, or studio and capture you in your element. I will follow you and your employees throughout a work day and take in each and every detail of the process. (And I promise not to get in your way!)
I want to have a coffee, tea, or beer with you and talk to you about how your business came to be. I want to hear about all of the blood sweat and tears that you put into it to get to where you are today. I want to hear about your successes AND your failures. I want to capture the true essence of you and I want to help you tell the world exactly who you are and how there isn't anyone else out there like you.
I want you to look back over the images and the site we will build together and simply say, 'YES. THIS is who I am. THIS is my craft. THIS is exactly what I want to say to the world.'
ALL sessions begin the same way, with me coming to your space and taking your picture! Each package includes a 4 hour session on location(your business space). We will talk about you and your business, how you got into your craft and your journey to making it your career! I will spend time photographing the behind the scenes, details of the space, you and your employees making magic, as well as a 'formal' portrait session of you and any top players you might want head shots of as well. (I use the term 'formal' loosely.. I use as little artificial lighting as possible, and I don't use studio style backdrops. All 'backdrops' will be your business' space itself.. i.e.; A chef in his kitchen or dining room, a bartender behind the bar, a dancer in her dance studio, a brewer in his brewery, an artist in her studio, and craftsman in his workshop.. etc.). Your session includes an online proofing gallery with at least 50 fully edited images from our session together for you to review.
STEP ONE | CHOOSING A PACKAGE
The first step is the booking and paying for your session fee. Once this has been established, you now have to choose a package. I always recommend the complete process, as I believe with all of my heart and soul that the entire experience from start to finish is what creates a solid, consistent, and HONEST message. Photography is included in ALL of my packages. Photography is my number one way of seeing and understanding you and your craft. I do NOT work with other people's images. I just wouldn't be able to accurately convey your story if I wasn't present throughout the entire process.
That being said, however, I do offer a few options;
- Option A: $675 Digital Photography Collection
The Digital Photography Session is for those looking to perhaps revamp their already existing website and/or Social Media with new images. This package includes your session fee as well as ALL fully edited web resolution files (without watermark) from your session to use on your social media and website. Digital files are delivered immediately upon payment. Due to the nature of these offerings, there are no refunds, returns or exchanges.
- Option B: $2200 Website and Digital Collection
Do you already have your Brand created but you feel like you need a little refresh? Tired of your website? Wanting to go for a cleaner, simpler, more photographic approach and create an honest presence on your website and social media? This package is for you! This package includes your session, digital collection, and a new photo-oriented website using images from our shoot. It includes a landing page as well as up to 4 additional pages. We would sit down and discuss in depth your vision for your site and social media as well as your goals with your site and social media.
- Option C: $2800 The Total Branding Experience
Are you just starting out, or have been in business for a little while but are now deciding to finally take the plunge and tell the world who you really are??
- Option D: $25 À la Carte
This option is available for those who do not want to purchase the entire collection, and only want a handful of images from their session. This package is 25 dollars per digital, high-resolution file. (Just to make it clear for you, if you want ten or more images from your collection, it is in your best interest to go with Option A. You will be getting ALL of your images for the same price as just 11 à la carte!)
With your session fee of $875 you will receive:
-A 60-minute session in a location of your choosing! I am always willing to give suggestions for beautiful locations, but I prefer it be a special place to you.
-A private online proofing gallery of AT LEAST 25 fully edited images
- The photographer's choice of 3 web-size digital files delivered immediately after your session for you to share on social media
S T E P T W O | T H E S E S S I O N
I will send you a helpful .pdf that will go over all the details that we will have discussed via email or telephone prior to your session! I can also help with any questions you may have as to what to wear, hair and/or makeup services if that is something you might be interested in having done, etc.
But most importantly, I want you to just be you and feel good about our special time together.
STEP THREE | CHOOSE YOUR PACKAGE
I will send you an online proofing gallery. From there, you will choose which type of package you'd like. I chose to do this after the session because I want you to see all of the images and then make the decision as to what the best option for you is. The session fee covers only the session, as noted above. What you choose to add on is up to you, and you do not have to order anything until after you receive your proofing gallery!
