meet and greet
   who are you
   who am I
   what do you need to know
   what else do you want me to know
   talk about some words
   setting our date
   we’ll have created our foundation
capture your magic
   you’ll be guided
   you’ll see what we’re getting
   you’ll be able to have input
apply my magic
   I work with the images
   taking the real and adding the dream
   turning it into what you imagined
   turning it into who you are
be amazed
   view the vision that I created
   or maybe a few different versions
   suggest what could make it even better
   say “we love it”
seeing it in your home

Of course this is important. But first let’s quickly talk apples and pomegranates. Let’s say “apples” are “pictures of yourself.” Selfies. Vacation pics. But here I’m talking “pomegranates.” Something special. Out of the ordinary. That’s what this is. You end up with a framed piece of art. The magic is the energy of your relationship that is captured forever.

That’s what, after doing photos for all my life, I have figured out that I am best at. Getting at peoples’ essence. And with this I want people to truly celebrate each other.

At the “gallery” session in my studio I will show you your artwork possibilities, and we will discuss the different sizes for your chosen artwork. Because some people have lots of wall space, and others maybe less, I offer them in any of 3 sizes: 16×20, 20×24 or 24×30. (A framed print in one of these sizes is included in your fee.) I offer larger sizes too in case you’ve got those 11’ ceilings in your home. There is also an option to purchase other images that you didn’t select for your main artwork. 

The fee for this experience is  $750. 

My talent is getting you to feel relaxed, then guiding you through the photo session. It’s a “go with the flow” kind of thing. If you’re a playful couple I’ll encourage that, and then some! If you’re quieter and more low-key, some soft music playing and you’ll forget I’m there, being so focused on each other. I build on your personalities, drawing out what makes you you.

Tuxedo and ball gown is always a good place to start. OK, just kidding (unless, of course, that’s YOU). Otherwise I say choose clothes that feel the most “you.” The images are in black and white so color won’t be a factor. And, really, I won’t want you thinking about the clothes and whether you feel right in them. I’d rather you concentrate on each other.

That can be a phrase you use between you. It can be something that comes up in the photo session. It might be a reaction to the final image choice. It could be my impression of you. It can come from anywhere. You have final say over what becomes part of your final artwork.
