Last week I published a blog post listing five reasons to book your photos in advance. After writing it and proofreading it over and over again and then publishing it.. I realized I forgot the most important reason of all!!!
PLANNING YOUR FINANCES!
I am not here to tell you that I am the most affordable photographer in the area. I understand my services may not be in your budget and that's okay! But, for my clients I am. And when they book in advance, they are giving themselves plenty of time to save or plan out their investment with me. You also have the opportunity to create a payment plan if needed.
When you book your session 3-6 months in advance, even a year.. it takes the stress off of making large payments all at once. From experience, I know this is helpful for my clients who book their sessions for the Summer and Fall. In the Summer, you're likely going on vacation which can also be an expense and in the Fall it's birthday parties galore plus the holidays are approaching and we all know you're trying to make that time of year the most magical for your kiddos!
So, what is the investment when booking with me? I break it down for you in the "Investment" tab here on my website. Here is a direct link for you. After directly contacting me through my website, you will receive a more in-depth breakdown of what it's like to work with me :)
Through the whole process I hold your hand every step of the way. From the initial inquiry, choosing the best date, my Getting to Know You questionnaire, styling your family/helping you decide what to wear, finding the perfect location, having a fun and seamless session, hand-editing the final images for you so they are up to my standard and in the style that you see here on my website, delivering your private-online gallery and providing you with top quality heirloom products plus digital files to order after viewing your gallery a million times.
So much goes into your professional photos with me. I am happy, grateful and honored to provide this experience for you while you preserve your family's most precious memories.
