The Frames: The frames are offered in three adorable shapes – styles shown. Available in vintage-toned black, brown, or white. You will also have the opportunity to upgrade to a three image wall display or an 11x14 framed print for a great deal! (We love the frames! But if you don’t love the frames, we’ll offer you a different frame style or $40 toward a canvas, float wrap, or any large print over 11x14).
The Session: Sessions will be approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour each. Each session may include just the kids or the whole family, up to 5 individuals. Additional individuals (beyond 5) may be added for $15 each. Family sessions include cuddle time, play time, posed time. Individual pictures of each child and any combination of kids only + the whole family are absolutely included. Each session is custom, low-key, and cherished family fun time. Kids should have fun and the images will reflect their joy! Shannon will work with them individually and make each session a playful experience, not a forced time of dread. We will shoot at multiple outdoor settings within the Como Park and Como Lake area, offering you lots of variety and a family experience to remember. We will spend some time via email and an online consultation planning your session.
The What-to-Wear Question: Shannon has provided an array of visual ideas on the Feather Blue Studios pinterest page. Check out http://www.pinterest.com/FeatherBlue22 and peak at the ideas shown – don’t forget to read the notes for a better understanding of which things work and which don’t.
The Details: A $50 deposit is due to reserve your session. The balance is due at your session or in the days before, via cash, check, or credit card. Your in-person ordering appointment will be set up for about two weeks after your session, and your images will be available to view online within approximately ten days. There is no minimum order and no packages to squeeze into; all prints are offered a la carte! Small prints start at $18, wall portraits start at $89, multi-image collages start at $169. Orders of $450 or more receive a 10% custom-collection discount. You are welcome to conveniently pay for your print order in 2 or 3 segments. Holiday cards are available as well, in over 50 designs! Order your Christmas cards by September and cross one thing off your list.
The Weather: In the case of rain we will re-schedule on an individual basis around your schedule. Clouds are no reason to reschedule, but rain is problematic. We will be in close touch regarding the weather if it seems to be an issue.
The Best-Deal-of-the-Year Note: We will NOT be offering an October fall outdoor special this year. This summer special is replacing our usual fall campaign. Why? Shannon is expecting a baby late November, and playing it safe seems like a good idea. :) Regular shoots will still be available through October 10th, 2013 pending all goes as planned, but this summer special will be the best deal of the year on outdoor and studio photography sessions for your family or the kids. Don’t miss out!
