Experience
"I felt like I was just hanging out with a friend"
"Gem is such a sweetheart! Did my first ever couples session with her and she made my partner and I feel so comfortable. She is super easy to talk to and will hype you up during the entire session. Gem guided us the entire time and I felt like I was just hanging out with a friend:) The photos came out so dreamy! It’s set as my wallpaper! Definitely book a session with Gem if you want something that’s raw and authentic!!" - Crystal
Step 1
Reach out! Tell me about yourself so we can become friends, as well as what you're looking for! You can do this through the contact form!
Once I receive your inquiry, I will respond within 1 to 2 business days so we can secure a date for your session, if needed (and always with weddings), we'll schedule a 15-minute call:)
Step 2
During our phone call, we'll discuss the type of photos you’d like, details and vision for your wedding/shoot. I will provide any recommendations I might have and tips for how I photograph, and I'll answer any of your questions as well! I always find it best to talk on the phone to make sure we have a good start to our friendship:)
Step 3
After making sure we know we'll be besties for life, you will receive a proposal for my photography services, and the pricing for your photoshoot. Once you’ve looked everything over, we'll both sign a short agreement (to protect us both), and pay a small retainer to hold your date.
Step 4
Now it's getting exciting!! Depending on the services booked, you will receive various guides and questionnaires to help you plan for your upcoming shoot. I might provide outfit, location, or timeline guides to help you plan and to set expectations for your session. You can expect these 3 to 4 weeks ahead of your session.
Step 5
The day is fast approaching, yay! I love to make sure you are fully prepared and that all details are finalized. I will reach out to confirm your session and will be able to answer any questions you might have before we meet.
Note: Please do not forget to pay the remainder of your invoice before the session. This is required to move forward with your photoshoot.
Step 6
I'm so excited! Today is the day!! Make sure you arrive on time with everyone ready to go! Depending on the location and time of day, timing can make or break our photoshoot!
Here are some things to expect during your session:
- I will give prompts and direct you throughout to ensure you receive both posed and candid photos.
- Movement is key - don't be afraid to move! Overall just come happy and confident in your love and yourself:)
Step 7
The day I know you can't wait for! Within 3 to 5 weeks of your photography session, (6-8 for weddings), you will receive a link to your photo gallery through Pixieset. This is the easiest way to deliver high-quality photos so that you can enjoy them straight away, and even print them from your gallery! Just make sure you download them! Taking a screenshot ruins the quality!
Step 8
I truly hope you enjoyed your experience with me and that we're already planning your next shoot or a time to hangout together:) Testimonials about your experience with me truly help to grow my business and are so so appreciated!! To leave me a quick review, you can share through an Instagram post caption/story, send me a quick email at foto.gemz@gmail.com, or leave me a google review here. Thank you so so much!
