MY STYLE
Emotive, story-telling images with your family in our studio or one of our outdoor locations. We have lots of fun at these sessions! We will capture images of you playing with your kids, laughing and snuggling. I will wrangle your littles and even make your hubby smile!
SCHEDULING
A session agreement and invoice to pay session retainer will be sent to you via email. Sessions are scheduled after the session agreement and session retainer is received. Studio sessions take place in my Troy, Michigan studio and outdoor locations will be chosen based on what you are looking for. Booking 2-3 months in advance is recommended to ensure availability on my schedule.
CONSULTATION & WARDROBE
Sessions are styled during our consultation. Studio gowns are available for parent portraits. You will receive a Wardrobe Guide to prepare you and your family for your portrait session, with tips and links to actual stores I recommend for easy ordering & our new Styling Tool to help pick outfits and links to order.
RETOUCHING
A soft proofed online gallery will be sent to you to view & order your images about a week after your session. Skin retouching, such as blemish removal and tone correction is included to give skin a natural, polished look to the images you choose. Additional editing should be discussed in advance of your final product creation.
“You captured our family so beautifully and made it so easy to feel comfortable taking pictures. I hated having my pictures taken. You helped with planning prior to the session which was key and you helped make me feel comfortable during the session. We now have beautiful, priceless photos to remember such a special time in our lives. Melissa has an amazing ability to capture a memory!"
