I wanted to take a minute to talk about what the process of booking with me looks like! This is of course for a typical family, maternity or newborn shoot. I have made this handy flow chart to help clarify:
First thing you need to know is that booking is super easy! Just contact me! You can do that through Direct message on Instagram, Messenger on Facebook, you can email me at Korycallihanphotography@gmail.com, or you can call or text me. All my contact information is listed on the contact page of my website. Which is here. From there we will pick a date and place.
Next you will receive three emails from me. Don’t get overwhelmed! If you ever have any questions just let me know. These emails are:
1. A model release (so that I can use your pictures for my website, social media and portfolio.)
2. General Photography Contract (this is standard).
3. An invoice. (the first payment of $100 is due within the week to hold the date).
You can sign these contracts through ShootProof online for your convenience. You can also pay with a credit or debit card through ShootProof or you can send cash or check.
Then after all the contracts are signed and payments are made, I send you a beautiful welcome packet so that you know what to expect with your shoot. I also send a what to wear guide and some resources that might help you in that area.
Next, I want you to start getting excited for your shoot! I assure you, I am thinking and planning for your photo shoot, and would love it if you communicate what shots are important to you.
By this time your photo shoot date has arrived. You have paid the remainder of your invoice. Now comes the fun part! Come to your photo shoot relaxed and ready! After the shoot is complete we will schedule a viewing and ordering session. I really see this session as an additional service. It can be hard and overwhelming to go through your photos and narrow down your favorites. It can be overwhelming to pick out which ones you want as prints. So at this session I help you to do just that! I also can show you sizes and samples of everything. It is very helpful to see product examples before you order them.
Next, I spend time culling and editing. I hand edit every picture I deliver. I am very picky and will only select the very best ones for your gallery. After the gallery is ready, I will contact you to remind you of our viewing and ordering session.
Next, I will sit down with you and go through your photos at a viewing and ordering session. You also will receive access to the gallery online through ShootProof. You will receive an email saying your gallery is ready. Then you can share it with your family and friends. You and your family and friends can order prints! This is available for a limited time, as you will also receive the digital images on a thumb drive. The prints you specifically order through the gallery will come directly to me. Or at our viewing and ordering session, I will help place your order, and then I receive it. When I receive the prints and products I repackage it to reflect my brand, and add your thumb drive with all of your digital images. I then get your package to you either through the mail or directly to you! At this point I remove the gallery online.
Next, I send you a review request. I ask that if you have enjoyed your experience you’d leave me a 5 star review. You can do this through google or Facebook. I give some prompts to think about when writing your review too! I want to make it as easy as possible!
And that’s it!! I hope you book with me! I really do value every single client I have, and I truly enjoy gushing over your photos. I hope we can connect over our mutual love for art and good photography. Hope to hear from you soon!
