We’re so glad you’ve chosen Honey Bee Photography! Here are some things that you can expect to happen with your photo session
Please follow the recommendations laid out for you in “Clothing Tips”
This document was written to help you make the best decisions for how to dress you and your family, and kind of decide what kind of portraiture you want for your wall
I will consult with you on what kind of photo session and what you are looking to put on your walls at your home
Are you looking for a cohesive wall arrangement? Are you looking for scrapbooking portraits, or gifts for family? Do you need greeting cards for the holidays? (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, New Years, Valentine’s Day, Passover, Easter, Fourth of July) Do you need Thank You cards for a special occasion? (Birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, weddings, graduations) Talking about these things and other subjects will help me to find out what exactly you are looking for so we can make a session just for you that fits your family’s personality and spirit
We also discuss location
I have a studio in my home on base, so if you require a base pass, I will meet you at the Boniface gate. More information about that can be discussed in our conversation. I can meet you at your favorite place, like a park or the woods near your home or downtown Anchorage. I can also photograph at your home, with natural light/flash
When we finally get together for your session
you can expect many different poses of your whole family, and then individuals of just the kids, them together, them with mom, and then with dad, and then some with mom and dad. Some will be traditionally posed, some will be a little more creative, and some will be just of you guys interacting with each other. Your session will last as long as the time is allotted for per the information on my Session Retainer list
When your session is over I have some paperwork for you to fill out
Your sneak peek will be available within 3 days of your session and your images within 10 days to 2 weeks, if not sooner. I edit all images by hand, and things like eyes are enhanced, skin softened where needed and teeth whitened. If you follow my recommendations then less enhancing will be needed to be done and you will get your images faster
Your images will be up for 30 days in your private gallery
Within that time period, send the link to all your friends and family, and if they want to order please get that information from them. The day after your images go online I will call you to set up the appointment to come and view them on my computer in full size and resolution. Payment is expected at the time of ordering, and I accept cash, checks, MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover. When you order within 30 days of receiving your image gallery, you can take off 50% (60% for E-5 and below)
I try to keep shipping charges to a minimum for my clients
What this means is that your order may take about 2 weeks to arrive due to getting more orders from other clients. Most of my orders come in at least 2 boxes, because of ordering products and Wall portraits like 20x24s come in separate boxes. At $15 per box, you can see it gets really expensive. If you need your portraits quickly, then you’ll be charged for the full amount of shipping
When your order comes in, I call you and we can meet somewhere, or you can come to pick up the order
