THE before, during,

initial consultation Every session begins with an initial in-person or phone consultation so

we can get to know one another. Your place or somewhere in-between

or on the phone, we love to meet or chat over a cup of tea or coffee and

learn more about you and your family, your goals for the portrait

session, and ideas for decorating your home. We also encourage clients

to use this time for questions and ideas;. We also love to give you ideas

on what to wear:)

booking the date Once you've decided on the right photography package for your family,

we'll go ahead and get the date booked for your photo session! In order

to reserve your day, a non-refundable $150 session fee deposit is

required. We 'll work with your schedule to find a perfect day and time

for the session!

taking pictures On the day of your session, we 'll meet at the agreed location and time

and start snapping away! A portrait session can take anywhere from 1-2

hours. There 's really no rush - or general time limit - just what feels

natural. It generally takes at least 30 minutes for us to "warm up" to­

gether, meaning getting comfortable and feeling relaxed in front of(or

behind!) the lens. After that, it's really up to the photographed subject

as to how long the session will last. Tbis is the fun part - let us do

the work!

4 ordering session

Tbe photos have been taken, individually retouched with great love and

care, and now it's time for you to see the end result of all our hard work

and planning! One of our clients' favorite parts of the entire Enraptured

Photography experience is getting to see their beautiful image! We pro­

vide a link to your private online gallery so you can view them in the

comfort on your own home. At this point in time, you'll have the oppor­

tunity to choose the photographs you would like to have as prints,

albums, canvas, or a variety of other handcrafted photo products we

offer. We can make recommendations for photo products we think

would enhance your living space! This is your time to ask questions ,

place orders, and get excited about your images.

IDEAS & INSPIRATION:

choosing your location

& picking props

choosing a location The location of your photoshoot can be anywhere­

from your bedroom to a nearby park or restaurant. At

Enraptured Photography we believe the most impor­

tant factor in choosing a location should be its emo­

tional value to you and your family. Being in the

same spot something wonderfully memorable hap­

pened in the past can evoke strong emotions and

great moments in front of the lens (think first kiss, a

special "I love you" moment, first date, etc.). Natural

settings, such as parks and wilderness, the beach can

create beautiful backdrops for photographs. If you

prefer your photoshoot indoors, rooms with big win­

dows and lots of light are always a great choice!

ENRAPTURED PHOTOGRAPHY • 0425.711.945 • WWW.ENRAPTUREDPHOTOGRAPHY.COM

picking out props Props are any kind of object or item included in photo­

graphs. In general, props can add detail, interest, and

meaning to your images, especially when they hold

sentimental value to you or your family. Ideas include

baby blankets or wraps, love letters, heirloom furni­

ture, a vintage dress handed down in the family, old

photographs, handkercheifs, shoes, trophies, a suit­

case, travel souvenirs, or anything else that's close to

your heart. We love working with props; if you have

questions or need ideas, just ask!

IDEAS & INSPIRATION:

how to dress the ittle ones

One of the most frequently asked questions from

our clients is what to wear on the day of the pho­

toshoot! We've put together this guide based on

current trends as well as our own experience

with what looks great on camera. If you have

any questions or ideas of your own, we'd love to

hear them! The process of planning and shop­

ping for outfits is one of our clients' favorite

parts of their photography experience.

Little Firefighter ~ Patterns and stripes always look

great on camera. Having a pop-color,

such as a bright red against white

and grey, adds depth and focal points.

Adding a small toy for baby to play

with makes for fun photos and keeps

the little guy entertained!

Flower Girl ~ A flower-themed outfit is

never out of style for

your little miss. Pick a

flower - such as this pink

peony - and let the rest

of the outfit follow! Hats

and single flowers make

great accents and keep

baby both comfortable

and interested.

TheArtist ~ What could be more fun

for a curious baby than

to be a painter for a day?

Let your little one's cre­

ativity shine by provid­

ing him with an outfit he

can "decorate" himself,

and safe paint supplies

to play with!

y Pretty In Pink Solid fuschia pop tones look great

set against polka dot or floral pat­

terns. Warm booties keep baby com­

fortable and happy! A simple flower

headpiece adds an extra touch of

cuteness magic!

..

Miss Princess ~ Let your little lady be a princess

for a day, complete with tutu, spar­

kle shoes, and of course the crown!

Adding a prop such as this ribbon

wand adds wonderful detail to your

images and keeps the princess en­

tertained.

ENRAPTURED PHOTOGRAPHY • 0425.711.945 • WWW.ENRAPTUREDPHOTOGRAPHY.COM

Puddlechaser ~ For cool, wet days you can never go

wrong with a button -up coat, bright

leggings, and comfy boots! A perfect

outdoor outfit for your little girL

Little Gardener ~ A warm sweater, shoes, and jeans

are all your little guy needs for his

outdoor adventure in the garden!

A watering can or trowel gives

boys a fun job to do during the

shoot, keeping him focused in front

of the camera

......: Classic Kiddo Bright red and navy are a classic

color combination - and always a hit

on camera - for little boys. Add in

some leather sandals, a favorite

teddy bear, and a red balloon to com­

plete the look.

IDEAS & INSPIRATION:

session themes

newborn -14 days old

Newborn sessions capture your precious baby just

days after their arrival. We have two session styles -

"lifestyle" and "posed". Lifestyle sessions focus on

baby in his natural surroundings, non-posed, some­

times with Mom and Dad in the photos as well. Posed

sessions may take quite a bit longer and result in

photographs where baby looks like a sweet, sleeping

doll. We love both styles of newborn sessions and will

work with you to get the newborn photos of your

dreams!

happy baby p to 1 year

Baby sessions can be loads of fun and loads of work

for everyone, but these sweet photos will quickly

become family heir looms! Baby sessions can be in a

variety of themes, styles, and locations - anything

from in-the-nude on a soft wool rug to costumes in

the outdoors! Props, cute outfits, and interesting lo­

cations are welcomed.

Depending on the age of your children and what you'd like to accomplish in your photo session, we have a wide variety of

session themes and ideas to offer you! If you'd like to come up with a unique session theme for your family or child, we'd

love to get creative with you! Here are a few popular ideas based on experience with past clients.

outdoor explorer oddler

For children a bit older, outdoor exploration sessions

are a perfect way to capture your child's personality

while piquing their curiosity. We'll work with you to

pick a beautiful, safe location with lots of interesting

plants, animals, and rocks to explore, then follow

your wee one on his adventure through the thicket!

Outdoor explorations prevent mid-session tantrums

by allowing your child to set the pace of the shoot.

1St irthdays

Imagine your adorable baby having his/her way with a

birthday cake - and getting photos to document it all!

Icing-covered faces and fists, giggles, smiles, and cos­

tumes make these images unforgettable. 1st

Birthdays are a great way to hav fun with photos!

scheduling Planning in advance is the key to success! If your

family or child has a daily routine, it's best to

schedule the photo session in a way that works

with, not against, this routine. If your child has a

certain naptime, we'll plan the shoot to be either

before or after she wakes up to prevent tantrums

and fatigue. If your baby generally sleeps during

the afternoon, a morning session may be best. We

are here to make your session a success, and will

work with you individually to find a time and

place that fits the family and the beautiful

natural light!

weather If we 've chosen an outdoor location for your

photos, we will most likely be at the mercy of the

weather! If the day turns out to be extremely hot,

which can be dangerous and frustrating for the

family, we'll find an alternate date for the photos.

Similarly, for rainstorms, snow, or extreme cold,

we'd rather reschedule than push everyone into

an uncomfortable place! We will be in communi­

cation the day before and day of the session to

discuss any challenges that may arise and deal

with them in the most convenient way possible

for your family.

IT'S THE DAY OF MY SESSION

should I expect? cont 'd

taking it slow Children are unpredictable - a characteristic

that makes them so lovable -but also difficult to

plan around. It's something we completely un­

derstand! For this reason, we always carve out a

large chunk of time to make sure your session

isn't rushed. If baby needs to be changed or fed,

take your time. If a toddler is getting tired or

frustrated, we can take a snack break to relax

and regroup. If you and your family are feeling

uncomfortable or exhausted, we can pause for a

drink of water and a rest in the shade. Tbis is

your photo session and we'll work at the pace of

you and your family! There 's no need to rush­

just relax and enjoy the experience with us.

keeping it positive It can be difficult to get kids to cooperate in the

best of circumstances, and many times they may

feel uncomfortable with a photographer they

don't know well in an unfamiliar place. We work

hard to get those perfect poses, but never with

negative reinforcement or discipline. We use only

positive, confidence-boosting methods to gain

your child's trust and cooperation during the

photoshoot, and ask parents that they do the

same. We find that the best photographic results

come from using the carrot rather than the stick!

Wben working with babies and children, safety is

our first priority. Wben we photograph babies

and newborns, we ask that mom and dad stay at

arm's length to make sure baby's kept safe and

sound under all circumstances. Wben planning

an outdoor, on -location shoot with kids, we make

sure the site is safe and suitable for children

ahead of time. Ifthere's any question as to

whether or not a location, pose, or prop is safe for

your family, we always err on the side of caution.

And if mom or dad feel uncomfortable with the

situation, we're happy to find alternatives to

make sure everyone is kept out of harm's way.

We always recommend a professional stylist to help cultivate your look for your photoshoot. What you see

in the mirror isn't always what you get on camera, and an experienced stylist knows this! A professional

stylist is able to amplify your best features while masking others, ensuring a final photographic result you

will love to look back on for years to come. Here are some recommended stylists we've worked with in the

past - and know just how to make you look stunning on camera.
