ANNOUNCING ! Photography + Design

I have been alluding to you, my portrait clients (this doesn't apply to my wedding clients), that some major and exciting changes are afoot. I am hereby announcing the launch of Jessica Photo: Photography + Design.

What does this mean? (Lots of new marketing materials need to be made!) Really though...From start to finish working with me with will be different. The photo shoot is the same, of course, but what surrounds it - your service level - will be very different. I am gearing this change toward a very high level of personal service. Instead of just shooting great portraits the whole will be addressed - meaning I will help design the space where you hang your portraits. Also, I will be bringing with me a 28 page book filled with ideas on how/where to hang your portraits.

After your photo shoot your portraits will be posted on my website (not yucky Pictage!) within a few days. After one week the gallery will be taken down. This week long period is to allow you to see your portraits before we meet again for the viewing/ordering session.

Also after the shoot a design consultant will be contacting you to set up an in-home consultation. Since you will have had some time with the book that I bring to the photo shoot you should be prepared for this meeting with your ideas. The design consultant (interior decorators that I am working closely with on this project) will help you understand your space and interpret your ideas. She will do a walk-through of your home with you, also marking down ideas about your space.

When we meet for our session you will already know, fairly well is the hope, what you will be ordering.

I offer three different types of prints: digital prints, mounted prints and canvas wraps. If you choose digital prints you will need to think about framing. If you are interested in his services, I will refer you to a framer who also does in-home consultations. He brings a laptop and is able to show you your images in different frames and mattes so you can have a clear idea of what you are buying.

One more change, to finish up this new concept, is that I will be personalizing your ordering sessions. I will bring finished print ideas to the meeting to show you more possibilites of what can be done with your portraits. I am posting some examples here.

The portrait side of Jessica Photo is the midst of this transition to "Photography + Design." Thanks in advance for your patience as we iron out all the details.

See you at our next shoot!
Jessica
