Here at Emily Photography, we understand that life gets busy. We mamas are juggling a LOT, day in and day out. The task lists are never-ending, and sometimes we would just like to have things handled for us. With a full-service NJ photography experience, we do the majority of the work for you! All you really have to do is show up and be ready to make memories with your family. Read on to see what this full-service experience entails.

Step by Step Full Service Photo Experience

1. Pre-Session Planning & Wardrobe Styling

If you want the full service NJ photography experience, it starts with a quick phone call or meet up. We can chat in person or over the phone so I can get to know you and learn more about what you have in mind for a session. We’ll discuss ALL the details of your session including the location, who’s included, your outfits, and hair & make-up service options.  If you choose to have your hair and make up done, we will handle all of the scheduling for you. The services will happen at the studio before your session! Knowing these details in advance and having each other on the same page makes your session day run a lot more smoothly and seamlessly!

2. Session Day 

What’s a more full-service photography experience than just having to show up for the pictures? On the day of your session, that is all you have to do – be there dressed at the time and location we decided on!  If you decide to pamper yourself and choose a dress from the wardrobe, then let your partner keep the kids and you come get your glam on with us! Our hair and make-up artists will help you look and feel your best! We will have your outfit pressed and ready to put on when you’re finished getting glammed 🙂 Once your session starts, just enjoy it and have fun with your family. Those candid real moments are the ones worth capturing! 

3. Editing

We take pride in carefully selecting the very best images for your online digital gallery.  In each gallery, we include 40-50 high resolution images that have been professionally edited and retouched to perfection. We take our time in making sure you received every shot that you hoped for and edit out any unnecessary objects that take away from the moment in the photo. It’s important to us that the photos are not just something nice to look at – that they make you feel the love and happiness your family brings you. 

4. Gallery Viewing & Ordering Appointment

Once your session is complete, the full service photography experience doesn’t stop there. We’ll set a time to meet again where you’ll be presented with your photos in a slide-show. We’ll look at them together and decide what you want to create! Turning your photos into tangible memories that last a lifetime is something that we do not take for granted. It’s one thing to have your photos on your phone, but to see them hung on your walls and in an album on your book shelf is the most beautiful gift. We will go over all of your options and show you samples of EVERYTHING, so that there is no stone left unturned when it comes to product options. You’ll be able to see everything laid right in front of you and have our help in decision making. You can choose from a variety of frame styles, album covers and more!

NJ Mom Opts for Full-Service Experience

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful mom who decided on doing it all – the hair and makeup, wardrobe, and album ordering! We met before her session to browse the wardrobe and select the outfits for shoot day. She also booked hair and makeup with our stylist, Stephenie. On the day of her session, everything ran smoothly because we had everything pre-planned. Most importantly,  she relaxed and enjoyed pampering herself! After the gallery was finished, we met to go over product options and looked at her beautiful photos together! Overall, it was the best experience for both her and myself as the photographer! 

As a busy mom myself, I know how hard it can be to make decisions and get things done. Instead of adding more to your plate, opt for the full-service photography experience where I’ll help each step of the way. Sessions always go better when you are prepared, relaxed, and comfortable in your decisions! If you’re interested in learning more, reach out to me with questions. I’m here when you’re ready 🙂
