portrait experience - COATES PORTRAIT DESIGN

1. Your Style & Concept Consultation

Our first get-together in your home allows me to share with you all the exciting portrait opportunities available to you. We will discuss the style that best suits your family, what's most important to you about your session, and how you plan to enjoy the displayed portraits in your home.

2. Booking Your Session

Once all dates and location ideas have been decided, and we have reviewed pricing and your budget, your session is secured with payment of our Professional Service Fee and Retainer. Your Retainer is credited in full towards your portrait order.

3. My Location Scouting

I will always pre-scout the location planned for your session to creatively visualize how your portrait will be created. Furthermore, pre-scouting allows me to make sure we visit the location at the right time of the day for the best lighting.

4. Your Clothing Choices

After lighting, clothing is the next most important element to the success of your session. I have a proven method to make sure your clothing choices are classic, timeless, and appropriate.

5. Your On-Location Session

Be it at your home or at a meaningful location, your session is a fun-filled adventure guided by your decor goals and family requests. I will create both groupings and individual portraits to offer you a variety of images.

6. In-Home Personal Viewing and Ordering

At a later date, I will return to your home to share with you the exciting results of your session. This is done by way of projection where you can easily view and select your favorites, and even see your planned wall decor projected in actual size to make sure the appropriate sizes are selected for your walls.

7. Home Delivery of Your Order

Once completed, I will personally deliver your finished portraits to your home. Furthermore, I will hang any portraits with pride to make sure you enjoy them as intended immediately.
