Portrait Sessions

Once you have decided to have your portraits taken with Kinstler Photography please contact me to plan your session and setup the dates and times for your photo shoot and ordering session (details below). For portrait sessions scheduled more than 2 months in advance I ask that you pay a 50% non-refundable deposit of the Creation Fee in order to reserve your date and time with me - the remaining balance will be collected at the time of the session. Otherwise I will collect the Creation Fee at the time of the session.

• The Planning Session

  
  Your first appointment is the planning session where we discuss not only the style of image that you want but also where you want to hang your wall portraits, what gifts you may need for friends and family, and what clothing will work best for your session. I’ll need to know what background settings you prefer (e.g., beach, park, urban, countryside, home, etc.) and what date(s) you’re available so that I can check my schedule.



• The Portrait Session

  
  Your second appointment is the actual portrait session. The portrait session lasts approximately 2 hours and I make it fun for everyone! You can bring as many outfit changes as you'd like but I always recommend keeping it simple to stay relaxed and comfortable at the portrait session.



• The Ordering Session

  
  Your third appointment is the ordering session. This is where you will see your photographs for the first time as your images are projected at their highest resolution and in true color on an 80” screen! The ordering session can be scheduled for the same day, which is especially popular for family groups vacationing in Virginia Beach. Being able to select the pictures as a family will save time after the vacation.
