Wall Galleries and the View & Order process

The best thing about being a professional photographer is providing my clients with Portraits of their loved ones, you know the ones, the photos that make your heart melt.  That photo that simply puts a smile on your face because you are looking right into the soul of the person you love so much.  Yep - that's the one... that is my goal, to get those images up on the wall, on the lamp table, and even on your desk at work so that YOU can enjoy them daily.

One of the ways that I work with my clients to provide them with spectacular images for their walls, is to hold a view and order session following their portrait session (scheduled one week after the portrait session).   If you are a current client you are already aware of this process, but if you are new (or it has been a while since you have been in) you can get a little glimpse into what we provide our clients.

The View & Order session is scheduled at the same time that I book your portrait session.  At this session I show clients a multi-media presentation of all their session images, all set to music.  I simply love this part, because this is the first time they get to see their images and I truly enjoy seeing their expressions and listening to the family interaction that takes place here.  It's a priceless moment!  That's also why you are not seeing sneak peek's on our studio facebook page and blog anymore, because I was totally missing out on this expereience with my clients.  However,  You will see session highlights on all our social media pages once the view and order session is completed.

Ok onto the view and order process... after the multi-media presentation I show images two by two and work with each client to select their favorite images.  Once we have the favorite images selected, we then work with the client to create just the right collection of images for the home, office, friends & family so that each client is sure to get the images that they want and need.

To help our clients to be prepared for this session, we provide a Portrait Planning Guide immediately following the photo session, so that they are better prepared for selecting their images once they arrive at the view and order session.  The guide gives a few visuals of Wall Galleries and a few helpful tips to consider prior to coming into the view and order session.  One of my favorite parts of the Portrait Planning Guide is that each client has a place to write down a few locations in their home that they might like to display portraits.  The worksheet has space for the client to list the rooms they want to place portraits in, available space for the portraits, and then leaves a space for them to write down the image # once they are at the view and order session.  Makes it super easy start to finish.

One of the NEW options for our clients during the view and order session is Wall Galleries.  I simply LOVE these and can't wait to help clients create amazing pieces of art for their home using their session images.  These are going to look amazing!!  What I love about the Wall Galleries is that I can simply slide client images into them during the view and order process and they have the freedom to change them around until they get just the right look.  (All of this is done on a large projection screen) Plus... clients will be able to see what their images will look like Framed, as Canvas Gallery Wraps, or as Standard Mounted Prints.  Each one gives a clear perspective on the space it will take on the wall and what it will actually look like all together.

Here are a few samples of Wall Galleries for a Living Room (we have other room views too)...



 



 



 



 



Whew.. aren't those awesome!  I hope you have some creative juices flowing of what you can do with your images here at SP.  I look forward to working with each and every client to put images on the wall that bring Joy to their heart and a big ole' Smile to their face.

Until next time...

Love & Laughter -
