Thinking of booking a shoot? Contact me to set up a consultation! We’ll get to know each other while discussing what you’re looking for, answer any questions you may have, and check on availability. I recommend booking three months out—especially for newborn sessions. Last-minute shoots are occasionally available, but within three months you’ll have more options!
Once we have our date, we’ll pick out a time that works (based on your family’s needs and when we can get that bright, sparkly light), fill out a contract, and seal the deal with a deposit (prices start at $1,180). Next, I’ll share my signature photoshoot and outfit guides—some helpful resources to help you feel totally prepared and confident for your special day of capturing memories.
I’ll touch base before your photoshoot so you’re ready (and excited!). Making sure the experience is as comfortable and fun as possible is one of my top priorities. And if things don’t seem to go smoothly—little ones can be unpredictable—we’ll still get the gorgeous photos you want. I can even “sneak peak” a couple shots on the @michellerosephoto Instagram account!
A week after the shoot you’ll get a proofing gallery. You’ll get to choose your favorites, share any retouching comments, then our top retouchers hand edit each of your photos to perfection. Thanks to my experience as a magazine photo editor, I treat each photoshoot as though it will end up in a magazine—and some actually do!
You’ll receive your final retouched digital gallery via a private link. The final photos are digital files that are yours to keep, print, post, and share with your friends and family for years to come. Can’t get enough? You are always welcome to order extra images for retouching beyond the ones that come with your session.
“Michelle has captured our family during every milestone for the past few years as well as anytime we need some updated portraits. All of the framed photos of our family are from Michelle’s images and they’re the most beautiful memories captured, especially to give as gifts!” –Liz T.
