Complimentary Styling for Your Session

FAQ

After you book your session, I’ll send you a guide on “what to expect,” general guidelines for styling, as well as a code to access an online styling service that will assist you in choosing your outfits. Style and Select creates a stress-free process for you to choose clothing items based on your goal vibe + color scheme for your session. I also have 50 adult dresses and kid pieces for borrow in my client closet. 

The entire process was fantastic! The process to book a session was incredibly clear—locations, details, and even backup dates if it was rainy were all shared up front. Once booked, we were provided with a "read me" that guided us through exactly what to expect, as well as tips on how to coordinate clothes and choose a color palette. Communication during this process was crystal clear, timely, and friendly throughout. On the actual session day, Christina was fun and friendly and had my family feeling comfortable.

When the photos were chosen, edited, and delivered, we were blown away! Christina's shooting and editing style is beautiful, and she'll make your family feel like a million bucks. I highly recommend booking her, and I expect to do so again in the future. - Alexander

What happens after the session?
Around two weeks after the session you will receive 25+ edited images in an online gallery. Once you click the link, you will have 24 hours to view the gallery and make your collection selection. Once you purchase the collection, you will receive an email with the gallery credit promo code. Your gallery will be active for two weeks to spend your credit in the shop and download your images. You will get to select your favorite images from the gallery.

EXAMPLE: Client purchased collection 2. They will look through the 25+ images in the gallery to download their favorite ten images and will apply the $75 off promo code in the gallery shop. 

What is a gallery credit?
A gallery credit is an amount you have to purchase products/prints/keepsakes in the gallery shop. Once you receive your gallery, you will receive a promo code to apply the credit to the shop at checkout. 

Why gallery credit?
Having printed products, keepsakes, and prints preserves the legacy of your family. As a busy parent, I related to the never ending to do list and the list of things that just fell by the way side. Having the credit as part of your collection give that gentle nudge to choose prints and products so that images move from phones/computers to homes and hands. You can use a gallery credit on any item in the shop.

Can I purchase greeting/holiday cards and gifts? 
All of those items will be available in the shop for purchase. You can use your gallery credit on those items.

Can I buy more images if I choose Collection 1  after I receive my gallery? Can I use my gallery credit to purchase more digital downloads? 
You can purchase additional images in groups of 5 and 10, as well as the entire gallery in the gallery shop after you receive your gallery. You can use your  code at check-out in the shop. One additional image for digital download is $50.

Can I gift a mini session to a friend/family member?
Minis are perfect gifts! Prior to booking make sure that your friend/family member would enjoy my style of photography that is lifestyle, joyful, and natural. I document a few traditional portrait smile-look-at-the-camera shots, but that is not the main goal of the session. I encourage you to contact me if you are interested in gifting a session so I can assist in making it extra special.
