Custom photography
Thank you for considering Kristine Freed Photography! If you choose me as your photographer, you are not only choosing to have pictures taken, you are partaking in an experience. Custom photography is an experience. I want your experience with me to be relaxed & fun. And I want to help you every step of the way- from booking, to where to do the session, to what to wear, all the way through to your Reveal and then delivery of your final finished artwork!
Here’s the experience you can expect with me…
Before: We will meet to determine what type of session you want, what you’re looking to capture, what location would be best, and how you’re thinking about displaying your images.
During: Relax! Enjoy the moment! I want you to look back on this experience and remember it fondly. I want to capture you in your most natural being- playing, hugging, kissing, running, laughing; I want to capture the emotion, the love. So let the fun begin!
After: Go home and dream about all the beautiful images that will soon be yours! We will set a date for your Ordering session, which will be anywhere from 2 days to a week after the session. This is the most exciting part! At this session, I will help you through the decision-making and ordering process, and you will be offered special Reveal pricing for placing your order.
Please read through a few FAQs and let me know if you have any further questions!
*Where do you shoot?
I shoot on location pretty much anywhere you would like. Have a beautiful spot in your backyard? Have a favorite park or hangout spot? Want to meet at the beach? I take advantage of natural light and natural settings. I have some favorite spots to shoot, but am always looking for new places, so if you have your own favorite spot, please let me know! Keep in mind it should have great lighting and areas of full shade. Together we will pick the best spot to showcase you best.
*How long will my session last?
Petite sessions last approx 15-30min, full sessions last approx 45min-1 hour. This allows ample time for clothing & backdrop changes as well as time for any breaks the little ones may need. You will not be rushed. I will allow time for breaks, snacks, etc. Whatever is necessary.
*How many photos do you take?
I take an unlimited number of pictures. After the session I will look through them all, and choose the best 20-40 to edit and present to you at the Ordering Session.
*When should I schedule my session?
Anytime you want! Keep in mind that I generally shoot either early or late in the day to work with the best natural lighting, so as soon as you know you want pictures taken and have a day/time in mind, contact me!
*What should I do to prepare for my session?
Try to schedule the shoot for a time when your baby/child will be well-rested and not hungry. Bring items you may want to showcase in your photos: guitars, skateboards, footballs, bubbles, dolls, favorite blanket, teddy bear, rainboots, umbrella, etc. Most important… relax and prepare to have fun!
