Essence Captured Photo Shoot Check List

Choose the location(s) for your shoot.

Select clothing
Think costuming for a feature film – choose clothes that fit the location and theme. We can help with colors/design and fashion choices.

Select props
A new toy for a child perhaps, or something to sit on or hold in your picture or objects to include that speak to the theme or personality of the subject(s).

Select time of day, date and time, with an alternate if needed.

Schedule free make up session before hand if desired. Ask us for details. Allow two hours.

Consider what you want to get out of your photo shoot.
The three top products are digital images on CD, a video montage of your images set to music, and print packages. Other classic products include custom designed photo albums, photo books, and stretched canvas prints. A seemingly endless list of other products is available and we will create anything you can imagine.

Review your budget and decide on products and a wish list.

Share your wish list with friends and family who may have asked for gift suggestions.
Essence Captured has gift certificates available as well. They can be pre-purchased or we can bill the purchaser when the certificate is redeemed.

Before you leave the house for your photo shoot
Changes of clothing, props, any make up for touch-ups, and grooming essentials (brush/comb, hair spray). If your photo shoot is at the beach, bring a bag for everything and a towel or blanket you can put on the sand. Think about any shoes you may need for getting TO the location vs. the shoes you want IN the photos.

Photo Release
Essence Captured asks you to sign a photo release that gives us permission to use your images for their portfolio, business promotion, photo contests, and so forth. You may decline.

After your session, set aside about 3 hours to review your proofs and select your favorite image or images unless you’re purchasing a product where the photographer picks the image(s).

Pay your down payment / deposit and order your image product(s).
