SCRIPT-MAKE SURE BOTH HUSBAND AND WIFE ARE PRESENT OR RESCHEDULE.

Hi, ________! It's ____________ from Ever After.

Thank you SO MUCH for what you shared on your calls.

TO HUSBAND
SO (DAD'S NAME) THANK YOU for not just letting your wife handle this

I LOVE that you're choosing art TOGETHER

I've CREATED your DESIGNS

I'm excited to share my vision for your home.

My goal is to keep this call to 30 minutes,

so I'm going to jump right in and share my screen

I will take notes and at the end email you a copy.

(SHARE PORTRAIT DESIGN PLAN SCREEN ON ZOOM)

(SCROLL DOWN ON THE OTHER SCREEN TO THE NEXT SECTION)



IF THEY ASK ABOUT DIGITALS:

You’ll absolutely have them
for anything purchased and printed
anything on the wall
or in an album or box
you’re going to be able to
share on screens,
email them
post them on social media.
And we will take care of all of the printing to make sure that it is to perfection.
For portraits 30” and above, albums and portrait boxes matching files printable to 10” are included.

At this point, I have had conversations with both of you.

So you may be wondering

WHAT'S THE GOAL OF THIS? WHY ARE WE DOING THIS CALL?

THERE ARE THREE REASONS

NUMER ONE

My families are BUSY

This meeting is the QUICKEST way to guide BUSY FAMILIES from beginnning to end and make sure we are ALL ON THE SAME PAGE.

OUR GOAL is create Artwork of the HIGHEST quality, collaborating WITH you to interpret the ones you LOVE through YOUR eyes, and OUR artist eyes, eyes of a portrait artist.

TO DO THAT, we listen closely to what you love and value, what's important to you, then blend that insight to create meaningful, expressive portrait art.

Life comes at us so fast we sometimes lose sight of what makes our families—and ourselves—truly special. We believe in the power of helping you see that.

So instead of expecting you to READ everything, TODAY I'm going to hit the highlights

You CAN read the details later...

I'm going to make NOTES and

EMAIL EVERYTHING TO YOU

So I AM going to be talking for a bit.

THE NUMBER TWO REASON WE ARE MEETING IS BECAUSE

This is a CUSTOM SESSION

People who have never done this before would be SURPRISED
at their ORDERING SESSION when they looked at their portraits

We're gonna put a game plan together because I NEVER want anyone to be surprised.

Historically, in this industry, the goal is to take a bunch of pictures and get somebody in a room and pressure them into buying all of them

or

expect YOU to do all the work, like a DIY thing.

WHAT HAPPENS WITH THAT is people end up with lots of pictures that never make it to your wall or WORSE on a hard drive somewhere forgotten or maybe unfinished prints in boxes collecting dust. Products available on the consumer level don't compare to the quality that WE product as PROFESSIONALS.

WHAT HAPPENS WITH THAT is photos remain forgotten on a hard drive or tucked away in dusty boxes, never making it to your walls. Consumer products can’t match the quality and craftsmanship we bring as professionals. Low-quality images fade over time, becoming unrecognizable by the time your children want to share them with their own families.

In my life, I want to know to know what's happening beforehand, about how much something's gonna cost, maybe not exactly, but I need to know a range. So that's how we work.

SO I'M GOING TO show you ALL the possabilities.

of what we CAN DO and what the COST IS so eveyrthing is transparent and completely clear. What you need and want is what we're gonna do.

NUMBER THREE

I also want your FEEDBACK on the Designs we created

Then I can PLAN HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH your session
THAT WAY we can do our BEST WORK. Just know, by the end of our portrait session, even teenagers have said that was the most fun they’ve ever had.

THREE THINGS I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW ABOUT US:

NUMBER ONE

Our goal is to create a comfortable space where personalities can shine through, and your family's unique connections are clearly seen in meaningful portraits.

Have you guys ever had a CUSTOM fine art portrait experience before?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

NUMBER TWO

We are DIFFERENT than most studios

We start with the end in mind to create original FINISHED custom fine art that shows you every day what you LOVE about your kids, so you will be reminded on those days when you might want to strangle them!

ARTWORK that is either ready to hang on your wall as single framed Wall Art portraits - OR as COLLECTIONS delivered and installed in your home

OR as storytelling ALBUMS or Portrait BOXES.

So not only do you take THESE portraits, but we create a big picture kind of plan for them in your home.

NUMBER THREE

The finishes are the highest quality available because we want it to LAST so YOUR GRANDCHILDREN cherish it.

the end result IS what you never knew you always wanted

We want you to have ART on the walls of your home that STOPS people in their tracks so they ooooh and ahhhh over it especially in front of your children.

Portraits like THAT will CHANGE how your children see THEMSELVES

FOR YOU we create portraits that every time you walk past them you feel like I'M GLAD we did this thing called family, because sometimes it’s hard.

THREE THINGS I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW ABOUT COST

NUMBER ONE

You are going to know the cost of what is possible, what you COULD spend.

But you may not know EXACLY what you WANT until you SEE the portraits and we UNDERSTAND that.

NUMBER TWO

There ARE levels of investment - so you will have our best pricing UP FRONT with all the details.

NUMBER THREE

There is no REQUIRED or MINIMUM purchase

Everything IS CUSTOM CREATED for each family

Some spend more

some spend less

I don't TELL people what to spend

What you choose to purchase is entirely up to you

Oh, and I have to tell you - you are so smart not to put this off - imagine how different your kids look right now than even in a YEAR - it feels like one minute they are a newborn that fit in your hand - then you snap your fingers and they are WALKING, right?

Things get crazy and hectic and we don't get how quickly our family is growing,

Portraits are that reminder to enjoy them today, like, smell the roses

(SCROLL DOWN ON THE OTHER SCREEN TO THE NEXT SECTION)

One of the ways we're different is that this is NOT THIS fly by night thing where we take pictures and then AFTER wait and see and HOPE you like some -

No, we're gonna make a plan and figure it out before so we make SURE we are on the same page about what you want.

IF WE ONLY CAPTURED A SINGLE IMAGE—WHAT WOULD YOU WANT THAT TO BE?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

I would say for most portrait clients, THE MOST important portrait is the family all together

Is that true of you guys as well?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

Great.


So these breakouts that I TYPICALLY PHOTOGRAPH.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't get these breakouts for you?
Are you guys good with these?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)


- let me make sure to check that off.

(CHECK SELECT ALL BOX)

So that's what I'm going to create and you agree that you are NOT going to be mad at me if you LOVE THEM ALL, right?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

SO NEXT LET ME ASK: What is your favorite thing about your family right now?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE) (TYPE THEIR ANSWER IN THE SPACE PROVIDED)

NEXT let's talk about photographing the children

Portraits of JUST your children we create FOR YOU and FOR THEM

FOR YOU, no fake smiles - our moms love natural expressions

FOR YOUR CHILD to help them see for THEMSELVES their BEAUTY and CONFIDENCE and REALLY MIRROR back to THEM the things YOU love most ABOUT them - the things THEY can't SEE about themselves right now, but YOU can - in an EFFORT to counteract the current epidemic of low self esteem in children.

And last but not least, we CREATE a portrait of YOUR child WITH you -

Because ONE day, we know it will be one of THEIR most treasured possessions.

Sound good?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

So NEXT, I am going to show you PRODUCT OPTIONS WE OFFER

THEN I am going to show you DESIGN possibilities so using YOUR feedback from today I can make an Artist Suggestion at your ORDERING SESSION

Really that will be expert guidance of the best of the best. But really, we're making that plan before we ever photograph you.

First, let me share
what I had mind when I CREATED your designs

SCRIPT

So here you see a list of ALL the breakouts that can possibly happen in a GENERATIONS portrait session.

So I have some thoughts - and I'd love to know what your opinion is -

So in YOUR mind, like what is the most important portrait?
Like if we only got one portrait, what is it?
For most generations clients, that's going to be everyone all together in a group, right?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

Yeah. family together, that's great. (CHECK BOX)

Okay, then, what's number two?

(CONTINUE TO GO DOWN THE LIST AND CHECK OFF EACH ONE)

I love that idea.

AT THE END SAY:

Okay, so let's go back to the top of this list - at this point, do you an idea of where in your home those portraits are going to live?
Do you see those going on the wall or going more in an album?
And some of my clients want both.
Honestly, it's okay to say that you have no idea at this point
Most clients start this DESIGN SESSION with the answer of "I don't know"

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE) - Oh, I don't know, I have no idea.

So the thing is
I DO have an idea,

Sometimes what I hear is
I need to see the portraits first
and then we’ll decide what we want.
That’s a very common response.
And honestly, we COULD do that but then we’re shooting for EVERYTHING and it makes the PORTRAIT SESSION RUN LONGER.

But the thing is that
There’s only so much time AND good energy to go around in any given session, ESPECIALLY when children are involved in a session.

Instead of spreading out that good energy
across a LOT of different portraits
when we are more intentional
and concentrate on the PRIORITY for
the END result that we want
which is what we are going to DO with those portraits
WHERE those portraits are going to GO
then YOU GUYS get a better result

What are your thoughts on that?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

Typically, my clients will buy art for their walls
and/OR a custom designed album, or maybe a portrait box
I mean, you don’t live in The Guggenheim
So EVERY portrait CAN'T live on your walls, right?

What are you guys thinking? I am asking because I tend to photograph differently for an album, more candids I would say so I would want to make sure I have that covered knowing that's what you want.

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

That makes sense. You don't have to let me know about an album today. You can let me know on the day of the session.

So today, I am going to show you possibilities of what other clients most often purchase to get a feel for what you like - what you might want.

and then based on your feedback from today
At your Ordering Session
I'll make an Artist Suggestion
where I curate your portraits
to the best of the best

So let me start by going through and explaining what I had mind when I created your designs



IF THEY JUST WANT EVERYTHING SAY THIS AND GAUGE THEIR REACTION

If there’s no place for that image to live, If it’s not going in an album or it’s not going on the wall somewhere, really there’s no point in photographing it.



IF THEY USE MINIMIZING LANGUAGE

You know, if we're only shooting for the family together,
that is our most important thing and that is all we need.
and that's all we're gonna put on the wall,
then let's just work that, make it great.
And then we won't stress the kids out and do all the other stuff
the other stuff isn't necessary.

If there's no place for that portrait to go,
then we don't have to shoot it.

Everything we do is custom commissioned artwork

You don't need me for your Facebook pictures.
You don't need me for your holiday card,
when it's big are on your wall that's when you need me.

GO DOWN THE PAGE, ASK THE QUESTIONS, MAKE NOTES

IF THIS IS A ONE SESSION SAY THIS

HOW OLD IS YOUR CHILD AGAIN?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

(SAY THIS BASED ON THE AGE OF THE CHILD)

3-4 years old
is what we call the Age of Wonderment.
There is no pretense.
They are unpredictably clingy, shy, quiet one minute and rambunctious the next



5-8 years old
is what we call Age of Discovery, where they are discovering their place in the world, and need reassurance from you. Lots of changes.

They typically lose their teeth at 5! Faces lose their babyish look, and you realize your toddler is now a child!



9-14 years old
is what we call Age of Significance because they are becoming more complex and less dependent on you, but need reassurance beccause peer acceptance starts to become REALLY important. They are kind of suspenced between a child and an adult

SO glad you are having portraits because this is the age where children are most neglected as far as portraits, the tween years, where they often feel like the ugly duckling. This portrait will have the most impact on their self esteem.



15-18 years old
is what we call Age of Purpose because they are establishing who they are and maturing more every day, and it's bittersweet because it's their final years at home with you.

This age is MUST to phortograph and it will help you hold on to them through a portrait that will become their presence in your home after they leave. This can be a defining portrait of them.

IF THIS IS SESSION IS IN OUR OUTDOOR PORTRAIT PARK, SAY THIS:

This session will be in our OUTDOOR PORTRAIT PARK.

(THERE IS NO NEED TO CHOOSE ANYTHING FROM THE DROP DOWN)



IF THIS IS SESSION IS MODERN HEIRLOOM, SAY THIS:



For this Artist Project, there is a choice you need to make as far as the choice of BACKGROUND - let me show you.

So here is what the portrait would look like.

And then below it is how it would look like in an interior.

Do you prefer the WHITE BACKGROUND or the DARKER one?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

Okay, let me indicate your choice.



(SCROLL DOWN ON THE OTHER SCREEN TO SHOW THE STATEMENT PIECE (SINGLE) SECTION)



(KEEP FOR FUTURE)

What do you feel like?
What are you most drawn to?
Are you feeling modern?
Are you feeling chroma?

We can shoot your session several different ways. These are session styles.



WORDING TO KEEP

So chroma is a modern gray background. It’s lends itself to a little bit more traditional, a little quieter imagery. You can see this is definitely more traditional clothing and posing, but it still has a modern feel to it. And this is what chroma looks like in an interior.

I am often asked when clients commissioned us, You are the artist - what's the best way to collect your ARTwork and best display it in my home.

HERE'S THE THINGS I WANT YOU TO KNOW

FIRST -

I feel like my job is to show you POSSIBILITIES

SECOND -

There ARE different directions that we CAN go,

MOST IMPORTANTLY-

As a PORTRAIT ARTIST, the focus for ALL of my ART and DESIGNS starts with

what FEELING should these portraits give YOU and give YOUR CHILDREN?

So LET'S start with the THREE MOST POPULAR DISPLAY options we offer.

(SCROLL DOWN ON THE OTHER SCREEN TO SHOW THE STATEMENT PIECE (SINGLE) SECTION)

We recommend starting FIRST with your STATEMENT PIECE

STATEMENT PIECE are large, iconic pieces that hold a wall alone, typically a portrait of the whole family looking their best

You can absolutely choose a SINGLE PORTRAIT as a STATEMENT PIECE and this shows common locations a STATEMENT SINGLE CAN GO.

THREE THINGS I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER ABOUT A SINGLE STATEMENT PIECE

NUMBER ONE-

A STATEMENT SINGLE holds a wall alone - it's one decision to make

NUMBER TWO -

It's not disposble imagery, but rather is CHOSEN INTENTIONALLY to hand down

AND NUMBER THREE -

BOTH in our LEGACY LINE

OR our DESIGNER LINE.

Wall Art SINGLES START at $1500.
OUR MOST POPULAR STATEMENT PIECE SINGLE starts at $3500 and the price ranges by size and finish up to LIFESIZE our largest size which is 20,000

Now remember, you will have $1000 to apply to whatever SINGLE STATEMENT PIECE you choose.

(SCROLL DOWN ON THE OTHER SCREEN TO THE NEXT SECTION)

A STATEMENT PIECE could ALSO be a COLLECTION or GROUPING Made to hang together as a single piece on ONE WALL.

HERE'S THE THREE THINGS I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER ABOUT COLLECTIONS

NUMBER ONE-

DESIGNING COLLECTIONS EVOLVED

because Families would THINK

all they wanted was ONE FAMILY portrait

But when they SAW the portraits, they wanted MORE on the wall and would ASK TO ADD THEM

so NOW I ALSO design STORY TELLING COLLECTIONS

in any of our FIVE finishes.

NUMBER TWO-

STATEMENT COLLECTIONS start at $6500 and the price ranges by size and finish up to around $14,000

NUMBER THREE-

and I would love for EVERY family to have a collection - they are my favorite

So if that's what YOU choose

I will double your $1000 spending credit

so you will a $2000 collection credit.

(SCROLL DOWN ON THE OTHER SCREEN TO THE NEXT SECTION)

IN ADDITION to A STATEMENT PIECE,

we also offer COMPANION COLLECTIONS

for other WALLS IN your home that are displayed as a Storytelling Series of portraits that are created to hang together.

HERE'S THE THREE THINGS I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER ABOUT COMPANION COLLECTIONS

FIRST

COMPANION COLLECTIONS are most often DYPTYCHS OR TRYPTYCHS

SECOND

So what that might look like is

a SINGLE STATEMENT PIECE over your MANTEL, for instance.

BUT you might also love the portraits of your children

so you might decide to ADD ON

a COMPANION COLLECTION
that is JUST your children maybe all laughing together so you will always them at THIS moment in time.

MAYBE UP A STAIRWAY OR in YOUR FOYER

in YOUR DINING ROOM to show THEM OFF on special occasions with extended family

LAST BUT NOT LEAST

ONCE YOU PURCHASE A STATEMENT PIECE any OTHER wall art you purchase is an ADD ON, and is 50% off.

(SCROLL DOWN ON THE OTHER SCREEN TO THE NEXT SECTION)

HERE'S THE THREE THINGS I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER ABOUT COMPANION COLLECTIONS IN THE BEDROOM

FIRST

Studies have PROVEN children's self esteem rises
when they see portraits of themselves

so PUTTING A COMPANION COLLECTION in your CHILDREN'S BEDROOM

removes that need to

CONSTANTLY be comparing themselves to peers or social media

because their ART mirrors back
to them that they ARE WORTH celebrating as an INDIVIDUAL

It is a meaningful gift that keeps ON giving BECAUSE IT REMINDS them their parents love them EVERY day -

SECOND

A couples portrait in your Master Bedroom

maybe a DYPTYCH or TRYPTYCH of you two just laughing - not super posed - just fun moments

is SUPER POPULAR with A lot of my couples who have not had a portrait together since their wedding.

Most don't wake up together

so it's the FIRST thing seen

every morning when you each wake up!

Making the choice to stay together EVERY DAY IS worth celebrating.

How do you GUYS feel about those options?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

AND THIRD

If you are realizing you did not send a wall snapshot of one of these places,

then please send it

I'd love to DESIGN something special for you.

You are not OBLIGATED to purchase
- but it lets you see the possabilities.

So now you understand what finishes we offer.



After your portrait session, you will SEE and TOUCH these finishes so you can decide which ones are your favorite.

Next, we are going to look at the WALL CONCEPTS I designed using your SNAPSHOTS.

BUT FIRST, I ask for your indulgence as I take TWO minutes and explain my VISION, the TWO REASONS behind why I design the way that I do



FIRST, I know NOW, there comes a time in life when
a child would give ANYTHING to have a really
beautiful portrait WITH their parents.

I CREATED this ARTIST PROJECT to make sure your CHILDREN COULD HAVE that.

So let me ask you both:

Do YOU have a beautiful portrait

with JUST you and your dad

or JUST YOU and your mom in it?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

How much VALUE would a portrait like THAT have to you TODAY?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

I mean, if YOU don't value your family legacy, who will, right?

Creating a beautiful family portrait OF YOU GUYS is a given
but I ALSO ALWAYS photograph
each parent with each child
because I know ONE day THOSE will be the portraits
your CHILDREN will cherish more than anything else
so I do it for THEM.

MY home is FILLED with portraits of my ONLY child by HERSELF

- one day she told me

– what she REALLY wanted was not photos of JUST HERSELF,

but a MOTHER-DAUGHTER portrait WITH me

AND a portrait of her WITH her FATHER in it, too

I think EVERY child feels like that!

But she didn't HAVE that
because I was overweight
I liked being BEHIND the camera more than being in FRONT of it

BUT I WAS NOT getting any thinner
and I WAS NOT getting any younger

It made me realize
Portraits are not just for YOU

- they are for your children and grandchildren, too

I didn't REALLY get how important though
until my own mom passed
and I didn't have a BEAUTIFUL portrait of JUST her and me.
and now I can NEVER have that.
She lives on in my heart now.

NOW I GET that we don't ALWAYS appreciate the value of REALLY IMPORTANT things in the MOMENT

SOMETIMES, it means doing something you don't necessarily WANT want to do - SOMETIMES DAD FEEL THAT WAY
Just know that
one day you will be SO glad you did this
AND I'll make THE PORTRAIT SESSION as fun as possible.

How do you guys feel about that?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

THE SECOND REASON BEHIND THIS ARTIST PROJECT and my DESIGN CHOICES is

I WANT TO CREATE A portrait

for children that are

feeling like an ugly duckling
or
feeling disconnected because of social media

THAT CAN help THEM FEEL STRONG and CONFIDENT.

I WANT them to CHANGE whatever they feel awkward about

INTO SEEING THEMSELVES
- as BEAUTIFUL with ENDLESS POTENTIAL
what YOU SEE, because YOU GUYS are the ones that LOVE THEM THE MOST

I had glasses and braces, and
I was DEFINITELY the ugly duckling
- seeing school pictures of my ugly self formed my identity and STAYED in my mind's eye

I think about it like if someone had done that for me at MY awkward age,
I can only imagine that it would have made a HUGE difference growing up.

It wasn't until I had a BEAUTIFUL portrait taken
that I really thought of myself any differently

SO THANK YOU for those two minutes - that is my vision for your portraits
How does that sound?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

Let's dive into the DESIGN POSSABILITIES we created



SCROLL DOWN - CLICK YOUR WALL CONCEPT DESIGNS

CLICK DESIGN 1 AND THE NUMBER OF DESIGNS THAT JEANNIE HAS UPLOADED. THEN SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM SO THE DESIGNS SHOW ON THE SCREEN

CLICK AND OPEN WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SIZE SECTION

-ADD ANYTHING THEY SAY TO DESIGN NOTES)

GO THROUGH EACH ROOM...

So I started with your STATEMENT PIECES.

A SINGLE would look great here -

But I also designed a STATEMENT COLLECTION here

I'm envisioning the family together

- snuggled up and giggles happening there in the middle.

Then a portrait of each of the kids individually really showing off their personalities

OR

portraits of you WITH your children

really celebrating your relationship with them!

(GO THROUGH ALL THE DESIGNS)

(THEN GO BACK TO THE FIRST ONE)

I want to understand your favorites

For this room, which DESIGN is your favorite?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE AND CHECK WHICH IS THEIR FAVORITE)

Great, I'll make a note.
(TYPE IN NOTES)

(quickly go on to the next room)

WHEN YOU GET TO THE LAST WALL:

So how do you feel about what we designed for you?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

So based on what you've just told me,

once I look at your portraits,
I'm going to go through and curate the BEST ONES
and create an Artist Suggestion of what
will look best in YOUR home
You will see that at your ordering session.

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

(SCROLL DOWN ON THE OTHER SCREEN TO THE WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SIZE SECTION)

One question often asked is how do we KNOW what is the right size?

SIZE DIRECTLY CORRELATES to the AMOUNT of IMPACT the portraits will have on your family and children.

SO size matters.

Portraits have the APPROPRIATE IMAGE at 50% life size or larger.

But REALLY, there are only THREE SIZES

I want YOU to see THAT with your own eyes

some sizes feel TOO BIG

CLICK AND OPEN TOO BIG SECTION

Portraits that are too big

feel overwhelming. uncomfortable

make you want to take a step BACK



CLICK AND OPEN TOO SMALL SECTION

TOO SMALL

EXPRESSION can't be seen

Can't even tell if that's your family or not.

because we can't see the FACES

IF you feel like you need to STEP CLOSER
to SEE the expression
then that feeling is telling you it's TOO small

CLICK AND OPEN THE GOLDILOCKS SIZE SECTION

The GOLDILOCKS size.

You will KNOW and SEE it with your own eyes.



IT'S LIKE A CLEAR VOICE TELLING YOUR FAMILY
ALL the things you love about them
giving THE FEELING you want them to have.

so EVERY SINGLE DAY your FAMILY FEELS CONNECTED

At your ordering session, you will see on your own walls not just empty black but YOUR FINAL portraits

You will feel confident about the Goldilocks size and the reality of how that FEELS!

SOME families prefer a PORTRAIT BOX

HERE'S THE THREE THINGS I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER ABOUT OUR PORTRAIT BOXES

NUMBER ONE-

The biggest difference is
an album IS DESIGNED to tell more of the story.
ONCE PRINTED, cannot be added to

Whereas the Portrait box
- you CAN add portraits.
- you can display a SINGLE portrait on an easel AND ROTATE THOSE TOO

NUMBER TWO -

We offer boxes in BOTH our LEGACY and DESIGNER LINE

CLICK AND OPEN INVESTMENT SUMMARY SECTION

.
Some business owners consider themselves first and foremost a family man and they want their patrons to know that they are a family company, with good family values, to attract like-minded people.

So when people come in their office and see portraits of you with your family, they get the message right from the get-go that your company values family, teamwork, people development.

It's something YOU can look at every day and know “Here are all my people.”

Just like when someone walks in your home - it’s very obvious what your priorities are, that feeling of family.

I have one client who is DEFINITELY a Family man who wants to make sure EVERYONE KNOWS he LOVES his family, so he has artwork on the walls of his home, AND in his office in a BIG way.

He fills the walls of his office with family portraits and makes sure to update his family protraits continuously, like every year.

He feels Family portraits in his office project a message that is on-brand for his business.

AND any additional wall portraits you order at your ORDERING SESSION are not only 50% off, BUT the ones you display in your BUSINESS OFFICE are a TAX WRITE OFF. So it's a smart decision.

Would you like for us to create designs for your OFFICE WALLS too? There's no additional fee for designing a display - we would just want the wall photos so we can design them for you? (WRITE IN THEIR RESPONSE)

We are here to help you get whatever you decide at your ORDERING SESSION.

ADD ONS are listed here too

Our gift prints are hard mounted

and not floppy paper prints - you will see those when you come

So what are you guys thinking?

It sounds like you are looking at probably a statement piece for the family.

Are you guys thinking about something for your wall AND a portrait box or album?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE.)

So let's talk about what's most important. Let's talk about MONEY

(LAUGH)

So here's the thing - if you don’t LOVE your portraits, you won’t spend a dime!

BUT if you are like everyone else, you will love more than just one.

So there are PRICE RANGES because what I designed can be ordered

in a variety of finishes and sizes.



(SCROLL DOWN ON THE OTHER SCREEN TO THE BEAUTIFUL SAVINGS SECTION)

SO ON OUR BEAUTIFUL SAVINGS page from our DESIGN GUIDE.

A few things I want to point out...

NUMBER ONE-

Just like ANY art gallery, where you purchase a framed, ready to hang piece of fine art, complimentary installation is included FOR WALL ART COLLECTIONS and SINGLES over 50 inches.

The majority of our orders are installed by us.

We know the LAST thing you want is to stand there with YOUR WIFE behind you saying a little to the left and a little to the right.

And then you put the hole in the wrong place

- she wants you to putty it

and you would rather be on the golf course

That way they won't just sit in your closet for a year because you don’t get around to hanging it.

(laughs)

NUMBER TWO -

I DO have some savings available, which are offered ONLY DURING YOUR ORDERING SESSION

We have REWARDS AFTER you purchase wall art.

such as 50% off

on ALBUMS and PORTRAIT BOXES

My goal is to help as many families as I can have art on the WALLS of their home SO I've put my best pricing UP FRONT.

(SCROLL DOWN ON THE OTHER SCREEN TO THE BUT WHAT WILL I SPEND? SECTION)



HERE'S THE THREE THINGS I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER IF YOU ARE wondering WHAT AM I GOING TO SPEND?

NUMBER ONE-

So AT YOUR ORDERING SESSION, I will use your feedback from today, make suggestions, show you what I love and hope you love it too.

As you learned during the calls, prints start at $495 each
and our entry level wall portrait starts at $1,500

and some have spent that.

We have different sizes and finishes that go up from there

- the largest portrait and collections I CAN create are LIFESIZE at $20,000 - that is NOT a fit for MOST people, but I say that so if you WANT the moon, we absolutely can do that for you.

Generally, our most popular STANDALONE STATEMENT SINGLE out of pocket WITH a $1,000 credit applied ranges between 2,500 and 18,000, based on the finish you choose.

For STATEMENT COLLECTIONS, our most popular ones out of pocket with a $2,000 credit applied range between 4,500 and 10,000 based on the finish you choose.

Because ADD ONS are 50% off,

many families add an album or a box

- some want gift prints to GIVE

Some people spend MORE

- some people spend LESS, so it ranges.

Some end up near 2,000 to 4,000,

some end up between 3,000 to 5,000 -

some have spent closer to $20,000.

Kind of just depends because it's custom and everyone is so different. Right?

That's why I show you possibilities - because I have NO idea what people will love.

The last thing I want to do is have you SEE something you love and can't have it in a way that feels comfortable.

That's another reason we offer TWO payment plans.

So I don't have things that are set that people have to FIT themselves into.

But I can't really TELL you what your TOTAL is going to BE until I know what you want.

And you are not going to know what you want until you SEE your portraits.

But THIS is where the prices start and what others have spent.

I don't TELL people what to spend

- I want you to get what you LOVE

- what you spend is up to you.



I DO want to make sure that we are on the SAME PAGE.

Knowing that WALL ART STARTS at $1500

and knowing that my clients typically spend NORTH of $1500,

are you good with that?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE.)

Do you have any questions as far as pricing?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE.)

I guess I should ask:

What are you loving? Are you THINKING about WALL ART and then adding ON an ALBUM OR A PORTRAIT BOX?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE.)

So to make sure we are all on the same page,

what I am understanding is

you want enough of a variety of portrait choices, as most of my clients do

so you can have a STATEMENT COLLECTION if you choose to.

OR

tell a story with an album or box, if you want.

Am I understanding correctly?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE.)



IF THERE IS ANY PRICE SENSITIVITY, SAY THIS:

I hear what you are saying. Help me understand what you are thinking when you say that?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE.)

Our CUSTOM SESSION clients spend NORTH of $1500, so I want to make sure, because I don't want you to be mad at me – does $1,500 OR MORE fit within your budget?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE - YES, CONTINUE. IF THEY SAY NO, SHIFT TO LIMITED EDITION SESSION with these words😊

I get it. You know, I want to be respectful of your budget. It feels to me GIVEN WHAT YOU HAVE TOLD ME that our OTHER SESSION OPTION, our LIMITED EDITION SESSION, might be a better fit for you right now –

It's just a few portraits to choose from and a shorter session with simple poses and styling

Our LIMITED EDITION SESSION has its OWN line of products, purchased separately and there IS a smaller selection so that would help you stay within your budget.

You will STILL have $100 Studio Spending Credit towards any product in our LIMITED EDITION PRODUCT LINE.

For WALL ART, the ONE CHOICE OF FINISH is a CANVAS ART BLOCK and if you choose WALL ART, your $100 CREDIT can still become a $1000 SPENDING CREDIT toward WALL ART.

You CAN purchase a portrait box.

So what are you thinking – does that sound like a better fit for you guys?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE.)

Great. I’m glad we are able to change you to a session that is a better fit for you guys.

So you will know what to expect, the next step is to move your session from CUSTOM to a LIMITED EDITION, send you the PRODUCT GUIDE, and the information you need.

I don’t have my calendar handy so we will remove your CUSTOM DATE, and reach out to you with the OPEN SLOTS to choose from on a LIMITED EDITION DATE.

I'm glad we got that all squared away.

Do you guys have any questions before we end the call?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE.)

(STOP THE CALL)

IF AFTER TELLING US THEY ARE TOO CHEAP FOR A CUSTOM SESSION, IF THEY BALK AT CHANGING THE DATE SAY THIS:

So you WANT to be mad at me? You want to come in and LOVE $10,000 in portraits and NOT be able to afford them?? (LAUGHING) You don’t REALLY want to do that, do you?

IF THEY TRY TO KEEP THEIR CUSTOM SESSION DATE OR ASK WHY THEY CAN’T KEEP THE SAME DATE SAY THIS:

That’s a great question! To give my clients the BEST SERVICE, we have specific DAYS set aside for SPECIFIC sessions. We set the studio up differently so while it IS an option at this point for you to change your SESSION TYPE, it’s NOT an option to keep the same CUSTOM DATE.



(SCROLL DOWN - CLICK AND OPEN ON THE OTHER SCREEN TO THE PREPURCHASE SECTION)

MULTIGENERATIONAL Portrait Sessions DO have a few differences.

To make sure you guys can get the best bang for your buck, I encourage families to POOL THEIR RESOURCES and buy together.

That way, you can get more portraits at a lower price, which I feel is a fabulous value for your family.

With us, the more portraits you buy, the less you pay for each.

Most FAMILIES want their own group portrait of everyone and will probably want their own family portrait plus a handful of extras.

So what I do is FOR ORDERING SESSIONS, I give a one week special extension so that I can have time to HAVE AN ORDERING SESSION with EACH FAMILY UNIT to complete all purchases.

As long as we finalize these ORDERING SESSIONS within one week of the first one, after your first wall art purchase, ALL of you guys recieve 50% off of additional wall art, albums or portrait boxes you purchase, which makes it easier for multiple buyers.

I present everything first to the parents and then to each family unit within that ONE WEEK PERIOD and finalize all the orders.

So whatever is purchased DURING THAT ONE WEEK PERIOD is considered part of ONE ORDER, goes towards one total and that way your WHOLE FAMILY can receive the REWARDS of as much as 50% off additional products after your first Wall Art purchase.

With a MULTIGENERATIONAL Portrait Session we also offer DUPLICATE ALBUMS with the EXACT same images, is the same quality album, just smaller in scale and those are PRICED at $995 each.

If you want anything in the album changed, this would require ORDERING a separate full size album AT REGULAR PRICE.

The other thing that we offer is to create a NOSTALGIA ALBUM, where we scan old photos and old things and use that as part of our storytelling album.

Do you guys feel that you might have an interest in something like that?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

IF YES, SAY "I will make a note and we will reach out with further instructions on how to do that."



Next, let me explain about MASTER ART RETOUCHING

We know the GPOUP family portrait is SUPER important, with everyone looking at the camera, and every expression is perfect - because the first person that doesn't look good is going to HATE it.

So we do MASTER ART RETOUCHING and offer any portrait that includes 3 people or more as Wall Art only.

Master art retouching means spending extra time on your portrait finessing it - doing head swapping, whatever we need to do to make it perfect, especially in a WALL PORTRAIT size.

Here's the thing, think of the last group shot you were in.
Who was the first person you looked at?
You looked for yourself, right?
So I want to make sure that when every family member SEES that portrait, this is a portrait they can be proud of and love, and will be beautiful on everyone's wall.

So if I need to fix someone who's blinking,
smooth down a skirt
adjust stray hair
I'm going to have the time to do that for you and make it picture perfect.

· Archival Medium Resolution Digital Portrats of any ordered product such as wall art, an album or a Portrait Box can be purchased BUT they are included when your Pool Your Resources Total Order reaches $10,000.

We do offer MULTIGENERATIONAL/EXTENDED FAMILY STUDIO WARDROBE which is $250 and includes styling and clothing pressed and ready for ALL session participants.

– I can create a clothing palette and send that to each family unit to take the guesswork out of coordinating everyone. That allows one family to be a little more edgy, whereas another family might for example be more natural, organic. Most likely your parents would be more polished. A palette means that each family and each person can through the styles and silhouettes of their clothes, make of it what they will.

– or if you really feel that clothing will be a challenge for your family to coordinate, the simplest answer is black and white portraits.

Which one sounds like the best solution for your family as far as your CLOTHING preference? Would you like to take advantage of our STUDIO WARDROBE OPTION?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)



DISCUSS THIS NEXT PART WITH THE PRIMARY ONLY

(INFO TO KNOW BUT NOT SAY

WITH THE PRIMARY: you need to understand so much about spending dynamics and about who is the client in front of you.

GEN X: a woman in her 40s and 50s. you also have to understand that this generation, at least in the business model I have, which is the more portrait you buy, the happier you are, and the more money I make. So the happier I am, that's my model.

OLDER GENERATION, THE PARENTS, SPENDING DYNAMICS: might be her mom, matriarch of the family, So that generation isn't used to buying 80, 100 portraits. No, that generation maybe had one portrait on the wall their whole life.
they don't want an album
they don't want Digital's
They just want a wall portrait to represent their family. )



SPENDING DYNAMICS OF THE FAMILY
HAVE A FRANK MONEY TALK



SAY THIS:
Let's have a conversation about your family spending dynamics.

And let me give you an example.
My brother, when we go on vacation, he's broke.
So if we want to spend time with him, that means that we're going to be paying for his airfare and hotel.
And we're happy to do that, because we love spending time with him.

So let me ask you about your family's spending dynamics.
Are there any people who might be spending more or less?
Is it something where you're picking up the bill and gifting everyone with art?
Or is this something where each person will be responsible for your own purchases?
Or are there ones who might be splitting the purchase?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

I don't want there to be any surprises in the ordering appointment, So I want to make sure everyone's on the same page.



ANSWERS YOU MIGHT GET

1. THE INDIVIDUAL FAMILIES WILL PAY

Great! I definitely want to create something for anyone that wants it.

Let me just doublechec that I have everyone's information. I will reach out to them.

GET THEIR CONTACT INFO
ADD THIS TO ASANA
**SET UP PLANNING PHONE CALL
**SCHEDULE A DESIGN SESSION WITH THEM



2. I AM PAYING
IF THEY SAY
oh, no, I'm buying all of this.
Don't worry about them, I want to treat them.

YOU SAY: Great, thank you for letting me know that. I will make a note



(I still want to know even if they're purchasing art for that person, I want to take cues from that person on what their decor is like. And remember I said you take inspiration from the room, but you also take inspiration from the person.
So as I see that person, whatever she arrives in her clothes will sort of give me a little information. Is she more modern? Is she more rocker? Is she more traditional, so part of those pieces are going to give me guesses at what her homes like )



(SCROLL DOWN ON THE OTHER SCREEN TO THE PREPURCHASE SECTION)

Returning VIP clients may feel that they have exhaustted walls to display portraits of their family in their home.

So we have two options

OPTION 1 is a family yearbook, custom designed each year. Imagine having this yearly record as a keepsake for you family, that will be handed down, and fought over!

OPTION 2 is a GALLERY WALL and that comes with our GALLERY WALL PLAN. The portraits are archival, printed in an museum quality availalbe only to professional portrait artists, not available at the consumer leve.

In addition, your PORTRAITS are not only created to last, we create a GALLERY WALL PLAN, so whatever is printed is guarenteed and installed by professionals with decades of experence.

And when you come back and update your gallery wall every year we take care of designing, printing and displaying the GALLERY and the UPDATED PORTRAITS.

Another benefit is that when you purchase at least one wall portrait in your order, you receive 50% off all other add ons, including our FAMILY YEARBOOK.



(SCROLL DOWN ON THE OTHER SCREEN TO THE ITEMS WITH SPECIAL MEANING SECTION)

We DO offer a Prepayment Option and let me explain what that is.

Our PREPURCHASE is really a way for you to earn some bonuses just by paying in advance.

BONUS 1 is our ICE BLOCK in a seven inch size.

BONUS 2 is our STEEL STANDUP in a ten inch size.

Remember, our ENTRY level wall portrait starts at $1500, and most spend AT LEAST that, so you can choose either one of these BONUSES, if you pre pay 1500 towards your order.

Now, if you want to prepay more, then we say thank you with an ADDITIONAL bonus for each $1000 you prepay.

If you choose to pre pay 2500, you get TWO bonuses, 3500 gets you three bonuses.

You can prepay as MUCH as you want upfront to earn those bonuses FROM TODAY up to the day of your PORTRAIT session.

Whatever you pay is a credit that is applied towards whatever you purchase at your ordering session.

These are the perfect gifts for like grandparents.

I had one person who wanted 4 bonuses because she wanted to give gifts so she prepaid and then she had 4 of them to give.

After your portrait session, you will see these bonus PRODUCTS too.

IF you decide to take advantage of this TODAY, just use the link below.

Some have wondered - what if I pay you, let's say $4,500, and I don't LIKE my portraits or I don't USE all of my credit?

Just know that your money is safe with me, I want you to have everything you love, and nothing that you don't.

I have yet to have someone who didn't LOVE their portraits, BUT if it did happen, and you didn't spend the entire amount, what you don't spend will be refunded.

(SCROLL DOWN ON THE OTHER SCREEN TO THE ITEMS WITH SPECIAL MEANING SECTION)

Some families have keepsakes

- lace, pearls, timepieces -

CARED for in the family and handed down, with history and meaning.

We become the caretakers of those then our children will, too.

So bring your beautiful, special things - family earls, or grandpa's watch.

I would LOVE to include those in a portrait.

Are you thinking of anything like that?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

Last but not least, let's talk about clothing.

(SCROLL DOWN ON THE OTHER SCREEN TO THE CLOTHING SPECIFIC FOR THIS SESSION SECTION AND CLICK TO OPEN - SHOW THE DO'S AND DON'TS PAGE. USE THE SCRIPT IN THE NEXT SECTION)

CLOTHING

My thinking about clothing is I want to create something that’s will stand the test of time, more classic that you can’t really tell when it was taken, so classic versus dated, that can be displayed on the wall for a really long time and not date too quickly.

That is why this Artist Project has a RECOMMENDED clothing style that keeps the focus on you and not what you are wearing.

HERE'S THE THREE THINGS I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER ABOUT CLOTHING

NUMBER ONE-

You don't want to see your portraits and realize "Oh, MAN, I wish we would not have worn THAT.”

I've never had a family REGRET dressing UP, DRESSING THEIR BEST

We encourage suits or tuxes for men and ladies wear dresses or gowns.

Centering choices around blacks and greys WITH timeless, tailored clothing is MOST flattering to the female figure and makes you look thinner and taller.

NUMBER TWO -

Avoid like the PLAGUE

BOLD PATTERNS

Eveyrone having the SAME COLOR SHIRT
OR
JUST PLAIN WHITE SHIRTS

ESPECIALLY anything trendy OR casual

NO sneakers, PLEASE appropriate SHOES

THAT WAY your portrait will never look dated.

MAKE SURE

Kid's hair is worn natural.
Don’t get them a haircut right before the session

Do you have any questions?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

LAST BUT NOT LEAST

If you are changing at the studio

arrive at least 20 minutes early

so we are able to start on time

YOU are having a MODERN SESSION

My concept for a modern session is for CLOTHING to either be BLACK and WHITE, or a combination of those two colors - in this type of modern portrait MY CLIENTS are the color.

If you feel that you HAVE to have it, you CAN ADD ONE COLOR and you can see examples of that here.

You CHOSE OUR NO STRESS STUDIO WARDROBE option
- SO SMART!!
We will custom style our studio wardrobe for your WHOLE family.
and it will be pressed and ready for you to change into when you arrive.

By way of reminder,

I do not supply SHOES

so please wear/bring dressy black shoes

- most often I will photograph young children in bare feet which gives a timeless feel.

but you are absolutely welcome to bring shoes for the children - and if you decide to do that, I recommend they be black.

I do not supply SLACKS for men/boys

so I ask that the guys arrive in or bring black or grey slacks.

For the best fit, we ask our ladies to please be sure to wear your favorite SHAPEWEAR.

I do have men's jackets that are LONG and SHORT, but sometimes men own custom tailored suits that they prefer to bring or a lady has a dress she just loves that has been tailored to fit her - you are always welcome to bring those as a backup outfit.

Children's hair just needs to be worn natural.



Just remember to arrive at least 20 minutes early, so we are able to start on time

Kid's hair just needs to be worn natural. We ask for appropriate shoes, no sneakers

Next is a page with ALL THE DETAILS you need to style your clothes.

I also included links to Resources you might like.

I give guidance on styling, but if you would like to work with a personal stylist, I would recommend contacting Nordstrom's. We have found at our local Nordstrom's, all the stylists on staff are amazing to work with. They will even make virtual recommendations and I've included a link to more information for you.

And some of our clients have used Rent the Runway. That link is included too.



(SCROLL DOWN ON THE OTHER SCREEN TO THE TIMELINE SECTION AND CLICK OPEN)



I added our timeline so you have an idea of what happens when.

(SCROLL DOWN ON THE OTHER SCREEN TO THE REMINDERS SECTION)

Okay, this is what I call my CYA section as far as ORDERING because you will be making ALL of your decisions THEN.

SOMETIMES when people come in and actually SEE their portraits at the ORDERING SESSION, they change their mind about what DESIGN or what FINISH they like best

so it's OKAY if YOU do that, too.

We did design multiple walls for you and some have purchased 2, 3 displays for different walls in their home.

You are not OBLIGATED to do that, but it happens because people buy what they LOVE.

It's all CUSTOM - so some spend more, some spend less. There is no REQUIRED or MINIMUM purchase.

So what you spend depends on the number of art pieces and the finish you fall in love with.

Now, SOMETIMES people have a comfort level that they WANT to spend, but I have had clients fall in love with portraits and spend more than they originally THOUGHT they would spend.

I'm not MAKING them do that -- they are CHOOSING to.

But I'm very up front that it CAN happen because I don't want you or your husband to be MAD at me.

Are you guys good with that?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

So let me ask you:

For this to turn out the way that you would want it to turn out, is there ANYTHING that I need to know so I understand what the ideal end result is for YOU?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

READ EACH REMINDER OUTLOUD AND THEN CHECK IT OFF

Since the ORDERING SESSION is where all the decisions are made, most of my clients love to get their miles, so you are welcome to bring your card with the best rewards points.

IN THE PDF VERSION ------------------------

OBJECTIONS

Do you save these?

No, I only save the ones that you purchase so

that you can come back and order more

gifts or you know, Wall art or anything that you

desire, maybe around Christmas or for different

occasions.

So I'm not saving anything.

------------------------

WE JUST WANT THE ONE PHOTO

ANSWER 1

I understand. That's no problem; you're not obligated to buy anything you don't love!

The thing is I treat all my clients the same - I promise I will give your family my full attention and not do shortcuts with you. So I won't just photograph one photo.

All I ask is that you keep an open mind, and really let yourself feel how happy these make you.

If you do that, you can trust you'll make the right decision, because you'll know you really gave it a fair chance.

____________________

(OLD) ANSWER 2

Honestly, if you are feeling like this SESSION is not the right fit - maybe you know that you definitely want just one and you really don't want to be TEMPTED to spend more, I would encourage you to switch to a WITH LOVE session. The advantage to you is that it is a different product line, and package pricing that is not based on wall art products.

Does that sound more like it might be a better fit for what you are looking for?

YES

ANSWER 1

(Switch them to a WITH LOVE)

(change their dates if we have an associate photographer)

That is not a problem. There are some dates that we will need to reset and I can have Jeannie reach out and do that with you.

I'm so glad to be working with you and adding you to our list of awesome clients.

You know, we ONLY work with NICE people!!

It's not that we don't EVER make mistakes, but our clients are SO gracious, they kindly TELL us and then of COURSE we fix it.

(HARD OBJECTION - Tell me more about that. )

(SCROLL DOWN ON THE OTHER SCREEN TO THE CHARITY SECTION)

Last is your running out the door checklist, what you need to bring so your husband and kids show up with shoes, belt, tie and a jacket.

I need three things when you bring your kids to the portrait session.

I want them to be well rested - make sure nobody’s spending the night somewhere the night before a session they will show up as complete and utter trolls, tired and grouchy

Do not nag, bribe or threaten them - it's not going to be fun, not something they need to be bribed to do.

Just tell them "We're going to go see Miss Mindy. It's going to be awesome."

Parents ask me I love the expressions you get. How do you DO that?

Don't be surprised if when you arrive I ignore the adults and make it all about the kids!

My goal number one is to establish a connection with the kids

How we do that is that I’m in charge and you’re not actually allowed to talk to your kids once you get here and that it’s me and the kids against you in a fun, playful way.

But just know that if you start correcting or talking to them, I’m just gonna poke fun at you and your husband.

Afterward, I encourage my parents to take the rest of the day off, go to lunch, someplace fun, or out to dinner together, cuz you’re gonna be all dressed up.

Create a fun memory - so you don’t feel like, Yeah, we LOOK cute, but we were on the verge of divorce - so you will remember the day as a happy experience.

Just know that the day of your portrait session, I will be completely taking control of the shoot, and you don't have to worry about anything.

Don't FEEL the need to prime your children to "SAY CHEESE"

Whatever they are doing is perfect - I love naughty kids with personality!

Do you have any questions for me?

(ALLOW FOR RESPONSE)

CLOSE WITH:

You guys have been GREAT!

I've really loved planning your session! I know you're going to have a lot of fun.

I can't wait to meet you and your family in person!

I'm going to submit this and you will get an emailed copy of the PDF, so watch for it and we will see you soon at your PORTRAIT SESSION!
