so two | so you
introducing you to a completely different couples photo experience.
celebrate your feelings for each other immortalized in a work of art with you two as the subject.
these aren’t just “pictures” of you. this is artwork that captures the very essence of you as a couple.
created as a collaboration between me and you.
so you might be wondering about some things
meet and greet
who are you
who am I
what do you need to know
what else do you want me to know
talk about some words
setting our date
we’ll have created our foundation
capture your magic
you’ll be guided
you’ll see what we’re getting
you’ll be able to have input
apply my magic
I work with the images
taking the real and adding the dream
turning it into what you imagined
turning it into who you are
be amazed
view the vision that I created
or maybe a few different versions
suggest what could make it even better
say “we love it”
seeing it in your home
Of course this is important. But first let’s quickly talk apples and pomegranates. Let’s say “apples” are “pictures of yourself.” Selfies. Vacation pics. But here I’m talking “pomegranates.” Something special. Out of the ordinary. That’s what this is. You end up with a framed piece of art. The magic is the energy of your relationship that is captured forever.
That’s what, after doing photos for all my life, I have figured out that I am best at. Getting at peoples’ essence. And with this I want people to truly celebrate each other.
At the “be amazed” session I will show you your artwork possibilities, and we will discuss the different sizes for your chosen artwork. Because some people have lots of wall space, and others maybe less, I offer them in any of 3 sizes (16×20, 20×24 or 24×30) for $1195 (framing included). I offer larger sizes too in case you’ve got those 11’ ceilings in your home. There is also an option to purchase other images that you didn’t select for your main artwork. Full payment is made at this session.
There is no “session charge” for the photo session. You are only paying for your final artwork. Payment will be due at the time of selection at the “be amazed” session.
My talent is getting you to feel relaxed, then guiding you through the photo session. It’s a “go with the flow” kind of thing. If you’re a playful couple I’ll encourage that, and then some! If you’re quieter and more low-key, some soft music playing and you’ll forget I’m there, being so focused on each other. I build on your personalities, drawing out what makes you you.
Tuxedo and ball gown is always a good place to start. OK, just kidding (unless, of course, that’s YOU). Otherwise I say choose clothes that feel the most “you.” The images are in black and white so color won’t be a factor. And, really, I won’t want you thinking about the clothes and whether you feel right in them. I’d rather you concentrate on each other.
That can be a phrase you use between you. It can be something that comes up in the photo session. It might be a reaction to the final image choice. It could be my impression of you. It can come from anywhere. You have final say over what becomes part of your final artwork.
This is me, the artist, saying yes, that’s where I can control my magic the best. Black & white on a white background, because I want to focus to be entirely on you.
Each sessions builds into a rhythm that is uniquely ours. Sometimes it takes 20 minutes, sometimes it may take an hour. (A tip…bring music that you love.) We’ll know when we have it. And then I might encourage you to try a few more things, maybe to surprise yourselves.
What?!?! And take the focus off YOU?!?!? Nope, this is all about you. No thoughts of unruly kids, or yapping dogs. Be honest…when was the last time you focused only on each other? When was that last time you had a photo of just you two, capturing the feelings you have for each other? (You’ll thank me for this!)
Ok, ok, you had such a great time doing this…yes…next week you can bring the kids!
