What to expect:
I aim to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere! We will walk around a little bit, talk, and let your kiddos play! I want your family to interact- talk, hugs, tickles, and laughter! I will offer gentle posing and allow your family to play around within that and be yourselves! I am not providing props, but you’re welcome to bring a couple small things of your own if you’d like (a blanket for example). These are only 20 minutes long- short, sweet, and FUN!
Location:
The location is always a favorite of mine! There is a tall pine tree area that is the perfect backdrop for a holiday vibe! There is also other grassy areas with trees that will hopefully be colorful for a fall vibe if that is your preference. Please park in the second parking lot on your right after you pull in. You should be able to spot my black Nissan Sentra. Please text me if there are any issues. I check my phone as best as I can, but know I may be with other clients and there may be a delay in my response!
Weather:
Hopefully we get a gorgeous Fall day! But if the forecast is bad enough I will contact you each individually and reschedule with each of you. If the forecast is spotty- I will be there! It will be up to you if you want to keep your time slot or reschedule. I do set aside some options for rain dates, mostly Sundays!
Process:
Your $100 deposit holds your time slot and is non-refundable. However, I understand life happens, and it may be applied towards a full session anytime this year. The remaining $250 balance is due at the time of your session. I accept cash, check, Zelle (614-648-1994), or Venmo (@heyemilymetcalf). Checks are payable to Emily Metcalf. Please have payment ready when you arrive. Your images will be ready within about 3-4 weeks of your session. This is a busy time of year so I really appreciate your patience! Galleries will be sent via an online gallery right to your email! From there you will be able to download, print, share as you please!
