Thank you so much for contacting Wild at Heart Photography about your child's portraits! Milestone sessions are designed specifically for babies anywhere between 4 months to a year, and children and toddlers right up to preteens. Our kids grow and change constantly, and it has always been important to me, as a mom of four, and as someone who doesn't have photos of myself as a child, to document them as they grow. These are photos that they will come to cherish when they reflect back on their childhood.
PRE-SESSION CONSULTATION
Each of my milestone session starts with an pre-session consultation, where we plan the details of your shoot. It gives me an opportunity provide you with helpful advice to make the most of your session, as well as learn more about your family, your vision, and your plans to display your artwork. During the pre-session consultation we will discuss the colour scheme & set ups for your shoot, the poses most important to you, pricing, and your options for product and digital files after the photos are edited. I can answer any questions you might have about planning your outfits, uncooperative kids, and unwilling husbands (trust me, I know all about it), and help you to feel comfortable about the process, and your investment.
WILD AT HEART'S STUDIO
My little studio is located across the yard from our home, 15 minutes North East of Bonnyville. I have a collection of props in all colours, and lots of options to choose from. I will have up to 2 setups up and ready to go when you arrive, but generally keep another one on hand just in case we have time. My studio is set up for kids, and so toddlers are allowed to roam free when they need a break from modelling. However, because of the size of the studio, I ask that no more than 3 adults attend the actual session to prevent over crowding.
TURN AROUND
My turn around time for editing is one week after the session, at which point, you’ll be able to come into the studio to preview and purchase your photos. Any digital files purchased can be taken home that day on a USB, while prints and other products can be expected on your door step within 1-2 weeks after your purchase, ready to be displayed and admired.
ORDER CONSULTATION
After a week of anticipation, it's finally time to come in for your order consultation! My order consultations are designed to help guide you through your choices, to make the best decision for displaying your family’s artwork. I can also walk you through your options cake smash boards, and other adorable products designed specifically for milestone sessions. My goal as a photographer is to see the photos of your beautiful new baby displayed proudly on your walls, and kept safe in a keepsake album where they can be enjoyed throughout your child's life, as opposed to lost on a USB in a drawer somewhere. Don’t get me wrong, we all love digital files, but there is something to be said for being able to hold your finished product in your hand, and see it in your home every day.
WHEN TO BOOK
I typically take on up to 4 milestone sessions each month, so booking your spot at least a couple months ahead of time is important. Occasionally I have spots open for little ones upon short notice during the winter months, however, securing a cake for cake smashes may be especially difficult on short notice.
