The Hello Baby Studios Portrait Experience
what to expect from inquiry to finished artwork
Step 1: LET’S CONNECT
I would love the opportunity to chat with you and share how awesome a session with Hello Baby Studios will be. I can connect via phone to answer any questions you might have and create a vision for your session. If we're a good fit, we'll get you on the calendar and chat about all of the details of your session!
Before your session, we’ll talk about your family and how you’d like to be photographed, and I’ll share what I can create for you. We’ll talk about all the details pertaining to your session so you feel prepared.
Step 2: Your SESSION
The day of your session comes with such anticipation and we want you to enjoy it. Since we’ve already talked through all of the details, you’ll be completely prepared for your connection portraits. Most of my clients take advantage of our studio wardrobe, so all you need to do is arrive in your comfy clothes, and I’ll guide you through the entire process and create beautiful photographs that match the vision for our time together.
Step 3: Cherished memories
This is the most exciting part of our time together! Once your session is over, I get to work on perfecting your images into memories. I hand edit each image to ensure they meet my quality standards so that I can deliver a gallery that matches the style my studio is known for. Every session receives an online gallery that is downloadable and shareable with high resolution images and a print package with a usb for long-term safe keeping.
PRE-SESSION CONSULTATion
Once your session is reserved, we set up a time for us to meet over the phone for a Consultation. During this time we'll go over session details, discuss styling, and chat all about your experience.
But most of all, we'll get to know each other and find out what means the most to your family and prepare for our memories-in-the-making. By the day of, we will no longer be strangers, but friends.
WARDROBE & STYLING
Styling plays such an important role in the overall look and feel of your portrait art. As part of your experience I offer a curated studio wardrobe for mama and baby and provide suggestions for family members.
STUDIO Location
Our Cozy Studio is located near Downtown McAllen and is designed to be a warm, relaxing place for our sessions with all the comforts of home. We have everything you’ll need to ensure you experience is relaxed and enjoyable. To find out more about our Studio visit here.
Simple Props
Our style is Natural, Organic and Timeless and we create artwork with soft light, neutral tones, and simple props that keeps all the focus on you and your little ones. Wooden toys, old-fashioned blocks, cuddly stuffed animals, and classic books are among some of the props you'll find in the Studio.
NATURAL POSING
My approach to posing both newborns and babies is simple, pure, and natural. It is always my goal to ensure both baby and their family have an enjoyable session. I prefer to keep baby loosely wrapped and cozy and don’t force poses on baby that they are not comfortable with. If baby allows, I unwrap them at the end of their session and work to pose them sweetly or place them in a simple white onesie to capture them just as they are. I have worked with hundreds of babies over the years and am very attuned to their cues, likes and dislikes. It is always my hope that families leave my studio commenting on how relaxing and effortless their session was.
Memory Artwork
After your session you will receive both a digital online gallery to share with friends and family, as well as a custom usb drive for long-term safe keeping. You will also receive the printed artwork that you chose with your collection to cherish and hold in your hands for years to come.
