Your Session Experience with Moments by Mare: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Book Your Session
Select the photography package that best fits your needs.
Complete a personalized questionnaire tailored to your session.
Sign the session contract.
Submit a 25% non-refundable retainer to officially secure your date.
Step 2: Plan the Details
Once your session is booked, planning begins!
If you selected “yes” in your questionnaire, you’ll receive a link to my curated Pinterest board for outfit inspiration. These looks are selected to complement my editing style.
I recommend choosing complementary colors and varying shades over matching tones for the best visual balance.
You’ll also have access to my client closet, which includes a growing collection of clothing in various sizes.
Step 3: Choose Your Location
For 30-minute sessions, a location may be pre-selected if I have multiple sessions scheduled on the same day.
If location selection is open, you’re welcome to:
Explore my curated Location Guide on the website.
Send me a couple of your favorites.
Or let me know the scenery you’re envisioning, and I’ll offer suggestions.
Step 4: Session Prep
The week of your session, I’ll check the weather and reach out to confirm everything is on track.
The remaining balance is due no later than the day of your session.
Step 5: Session Day
I will arrive early to scout the location and finalize a game plan.
No need to worry about posing—I’ll have a variety of poses prepared and will guide you through the session.
If your session includes an outfit change, I’ll bring a pop-up changing tent for convenience.
Throughout the shoot, I’ll show you a few previews and check in at the end to make sure we captured everything you had in mind.
Step 6: Post-Session Deliverables
Each session includes:
Polaroid keepsakes
One 8x10 print
A personalized online gallery
I’ll also share sneak peeks on my social media platforms. These can be saved for online sharing, but I don’t recommend using them for printing.
Once your full gallery is ready, you’ll receive a download link via email. Downloaded images will be high-resolution and watermark-free. (Please note: screenshots may display watermarks and reduce image quality.)
Step 7: Image Selection & Delivery
You’ll select the number of images included in your package for download.
You’ll also have the option to purchase additional images or the entire gallery if desired.
Step 8: Final Edits & Archive
You have 2 weeks after gallery delivery to request any edits.
After that period, your images will be safely archived in permanent storage.
