We have all heard these phrases, “My husband HATES taking photos” or “But i’m just really not that photogenic”. I do hope your mind can be put at ease knowing that you are not alone. Throughout my time as a professional portrait photographer, I have learned exactly what it takes to help guide you through your portrait session and create photos of yourself and loved ones that you truly love.
Portraits are meant for so much more than just living inside of our computers or phones. My goal as your photographer is to bring you something more than just digitals on a USB drive. I offer an array of hand-crafted products of the best quality to enrich your home.
At your consultation we will discuss your vision for your portraits. Together we will review your future investment and I will show you samples ranging from my premium heirloom Italian leather albums to the superlative options of wall art in different mediums.
I have designed a menu that will best suit each individual client for a custom experience and I believe that you should only purchase what you love.
How much should I budget for a portrait session?
Each client's investment will look a little different. Your investment will be based on how many portraits you love and the print medium you choose to display your favorites. Your initial session fee will be the only thing due at the time of securing your session date and investment averages will be discussed during your consultation.
Do I get the digital files?
Here at Stephanie Ratto Photography the maim focus on delivering tangible heirloom products to display in your home. However, each product purchased does include the coordinating high resolution digital file of your artwork or any photo that is included in your album.
I don't know what to wear!
Don't worry! We will have a pre session consultation together so that we can fully customize your session to best represent your tastes and style. If gowns and crowns do not resonate with you, that is no problem at all! I can create a mood board for shopping inspiration or I can help guide you with the best choices from your own closet.
You'll pose us right?
I will not only be guiding you each moment leading up to your session, but i'll be guiding you throughout your session with fun prompts and lots of laughter. Leave the expertise to me and enjoy the moments that i'll be capturing.
What if I don't love wall art?
Wall art isn't your thing? That's ok! I carefully curate products that are versatile for not only your walls, but can be used as shelf display art or heirloom albums to be cherished and passed down for generations to come.
