How to Start

Give us a call at 239-947-2852 or email Christine@santacruzphoto.com and ask us to contact you. We will discuss your needs and answer how we can be of service to you. If you like what you hear, we’ll schedule a Pre-Photo Session Consultation with you, in your home at your convenience.

​

Pre-Photo Session Consultation

Your Photo Session is custom tailored in the comfort of your home. You are guided through wardrobe, hair styling, make-up, location and much more. Your display space is measured so your artwork fits perfectly. Every detail is preplanned so you can relax and enjoy the Photo Session.

Photo Session at Home

A professional stylist of your choice will provide your hair styling and make-up. While we set up our equipment to prepare your first portrait set.

 

​​We'll call you on set when the session time arrives. Multiple poses, camera angles and lighting changes will be explored. We will take frequent breaks along the way — to give you time to relax and always look fresh. You will be on set for about 1 hour.

​

You take a break to relax and change your wardrobe. We use this time to set up in a second location. We call you back on set for a second session, again lasting about 1 hour. When the session is over, we pack up and leave you to enjoy the rest of your day.​

​

Photo Session on Location

Location sessions are often the most exciting and rewarding. Both the experience you have and the artwork that emerges are enhanced by a great location. Your time on set works much the same way it does in the home location setting. 

 

A professional stylist of your choice will provide your hair styling and make-up. While we set up our equipment to prepare your first portrait set.

 

A session plan specific to the location you have chosen will be provided. Planning must be adapted to the chosen location.

​

 Choosing Your Favorites

A couple of weeks after your Photo Session, we return to your home and present the best images for your consideration. 

​

One full size print will be displayed at your presentation. No small proof print or online photo gallery, you will see the finished, full sized artwork displayed in your home.

 

Remaining images will be presented on a very large 4K monitor. Having seen a fully finished print you can choose any image knowing the printed artwork will exceed your expectations.

 

This is the only time you will view all of the images from your Photo Session. Please make sure everyone involved attends this presentation.

​

You have no obligation to purchase. You only purchase artwork you love and want to own. If you decide not to purchase, we even refund your reservation fee. The experience has cost you nothing and you received free hair styling & make-up for your time spent.​​​

Artwork Delivery

Your artwork is delivered to your home within 2 weeks of your purchase. Framed and folio artwork will take longer.
