THE EXPERIENCE
Julie Hood Photography is a full service portrait studio. My team and I are here to guide you through the whole process so that you have an incredible experience and always feel like our most important client.
Style Consultation
The Style Consultation is the first step in your portrait experience. This appointment is where we talk about how you want to be photographed, what you want your portraits to say about you, who you want to be photographed with and what you plan to do with your images. Are you going to hang them on the wall, create an album, keep them private, share them online, use them for business or perhaps give them as gifts?
With a Custom Session, you can create images for both personal and business. You’ll be photographed in four to five (4-5) different looks with wardrobe and backdrop changes. To select your wardrobe, I can help you choose items from your closet that would look best. You have full access to the studio closet (sizes 8-22), or I can give you suggestions for shopping and rentals if you’re looking for something new or special for your session.
We go over all the details including what to expect, how to prepare, what products are available and a full price guide. Your consultation can be done at the studio or via zoom, whichever works best for you, especially if you’re coming in from out of town for your session.
The Photo Shoot
Professional Hair & Makeup
Who doesn’t love a makeover day? Your hair and makeup artist will help you feel pampered and absolutely gorgeous with camera ready makeup to ensure your photos are fabulous. This day is all about making you feel beautiful and relaxed. In fact, you’re going to look and feel so good, you should definitely plan a night out after we’re done.
Posing Guidance
No need to worry about how you should stand or pose. It’s my job as your photographer to guide you from the top of your head, to the point of your toes. I know exactly how to flatter all shapes and sizes and bring out your personality in your portraits.
And, if you think you’re not photogenic, I’ve got you. Being photogenic isn’t something you are or aren’t. It’s all about how comfortable you are in front of the camera and I’m a pro at getting you comfortable. My number one goal for the day is to make sure it’s fun for you. I promise we will laugh and have you relaxed in no time.
Ordering Session
We’ll schedule an in-person appointment (in studio or online via zoom) so that you can see your portraits and choose the ones you absolutely love. I have to warn you though, you’re going to love them and have a hard time narrowing down your photos so be prepared to fall in love with yourself.
