Merrick Imagery's Recipe for Success.

👩‍💻

DESIGN CONSULTATION


  • Planning a photoshoot and styling your family can feel overwhelming, don't let this hold you back. I am here to walk you through the process and it all begins with a pre-consultation in studio or over the phone.
  • During this time I will get to know more about you and your family.
  • We will discuss what inspired you to reach out and where your portraits will live. 
  • ALL of your questions will be answered as we cover styling and best wardrobe selections, wall space and interior design preferences.
  • I will gain valuable insight that will help me create your dream images and ensure you have a full understanding of what I offer and the investment you'll be making.
  • We will go over all of your concerns in advance so I know where I can be of assistance to make the experience as relaxed and enjoyable as possible. 


📸

THE

SESSION


  • My number one goal during your session is to make it as low pressure as possible, while creating the most magic as possible.
  • I will walk you through posing and prompts designed to keep your family engaged and connected.
  • Stress about your kids cooperating? Have no worries, I am a boy mom of 2 and have specialized in child photography for over 10 years. I keep it low pressure, positive and playful.
  • Have a grumpy picture day hubby? Who doesn’t!  Dad’s I work with often say “oh that’s it! ” at the end of the session, because really, all they have to do is show up and be positive for their family. 
  • Not Photogenic? I hear this ALL the time and trust me, you are!  With posing that flatters, high end beauty lighting and master retouching, I have all the tools in my tool box to ensure you look and feel amazing!


🎉

REVEAL APPOINTMENT


  • The wait is over!  Two weeks post session I will invite you back to the studio where you will get to see all of your fully re-touched images.
  • We will go through your gallery and select your Can’t Live Without & Must Have images. 
  • Using our Design Consultation as my guide, I will have custom wall art options available to view “virtually” in your home true to size, using state of the art design soft-ware.
  • You will get to look and feel you way through my full sample gallery as we discuss the textures and finishes that best compliment your home.


💝

DELIVERY & INSTALLATION


  • The most exciting step of all!  Your order will take anywhere from 2-8 weeks to arrive depending on where in the world it is being hand crafted.
  • When it does we will hand deliver AND take care of installation for you. (Oh, the dads love this 😉.)

FAQ

When to book a Newborn Session? What do we need to bring?

We strongly recommend booking BEFORE Baby Arrives, preferably towards the end of your second trimester. This allows us time to plan and order any custom props, color fabrics etc. This also reserves the time on our calendar near your due date. Newborn Sessions typically take place in babies first 14 days of life. We provide everything needed...outfits, wraps, props, baskets etc.

Why is the best time to photograph a Newborn within 2 weeks of life?

Babies are sleepiest and less aware at this age. Once they move beyond week 2 their sensory skills are developing and they are now aware and alert. They become very sensitive to sound, movement and light. They also settle into their poses and stay in their poses a little longer within this time frame. Babies beyond the ideal newborn window can still be captured beautifully, however we can assume an additional hour of shooting time to accomplish the same amount of images and some poses may just not be a possibility depending on babies response (such as the head in hands -aka- Froggy Pose).

When to book a Maternity Session? What to Wear?

All Momma-To-Be's carry their babies differently, so this is totally up to you. We find most women feel their most comfortable and confident around the 33 weeks. We have a small Maternity Wardrobe available to you complimentary consisting of 5 Maternity Gowns and 1 Maternity Body Suit. If you are planning your own wardrobe, we recommend solid color flowing dress, one that has a little movement and texture…a beautiful float like fabric like chiffon photographs beautifully! A bold color will photograph brilliantly up at Red Rock or the Snow, while a light pastels look gorgeous with a desert or mountains scene. For studio Maternity anything goes. I love, love, love something artistic and unconventional that celebrates motherhood!

When will I receive my Finished Gallery?

Edited images will be available for viewing in an online password protected gallery within approximately 2 weeks of your session.

Can I purchase all of the images taken during the session?

I do not sell or provide RAW files or unedited images as part of my services. Many photographers view their work as art and providing anything less than our own standards is considered an unfinished piece. My company and my name are associated with all images released by me. I spend anywhere between 10-20 hours editing each session (correcting skin tones, blemishes, enhancing and adjusting lighting until the original image has come to life with the vision I had in mind when pushing that shutter button.) I focus on quality not quantity. I convert the images from camera RAW to high resolutions printable formats and configure the file and document sizes. I will not display images on my website or social media pages that are unedited.

Safety and Sanitizing?

Your families health and safety is always priority. All of my props are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized following EVERY session. I will not place your baby or child in a situation that either myself or you do not feel completely comfortable. With newborns and babies I ask mom or dad to be within arms reach as needed.

What to wear at your Family Session?

To capture that truly timeless look neutrals with a pop of color are the way to go! You want outfits that are not going to draw attention away from your precious family. I encourage my families to wear colors and fabrics that are natural, however we still want your chosen look to compliment your families style. Not too many patterns, but not all solids either. A great way to break up the “all one color” look is to mix up the fabrics, have some layering and of course accessories!
