WHAT TO EXPECT
If you are new to doing a photoshoot or you have experience working with other photographers. You may or may not know that every experiences will be different with different artists. Sierra ensures quality experience for all her clients throughout the entire creative process.
​
First step: The type of photoshoot.
​
The first thing you should decide is what type of photoshoot you would like to do. If you are doing creative portraits, do you have a specific concept in mind, or do you prefer Sierra to help conceptualize one for you? Are you in need of standout headshots for your business? Do you requiring branding content for your website or socials? Once you have decided which type of photoshoot you want to do, Sierra will work with you to create the perfect concept, styling, and location for your shoot.
​
2. Creative conceptualization and planning the photoshoot.
​
Sierra will get to know you through asking a series of questions that will help her determine the purpose of the photoshoot and your desired outcome. This will give her the tools to start creatively conceptualizing the shoot. As an artist, Sierra believes in storytelling, and creating a narrative in her art is very important to the process. The more she knows about you and your brand, the more Sierra can specifically tailor the shoot to you.
​
Sierra will create a mood board with inspirational photos of they style, wardrobe, makeup, location, props, and other variables that are essential to the production. She will also help with posing before and during the shoot, to ensure you are comfortable going in.
​
If you require a makeup artist or stylist, this can also be booked through Sierra, if you please.
​
3. Day of the shoot.
​
On the day of the shoot, Sierra will meet you at the location. She will brief you on how the shoot will go, as well as help you with wardrobe and any last minute styling decisions. Her main objective is to make you feel as comfortable and confident through the entirety of your photoshoot, by directing any posing, movements, or emotions. This will ensure that she is able to capture those perfect shots.
​
After the shoot is complete she will make sure that you are happy with the content captured and that there isn't anything missing that you may want to include.
​
4. Post-production
​
Sierra will give you the option of either choosing your own photos for her to edit, or she can decide for you. Turnaround time for receiving all the edits is usually 3 weeks. If you need the images sooner, this can be discussed with Sierra. She will provide you with a professional and private online downloadable gallery in both mobile and browser versions.
