The EJP Boutique Experience
Why choose EJP?
It's not just picking your favorite photos, it's finding someone you can be yourself with in order to capture you. Senior photos, family photos, grandchildren, anniversaries, branding portraits, headshots, concept shoots, boudoir... there are a million reasons to step in front of a camera, so here's what you can expect in front of mine:
Be prepared to laugh. I tell people I dye my hair blonde for a reason, and while I may take a second to understand your joke, or slip in the mud and wipe out, you're welcome to laugh at me as much as with me. I come with goofy energy (that comes naturally), but a fierce knowledge of my art to ensure I'm snapping my shutter button the moment I see the "real" laugh, the natural smile, the pose that puts you in the best light and... the best light. Whoever is in the photos, I want to know more about who you are and curate a location, wardrobe and overall vibe for the session. I want to know your favorite features on you and your least favorite ones so I can highlight you in ways you feel most confident. And after we shoot? I want you to choose your final images to be fully retouched & edited, so you have the most control.
Not exactly a fast food joint, but I do like my clients to "have it your way". I've gone shopping with and for clients, sent links and vision boards for wardrobe, and completely planned a session where the family just shows up. I allow for you to have creative control, and I offer my full creative control, and then also somewhere a bit in between. No ego involved, as your wishes matter too. Want a clean, crisp edit? Got it. Love something darker and moody? Sold! While I tend to be very vibrant and colorful, the many years I've spent in this career allow me to be flexible, fun, and accommodating. I am super proud of the variety in my portfolio and can guarantee a wonderful experience with EJP. The goal is always to make sure my clients have the best time and fall in love with their photos forever.
I am available to travel across the US! Need a photographer for your vacation fun? Ask me for more info!
What next?
Whether you're a senior, you just got engaged, you graduated 8th grade, you opened your own business (don't forget to check my commercial page!), it's Taco Tuesday with the girls, you got a new car... or you just want to document how badass you are. Portrait sessions can be short, sweet, and smooth, or we can use every last drop of sunlight and shoot your entire wardrobe. You deserve to be celebrated and memories saved at every milestone in your life... I'm the good friend to help do it with our rose colored glasses.
We originally start with a consultation (phone, zoom, or over coffee!) so I can get to know your story, chat about your style, and work with you to plan a session you'll always remember. I have perfected my craft and can do one outfit/style in about a half an hour for an average sized family/group (4-5 max). I offer hour sessions as well, which are great for seniors, branding sessions, larger groups, engagements etc. and allow for an outfit change or two. You get to build your session to suit you!
After we do the actual shoot, I provide a gallery full of proofs with standard edits (light & contrast). You decide how many to purchase after seeing your gallery. That way you can take your time to mull over your favorites and get exactly as you wish. For print orders, we'd do your meeting in person. Digital files are printable up to 8x12, so larger prints must be purchased through EJP. Pre-purchase your digital package with your session retainer and get 3 extra digitals!
Send me an e-mail and let's create your perfect collection! Art prints, canvas, glass, metal and wood options are available.
Custom albums/books and speciality gifts can be added to any session.
