The Experience

What’s the story, the dealio, the haps!
Let’s talk expectations when we work together.

Here is the quick version…scroll a little for the detailed version!

Photoshoot Booking Page

Tap this (kinda huge) button to get to the booking page. Pick a date if the calendar is open and showing available dates that has the type of shoot you want. Or scroll past the calendar and tap one of the photo shoot types and then fill out the intake form. I will get back to you soon and go through details with you!

Step 1

Lovingly track my moves on all the places online, social media, my website, etc. Build up the excitement because you know we’d have a great time together. So, you reach out.

Step 2

I’ll get back to you pretty quickly because I just can’t wait to know what we can create together! I’ll email you back and/or text you so you know my number, and we can set up a chat!

Step 3

Once we nail down a date, location and what kind of photo shoot session we are going to have, I’ll send you a proposal about what we discussed, a contract and the deposit info. It’s all set up to handle all at once and online.

Step 4

We might have some more planning to do as we get closer to the date, or determined we are all ready to go at Step 3. Either way, I’m here for any questions you may have before our session. But don’t worry, I’ll also send over my FAQ with helpful hints from 20+ years of experience.

Step 5

It’s photo session time! We will laugh, we will party, we will create beautiful photos!!! Prepare for Dad jokes or surprising you with my really dope dance moves to get that shot! I’ll do it! Don’t test (play Ice Ice Baby) me!!!

Step 6

You find zen and patience after our session! hehe. ;) Your proposal from Step 3 will give the exact turnaround time frame, but it will be 1-4 weeks depending on the session type.

Step 7

You’ll receive an email with a link and password to check out your private online gallery. Depending on our contract, you’ll have digital download credits and possibly print credits. Either way, your gallery is set up to give you options to add more digital downloads or prints directly to your cart.

Step 8

You can print photos with my professional print company from the gallery, or take your photos to the print company of your choice. Your digital photos are yours to print or share, or post on social, as you’d like. Thanks for trusting me with your memories!

 FAQs

  • I regularly update my open availability. Check it out HERE. If you don’t see a date or time you’d like, please reach out. It doesn’t mean the date is off limits. I may be available, or we will find what works out for both of us.

  • It depends on the type of photo session you are looking for. You can check out the Pricing page or go directly to my booking site for more information…tap HERE.

  • My booking site gives you lots of options via Stripe, including Afterpay, Affirm, Klarna, and CashApp. I also have options with PayPal, Venmo and Zelle, which does include processing fees (ranging from 4-11%) that will be added to the total due. Cash is also an option, and does include a little bonus for keeping all those fees out of the way!

  • Unfortunately, I can’t update the proposal once it’s signed. For example, if you decide that after everything is signed and payments have started that you want to add more event time to your wedding/elopement package, we will have to add that after I deliver the gallery, and you have sent the additional payment (which will have to be outside of Stripe).

  • Depending on the type of photo shoot session we have, it will depend on how many photos I have to do post work on. In short, the longer the session the longer the turnaround time will be, especially for elopements, weddings or other events. Time ranges from 1-6 weeks.

  • I have a gallery site that also gives you access to download your digital images. I provide high resolution images so you can print pretty large. But also not so large it’s too big of a file for your computer storage. I recommend downloading to your computer instead of your phone for that reason. I am able to put your photos on a disc or thumb drive, for a minimal fee if that’s your preference.

  • In a way, yes I can, if you’d like. Some contracts have a print credit, but everyone has access to order prints directly from your private gallery. I use a professional grade print house, that I have used for over 15 years. Let me know if you need additional directions on how to order prints through me.

  • YES! Please do! I’d love and really appreciate if you’d tag my social accounts when you share! @loriwongphotography (FB/IG) Please shout out my name or website on other platforms I’m not on.

  • The usual time frame Fall Mini Sessions are opened are in August. If you’d like to get ahead of the crowd, please reach out via the form below. It’s always first come, first serve.
