Photoshoot Expectations

The process of booking, shooting, and receiving edits

Booking

+ processing fees & sales tax

Pricing

Photoshoot prices are based on add-ons to keep them as accessible as possible while ensuring each customer can get exactly what they have in mind.

Scheduling

There are multiple ways to begin this process. Simply fill out the contact form at the bottom of this page or send a message on one of our social medias if you would like to talk about your ideas before booking. A contract and invoice will be sent to your email once we find a date. Your booked date is secured when the contract is signed and a retainer of half of your total amount is paid.
Our available location options are all within approximately 10 miles of Decatur. Anything beyond this requires a travel fee.

Planning your styling

Each photoshoot is unique and we offer a variety from casual family portraits to full glam fantasy.
We love to capture what makes you feel your best and offer options if you would like to wear something from beyond your closet.
Sam Rockwell is an experienced wardrobe stylist partnered with The Enchanted Wild who can help consult with you for picking out your dream attire, including access to the variety in our personal collections as well as locally sourced curated selections for you to shop.

Recommended things to look for when picking your wardrobe:

  • Something you feel confident in: how you feel can convey on camera so dress in a way you can comfortably move and express yourself

  • Pick colours that suit the look of your desired final image.
    -Neutral tones like white/cream/tan/olive green to create a soft, glowing look
    -Deep jewel tones like burgundy/hunter green/navy for a bolder look
    -A pop of bold colour like red/yellow/purple to stand out against the landscape
    -Whatever makes you feel excited to wear it!

  • If planning for a group pick a cohesive colour palette so each of you complements each other

  • Test the fit a week or two ahead of the shoot to make sure you like how it feels on your body. If possible take phone pictures from a variety of angles to check how you feel.

  • If wearing faerie wings: they are worn by sliding into the back of your top near your shoulder blades so they look the most natural. Ideally picking a corset or more structured top with minimal/no stretch will hold them best. Visit our Faerie Wing Care page for more tips on wearing wings.

  • Something that flows and has movement to create a dynamic feeling in the image

  • Textures that have details that will photograph well. Sheer chiffon, lace, beading, etc. can add interest.

  • Make sure to iron/steam whatever you pick to avoid wrinkles!

 

Photoshoot Preparations

Research Poses & Inspiration Images

Google and Pinterest are great resources for finding images you would like to emulate. Sharing images from online or from our past portfolio shares an idea of the desired final look we will attain through locations and lighting styles.
If there are poses you see online and forward to us ahead of your shoot we can help coach you through achieving them during your shoot.
It is recommended to try practicing in the mirror to see how you feel and which angles you love.

Hydration & Self-Care

Two days before your scheduled shoot start drinking as much water as possible. Being hydrated helps your skin glow and makes you feel healthier which conveys on camera.

Pack what you want to bring the night before

Prioritise rest & self-care so you look and feel your best the day of. This is a day to celebrate you and should be a fun experience as much as possible.
Start getting ready early so you minimise feeling rushed and stressed before the shoot

Things to Bring

  • Water

  • Bug spray

  • Makeup & mirror for touchups

  • Wardrobe options

  • Comfortable shoes for walking outdoors

  • Hair brush & necessary styling tools

  • Towel for sitting outdoors

  • Warm coverup if needed (robe/blanket/etc)

  • Saved inspiration poses

  • Potential props

During the Shoot

Eryn Price-Ormsby will be your photographer. They will meet at the chosen location and recommend arriving at least ten minutes early to do any touch-ups (and prepare for Atlanta traffic). Most nature locations require a brief walk to get to the photo areas. Once at the first spot there will be some warm-up time to build comfort and test the lighting. Then you can keep moving between locations until you have a variety of beautiful images.

 

After Your photoshoot

Within Two Days

Within 2 days after your photoshoot Eryn will send a Dropbox link with low-res unedited proofs for you to look through. Typically a one hour session can create 300-800 options. Take your time to look through these and pick out favourites. A one hour session comes with five edited images and more can be selected for $10 each.

Editing

Once your list of chosen images is provided your edits will be returned within three weeks. If you have specific requests (i.e. removing something, fixing a blemish, swapping heads in a group photo, etc.) please attach them next to the specific file name in your list. Eryn will let you know if your requests are possible upon receiving them.
We prioritise body positivity and will only do skin smoothing, colour adjustments, and light balancing unless requested otherwise. We will never warp an image beyond recognition, our focus is to celebrate what makes each individual beautiful

What to expect from edits

Skin smoothing, colour balancing, exposure adjustments, enhancing glow

My birthday self-portraits are almost always just an excuse to play dress-up and try to get a single picture with my cats. Obviously took these closer to my actual birthday, but prioritised work edits until now. A little different from my usual style

Reunited with @madame_zay to make some faerie magic. Loved getting to deck her out in my newest wings and dance around the forest together. Modelling by Zaynah Photography, wings, crown, and wardrobe by @silverwinteroak / @theenchantedwild
