What to expect.
At a portrait session.
At the session.
We aim to have fun at our sessions!
We come with a script of poses, so expect to move/walk around with some Pine & Palm twists to bring your most natural smiles out. We bring lots of energy to our sessions. It’s all about having a good time and forgetting you’re getting your pictures taken.
Your feet will get wet during the session with us. We won’t intentionally get you soaked, but we never limit the magic you folks are willing to let us capture! Pine & Palm Productions’ photographers pride themselves on adapting to any situation to extract every last drop of beauty a moment has to offer.
We provide cold refreshments & a small snack for our Portrait Package sessions. Snacks are mostly used to buy smiles when needed, but always available for clients. (We usually have water, Capri Sun, Ritz cheese or peanut butter bite size, Chips Ahoy bite size, and fruit gummies available for clients)
After the photoshoot.
We accept payment for the final balance due during this time. We have mobile readers making us able to accept debit or credit cards along with Google Pay or Apple Pay. We do accept Cash payments, but for the safety of our clients we prefer card or e-payments.
We take tons of shots typically 1,000+ to ensure every moment can be captured forever. Don’t worry though, its our job to filter out the best shots! You would then receive, 3-5 business days after your session, an proofing email containing your RAW images to select from. We have found that about 10 images per image you have in your allotment seems to be the perfect amount to display every pose/angle with a variety of facial expressions while not overwhelming the client with too many choices.
We refuse to limit our artistic vision to any specific style or filter set. Pine & Palm Productions is committed to never applying a preset filter during the editing process of any of our images.
Every image is hand edited and color graded to bring out the unique aspects of your session that maximize aesthetic and overall quality. That being said, let us know your vision! We love getting artistic and creative with every single one of our clients to provide you with the highest quality and most personalized experience possible.
What to bring.
All the smiles and happiness for us to capture!
You can also feel free to bring your own props (i.e. hats, lei, maternity props, etc…) to the session for us to use in your images.
We also recommend that you folks bring a towel to dry off/clean up with. Your feet/lower legs may be getting wet/sandy and not every location has rinse stations.
