Personal Story Package
People who book a personal shoot with us like our photography style and want to see themselves through our eyes. Very often they are young women ages 25 to 50 who do the shoot as a gift to themselves, capturing a new chapter in their lives or trying on a character they have been gravitating to.
Our approach goes beyond a common portrait shoot, we work with each client to identify themes they are attracted to and produce a shoot that shows their authenticity and character. These sessions can be inspired by the playful chic of 1920s, minimal style and charm of France, or a lazy morning with a newspaper and coffee.
Pricing: starts at $400
Process:
We work with you to talk through scenarios, themes and images you like. We then present ideas to capture just the right mood and feel to highlight your character.
Delivery:
Images are retouched and delivered over email in high resolution within 2 weeks after they have been selected by the client.
Personal Shoot FAQs
How long does the personal shoot last?
The personal session shooting time is usually around 2 – 3 hours.
What do I need to do after booking?
You will need to send an email to Round Circle Photo with your recent photo and schedule a free consultation. During this time, we will meet face-to-face or connect over Skype to find the right theme for your session and plan it.
What if I don’t know the theme I want my shoot to have?
You don’t have to know the final theme you want for your session. As soon as you book the shoot with us, we will start working with you on identifying the images you like, exploring the characters that attract you and the way you want to look in your photos. Based on this dialogue, we can propose the theme that reflects your individuality.
Where will the shoot take place?
Depending on the season and theme of the session, the shoot can be scheduled outside or in the studio. If the shoot is taking place outside, we will send you a list of proposed locations.
Do you offer a makeup artist?
We can refer you to a few professionals who focus on make-up and hair styling. Their services are covered separately, and their rates vary. Though we do advise having your makeup and hair done professionally, it is not a requirement. If you are confident in your own skills, you can do the makeup on your own.
Will I need to sign any paperwork?
Yes, you will need to sign a model release (standard practice for all shoots) and bring your ID with you to prove that you are over 18 years old and can sign legal documents.
What should I wear for the personal session shoot?
Wardrobe choices are discussed individually and are proposed based on the theme of your shoot. We can suggest an overall direction as well as propose items available to purchase online (that you can return after the shoot) as well as work with clothes that you already have as long as they fit the theme of the shoot.
Generally speaking, we advise wearing solid colors clothes that have a slightly fitted or relaxed fit.
In addition, the studio has a few wardrobe samples on hand that can be used for a shoot to accentuate or elevate a look when it is needed.
What will I need to have with me for the shoot?
On the day of your shoot it’s a good idea to bring with you the following items: nude or black underwear, hair pins, hair tie, hair brush, your own makeup that you wear on a daily basis, body cream, bottle of water and granola bar. Also be sure to have your nails filed short with no nail polish or clear/natural nail polish.
Will I be able to select the final images?
Yes, you will receive digital proofs to make the final selection. You can select up to 5 images per session to be retouched. The final images will be delivered to you over email.
Can I do more than one theme at the shoot or change wardrobe?
Yes, you can. Additional themes and wardrobe changes are $200 each.
Do you do maternity sessions or high school portraits?
No, we don’t think we are a good fit for these sessions. Our personal sessions are focused on storytelling and character development and do not fit the mold of maternity sessions or senior photos.
