As photographers, we often use industry-specific terms that are second nature to us. However, it’s important to ensure our clients understand these terms as well. We frequently mention that we are a full-service studio, but what does that truly mean for our clients? Let’s dive into a recent project to illustrate our full-service design capabilities.
Bringing the Client’s Vision to Life
Colette had a fantastic vision for the large wall in the entryway of her family home. She collaborated with local artist Catherine Goll (@weepyweaver), commissioning three stunning tapestries that beautifully captured the colors and textures of nearby City Park. When we arrived, these tapestries were already adorning the wall, setting the perfect backdrop for our work.
We began by photographing and measuring the wall space where Colette wanted new artwork. This attention to detail ensures that every piece we create fits perfectly in its intended space. Following this, we ventured into the park for a fun-filled family photoshoot, capturing moments that would soon become cherished memories on their walls.
The Proofing Process: Turning Moments into Art
About two weeks after the photoshoot, Colette joined us at our studio for a proof reveal and design session. This is a pivotal step in our process. During this session, clients review their proofs and select the images they wish to print. We also discuss any desired edits, from minor touch-ups like removing distractions to more detailed adjustments like head swaps to ensure everyone looks their best.
Designing Custom Wall Art
The proofing session is also when we design custom art pieces for our clients’ walls. With photos and precise measurements of the spaces where the artwork will hang, we create mock-ups using our design software. This allows clients to see exactly how the final pieces will look in their home, making it easier to choose the perfect frames and sizes.
The Final Reveal
The final result is a stunning wall art piece that perfectly aligns with Colette’s vision. Seeing her delight when the artwork was delivered and installed was incredibly rewarding. Our full-service approach, from the initial photoshoot to the final installation, ensures that every client receives personalized and perfectly tailored artwork for their home.
By involving our clients in every step of the design process and utilizing advanced design software, we help them visualize their images in unique and creative ways. This comprehensive approach not only meets but often exceeds their expectations, turning their visions into beautiful realities.
