LET'S CREATE A CONCEPT - ONE, SIBLING



CUSTOM CONCEPT GOAL:
Collaborate together so I can interpret what is uniquely your child through the unique perspective of my artist lens.

MOM OFTEN WANTS: A child perfectly pressed with perfect hair, perfectly done with a bow, sitting quietly looking at the camera - there is a time for that!

THIS SESSION is all about the REAL KID.

What are we portraying this year as to WHO this child is RIGHT NOW?
We are doing this now because...

What I love about my child at this age right now is...

What is unique and really cool about them right now is...

Right now my child's favorite thing they are into is...

If I had to use one word to describe who my child is right now it would be... EXAMPLES: (becoming, tween, sassy, independent)

Five words I would choose for a word cloud to describe who they are right now would be...

We are doing this now because...

Are there little things that you can add - pieces of jewelry, an heirloom?

(EAMPLE: Recent daughter who became diabetic now has asilver continuous glucose monitor that we highlighted as a badge of courage! Her family wanted to celebrate how brave she was through the process.)

Do they have a favorite blankie, toy, or object that is near and dear to them?
BE SURE to bring the disgusting blankie or lovey. (Don’t wash it. It needs to be dirty)

(*BE SURE TO BRING whatever it is they are into to inspire the session

Their favorite books, if they’re a reader

They’re Xbox controllers, if they are a gamer)

The items with layers of meaning I plan to bring are...

(The goal is to create something magical, uniquely THIS child in the Ever After style.)
Clothing that would be true to my child's personality would be... (If you have a girl that’s more sporty, let's not put her in some overly saccharine princessy dress.)

Want to involve your child? Only give TWO CHOICES of clothing you preselect and ask them "Which one is your favorite?
OR
Let them pick an accessory or something to bring with them.

The CLOTHING I plan to bring is...

CONSIDER choosing SHOES that show your child's personality OR add a more MODERN element

EXAMPLES:

Converse/Chuck Taylor’s tend to be very, very timeless - either high tops, low tops
vans
Ballet flats- very, very plain
Cowboy boots
Wellies like hunter wellies
Mud or rain boots are timeless
grandpa's cowboy boots
grandma’s pair of old pumps

The SHOES I plan to bring are...

STYLE CHOICES

Which one is your favorite?

STYLE MODERN HEIRLOOM

The Ever After Portraits' Modern Heirloom style is a fresh, contemporary take on the family portrait and can convey vibrance an energy or iconic elegance, whatever best represents your family style.

Modern Heirloom on our bright white background is definitely our most modern type of family portrait perfect for active kids.

MODERN HEIRLOOM - SHADES OF GREY BACKGROUND

Modern Heirloom on our shades of grey background is a very modern type family portrait - perhaps a tiny bit more timeless, a little quieter - combining dramatic lighting and rich color.

STYLE BLACK AND WHITE

The Ever After Portraits' Black and White style is a study of your family in timeless black and white. Dramatically lit, this fine art style of portraiture conveys warmth and emotion.

There are two different ways we can photograph the background.
BLACK AND WHITE CHOICES

BLACK AND WHITE - BRIGHT WHITE BACKGROUND

Black and white with the bright white background is one of our most modern styles.

BLACK AND WHITE - GREY CANVAS BACKGROUND

Black and white on our grey canvas background has more of a classic appeal.

                                          What does displaying Family Portraits in your business office say about you?

                                          Some business owners consider their family first and foremost their PROUDEST achievement.

                                          They want their patrons to know that they are a family company, with good family values, to attract like-minded people.

                                          When people come into their office and see portraits of you with your family, they get the message right from the get-go that your company values family, teamwork, people development.

                                          Whether you own a doctors or dentist office, restaurant, retail space, hotel, or any other kind of commercial space, the art you choose to display can reveal a lot about you and have a multitude of effects on your guests and customers.

                                          Just as displaying a photo on Spring Break might send the message you like to 'party", promently displaying your family in your business sends the message you consider your finest achievement Your Family!

                                          How can that affect our customers? It sends the message that...

                                          You Value Relationships
                                          When you display photos of loved ones in your office, it sends a clear message that you prioritize relationships in your life, fostering a more welcoming and relatable atmosphere, making it easier for colleagues and clients to connect with you on a personal level.

                                          You're Authentic
                                          Displaying family portraits in your office signifies that you're comfortable with being authentic at work. It shows that you're not just a professional robot but a real person with a life outside the office. This authenticity can make you more approachable and relatable to colleagues and clients, ultimately strengthening your professional relationships.

                                          You Have a Story to Tell
                                          When people enter your business, they might be curious about your stories, what you value, giving you the opportunity to share what's important to you, life experiences and connect with others on a deeper level.

                                          You Take Pride in Your Achievements
                                          Portraits with your family showcase that to you, YOUR FAMILY is your highest achievement, and demonstrates you take pride in this accomplishment. This can inspire confidence in your values and the abilitiy to prioritize what's really important.

                                          Your Comfort Zone
                                          Displaying your family front and center, surrounds you with the people and moments that matter most to you, reflecting who you are and what you hold dear.

                                          BUT WHAT WILL I SPEND?

                                          ·       Because we want you to feel safe during our collaborative experience, no decisions, commitment, or product payment is required until your Ordering Session.

                                          ·        And, because we want you to purchase what you love, if you don’t love what we create, you are not required to purchase a thing!

                                          ·        We believe professional portraits deserve to be displayed in your home – our options suit a range of tastes, lifestyles and budgets, from traditional to modern.

                                          ·        Commissioned by discerning clients to create original artwork of those they love most, your family portraits will become treasured heirlooms.

                                          ·        When children see themselves on the wall in a portrait display, their pride and delight is palpable.

                                          While our entry level Wall Art portraits start at $1,500, you may wonder what most of our clients spend. 

                                          Some families spend $2,000-$4,000-plus on their portrait collection.

                                          Most end up spending somewhere near $3,000 to $5,000

                                          It is not uncommon for people to spend more than that. I have had clients spend up to $20,000 because everyone is so different. 

                                          What we do is custom to each family, so I can't tell you what your total is going to be until I know what you want, and you are not going to know what you want until you see your portraits. But I want you to know where prices start.

                                          I don't tell people what to spend - I want you to get what you LOVE - what you spend is up to you!

                                          Sometimes people end up spending more than they thought because they love more than they thought they would.  That’s very normal and why we offer two payment plans so you can have what you love in a way that feels comfortable. Know that as a thank you for placing your order during your Ordering Session, bonuses are available so you won't pay full retail price for anything.

                                          To give more of a modern vibe, CONSIDER choosing SHOES that show your child's personality OR add a more MODERN element to your portraits.

                                          EXAMPLES OF SHOES THAT BRING PERSONALITY OR A MORE MODERN VIBE:

                                          Converse/Chuck Taylor’s tend to be very, very timeless - either high tops, low tops
                                          vans
                                          Ballet flats- very, very plain
                                          Cowboy boots
                                          Wellies like hunter wellies
                                          Mud or rain boots are timeless
                                          grandpa's cowboy boots
                                          grandma’s pair of old pumps
