Custom Sessions
Many times you will have people ask if you take photos outside of the school setting. Absolutely! We call these sessions – Spoiled Rotten Custom. These sessions are intended for one family at a time.
Planning
When planning a custom session, you’ll want to cover all the details to make it a successful session. Take time to uncover the purpose of the session. Determine the degree of formality desired and where the portraits will be displayed. This can help you best determine the setting and what the family should be wearing. You can use a questionnaire to help you gather this information.
Here is a sample email that you can send when people ask about a custom session (modify it for your own needs).

Please tell me a little bit about each person to be photographed. *
You can list their favorite things, tell a fun fact, or just tell me about their personality.
Please tell me what your perfect portrait would look like. *
Please describe the room where this portrait will be displayed. *
Is the room formal or casual? What colors are used in this room?
Do you have a location in mind for your session? *
What clothing have you selected for this session? *
Please list the clothing colors and style. *** Remember if you want a classic look, choose fashionable but not trendy pieces. Solids or small prints work best. For a more modern or colorful portrait- bright colors and patters are great- just remember bold patterns and stripes will draw attention away from your beautiful faces. If dressing for a family portrait: You want to all look like you belong together, but not be in a family uniform! Choose clothing that looks great on you and everyone stick to either light or dark colors. For example if everyone has on dark colors, and one person wears white- the person wearing white will be the focal point of all the portraits. One tip that always works… for a family portrait- lay all your clothes out as if they could be worn in one outfit. If the “outfit” looks great together- the clothing will look great in your portrait. ***
