I wanted to share a little about what it is I do and what you can expect from your sessions. I've been capturing memories professionally since 2008 and have loved every minute! I also created Joe Bangles, a handmade Baby and Childrens clothing boutique. You can find our shop at www.etsy.com/shop/joebangles. I'm able to combine adorable clothing with soulful photography and there couldn't be anythi
ng better! I specialize in newborn, child photography and small family but have done many weddings, maternity, events, seniors and birthdays. I also have three beautiful children and a loving supportive husband. When you schedule with my services you can expect great quality and a fun atmosphere. Q: What is Lifestyle Photography? A: Lifestyle Photography is a more candid, relaxed approach to portraiture. It does NOT make it any less valuable or professional. It just captures your families real life personalities and emotions. It captures the "soul" of the moment. Q: Will you also do "Portrait Style" photos? A: Yes, I will include some Portrait photos along with a mix of Lifestyle, I make sure to capture you and your family the way you want. Q: How long are the sessions? A: Typical sessions are 30-45 minutes depending on the child or children and location. Q: How long until we see our proofs? A: Usually just 7-14d business days, I do my very best to be prompt with my work but there are times when I will have a sick child, family, or myself may become ill and process times may be delayed. You will be contacted if this is occurs. Q: What should I wear? A: I love color. I love clients to POP within the background. But, honestly, be you. Wear the style you love just stear away from solid whites as they tend to "blow out" or lose detail in the portrait. Q: Where can I purchase clothing for my kids that you make? A: Just visit our shop, www.etsy.com/shop/joebangles, for more details or feel free to email for a custom request! Q: Are you just an outdoor photographer? I have a studio in West Columbia, TX. I have done a lot of studio work specifically with newborns and small children. I just love working with the personalities of kids. Occasionally I will do a studio set indoors for model purposes used in my Joe Bangles Clothing Lines - if you are interested in modeling I am always looking for ages 6M-2T. Special discounts are applied to models. Q: What type of payment do you accept? A: I prefer cash, paypal, credit card (I have a portable card reader), or lastly check but I will need license and information for checks. If you have any other questions please feel free to email me! I would love to work with you and capture your families memories.
