When anyone books with me the first thing to expect is for me to want to get to know the clients. There will be at least 2 consultations before the event to get a feel for what my clients needs are and what I need to provide them with as well as having them fill out a checklist of images they would like taken at their event. I believe in customizing everything to fit my client. I am very professional and my work is what is most important to me. I work with any style or budget and I make sure I am not in the way of any important events at a session (the first kiss, first dance, speeches, etc.) I expect full payment by the time of service. It generally takes me up to 3 weeks to finish the images to be previewed by the clients and they have their choice of photos. The number of photos depends on the package we work out since I customize each package per client. At this point there will be a final meeting to determine the photos they would like in their package as well as any add ons. I personally deliver my photos to insure they do not get bent or damaged in the mailing process but I'm my client chooses mail delivery I will oblige.
I firmly believe in knowing who you are working with when it comes to businesses like mine.
I am a mother of two beautiful children (I'm sure you've seen them as my photo headers) and married to the most wonderful and supportive man. The love of photography started out very early for me as just after I was born my Dad started his own professional photography business. Well to be fair he did the pictures, my Mom ran the books and interacted with the clients. I was my Dad's little model anytime he got a new camera or a new light or even a backdrop.
Fast forward a few years later I had joined 4-H and saw photography as one of the activities that could be done so of course I wanted to do that. It was then that I realized I really liked the craft of photography. With 4-H I won first place in our County Fair and went on to State Fair which to me was a big deal. That year my Dad bought me my first little Nikon digital camera for my birthday. I loved that camera and had it for years until I was taking nature shots in the winter at our creek and dropped it into the water. A testimony of my clumsiness.
Fast Forward again and I was out, living with my husband and was about to give birth to my precious daughter. I had a baby shower and amongst all the onsies, diapers, and advice I received lots of gift cards and cash. So I went and got myself a new camera so I could record the memories that would soon come with my daughter. Once she was born my love of photography came back full force and I was the "Momarazzi".
A few years later my son was born and I invested in a Nikon DSLR camera. I learned to use it with the help of a few friends that are also in the trade and started taking pictures for family and friends. When I saw how well they came out, and friends and family both agreed I should do this for a living, and Authentic Exposure was born.
Authentic Exposure is a home based professional photography company based in Batavia Oh but provides services in surrounding areas. I am a on-location photographer so there is no studio. I believe in photographs being completely authentic (hence the name) so I use my surroundings (may it be a park, lake or even the comfort of a clients home if that is what they prefer). I wish for my clients to pick the place and how they would like their pictures to look by utilizing different areas and poses. However the biggest inspiration for me and my clients is Pinterest. Once the photo session is complete I have edited proofs for viewing within 1 week. For weddings it could be up to 2 weeks. I also believe in a close relationship with my client so I will let them know what is happening at every step and have a sit down to discuss what they would like.
Remember these are your moments, you should make them how you want and I just capture them.
I am an on location photographer so I do not need any tables or anything. It also doesn't matter if the venue is indoors or outdoors I work with all lighting. All I need is to research the venue so I know what I need to account for before I get to the event.
