Why are you scheduling and what do you want to do with your portraits?

Why choose custom photography?

There must be a purpose for you to schedule a session. A new baby has arrived! You might be redecorating your home and in need of a new portrait. Maybe it has been a few years since your last family portrait. Your family may have grown in numbers and size. The holidays may be around the corner.

Whatever the reason, please convey this to your photographer before your session, so they have an idea of a certain portrait they will need to take. You may think you want a certain product, but in working with your custom photographer, they will look at your needs and suggest ideas or other products that are available.

Ask yourself, "how do you want to record your family legacy?" Do you want a canvas on the wall or a storybook album to tell the story of your family's interactions?

Amelia's Newborn Album

Amelia's beautiful keepsake album from her newborn session has arrived and I'm so excited to share a glimpse of it with you. Of course, there's nothing like actually holding this heirloom album, feeling the purple leather and the white stitching, and the beautiful watercolor paper with sweet newborn Amelia's face.

Why does custom photography cost so much?

Custom photography provides a highly personalized experience in which the client gets to pick many pieces of the puzzle that creates a wonderful piece of artwork they can cherish for years to come. That being said, the amount of time and cost to put this together drives the price of this experience.

Chain stores bring in a lot of people for a short cookie cutter experience which creates a product with their artistic stamp. You, as the client, have very little say in what they can actually do with your short period of time and then they go on to the next client.

When you decide on a custom photography experience, the photographer goes through the entire experience with you to bring your vision to life. To do this requires a lot more time and effort from the photographer. Your actual photo session may only take an hour, but your photographer has probably invested around 12-18 hours for a session per client. They do this to create the stellar customer service you may have come to know. They really want to focus on quality and not quantity. They also have the ability to offer different high-quality products.

You have also selected your photographer based on their artistic abilities. Like many other professions, there is a great deal of education and artistic exploration to create their vision. Unfortunately, the professional equipment is not cheap either. Have you wondered how much time or expense your photographer has invested to accumulate their props?

Pierce, 8 month baby plan session

Pierce was such a champ for his 8-month baby plan photography session. He even got a little boo-boo, but he just kept on going with no tears. Check out these with his cute suspenders and the last one with his first cowboy hat!

 Gotta love that BIG smile! It makes me smile!

Carter's Urban Portrait Session

Carter is just a 4 year old boy, but he rocked his portrait session. He amazed me with his ideas and I was thrilled that he was such a great model.  The location was one I had been wanting to experiment with more and it was perfect for my sweet boy. Here are just a few of my favorites from his creative photography session.

The Power of Print

I was recently reminded of the power a photographer has to affect people's legacies and it has reinforced the meaning of what I do as a photographer, and what we do here at Jenny Lee's Photography as we strive to create the best creative photography experience possible. Prints last hundreds of years and get re-discovered generations later.

Your Family's Legacy
Whenever I'm photographing for clients I try to remind myself that the photos are not only for the clients. Often times the portraits will have more meaning for the parents, the grandparents, the children, or the grandchildren that aren't even born yet. One of my favorite photographs is of my grandparents' wedding. There is just one black and white portrait, and it's them, frozen in a moment in time. It's a version of them, that I will never get to meet. It was before I was born. Photography gives us those slices of time, that allows our imagination to fill in the story. For me, it's even more powerful than video.

The portrait below is of my grandfather and grandmother on their wedding day.

As we watch our loved ones pull out albums and look through them, pointing out photographs that made history - their family history - we begin to understand in a much deeper way, the power of photography. And the power of a printed photo. The fact that we can reach out and physically touch something that represents people we love, frozen in time, makes all the difference.

My Family Memories

Every year, I print two family albums. One is just for our professional family portraits and the other one is filled with the normal, everyday events. I also print albums for each of my children on their birthdays. I absolutely love albums and so do my children. 

Create Albums, Create Fine Art Prints

Part of my duty as a photographer is to relay the importance of print. Our phones will die. Hard drives will die. The cloud will never be looked at. Books and prints will be picked up and looked at by generations to come. When I'm gone, our family albums and even this print of my grandparents will be looked at. 

Allow me to design an album and create fine art prints for you and your family. It may take some time and investment, but your family will cherish it forever.
