Just like you knew you were meant for eachother, we want you to feel like we are the perfect match for your family! You want consistent images for life's greatest milestones that you can collect and share with you future grandchildren - you want a stress-free session where you'll look great even though the little ones just spilled cheerios all over the backseat - you want your family to enjoy the session and have fun - you want everyone to smile and want to do it again on holidays and special occasions every year - we want that for you too!
Because we understand how important your relationship with your photographer is, we start off our process by getting to know each other on our first virtual double date! Upon inquiring, we will send you an email and calendar link to set up our first meeting ("virtual double date") During that virtual call, we share our story, our values and photography style, plus we get to learn about your family and see if we're a good fit.
Once we know we're meant to be, we'll send you the contract and payment schedule. Once those two are submitted, we're officially official! Your session date goes on our calendar and we will begin planning all of the fun details! You will also receive our one-of-a-kind MSP Lifestyle Portraits Magazine: A Guide for MSP Families that we've created just for our families with 20+ pages of tips and information including what you and your family should wear, how to choose a location, how to prep for your session date and more!
Next is your session, yay! Prior to even shooting we'll choose the perfect location, outfits and props. Then, on the day of the session, we will spend two hours together. Your only job during our session is to have fun and enjoy the moment - You don't have to worry about poses, untucked shirts, loose hairs, etc. We will coach you through entire session and we'll even bring a little music too. During the session, we will continue to get to know each other and notice things like your favorite side. Bonus, you and your family will learn our core poses so on our first session together, so every session after the first will be a breeze! After your session, we invite you over to our cozy office to reveal your blog post, the images and order albums or prints, so fun!
You can expect your images to be done between 4-8 weeks, but we do our very best to get these back to you as soon as possible because we are soooo excited to share them with you, and have you share them with all your loved ones. Either over a Zoom call or when you come to our office we will show you your full gallery and how it works and start to build your albums and prints! - probably our favorite part ever! We will have all the options ready for you and will have recommendations just for your family! When your album and prints arrive, we inspect it and repackage it for you and send it on it's way to your home to add to your heirloom collection. Last step - share where you are showcasing your beautiful family portraits! We love to see them hanging in your home or your albums and folio boxes on your coffee tables.
We're big fans of printed heirlooms and while it may have a lot to do with having albums upon albums of photos growing up, its got even more to do with security and legacy. Technology changes and is unreliable because it's all up in the air, the cloud, whatever., but printed photographs will always endure and withstand the test of time. No matter how technology changes, or what we will face in the future, we will always have the security that our family's story is in print and is protected, that its tangible and its real! We can hold it, touch it, feel it, relive it, and share it. We are sure that this is the most beautiful legacy we can leave our nietos and bisnietos and well everyone after that!
Having digital images is wonderful but having a printed keepsake that tells a visual story of our family's milestones is truly priceless! If you haven’t already invested in an Album of your own, you can always come back at any time and order one. We encourage you to invest in an album or heirloom so that you have one last tangible thing from each big milestone to hold in your hands. We are firm believers that these albums are important not just for our families to have... but for their grandchildren and future generations to enjoy as well.
I highly recommend Meivys & David for event and portrait photography. The images were exactly what we wanted. For our baby shower, we received a detailed timeline or run of show and they asked for specifics on "must have" photos. For our most recent portrait shoot, we were given awesome tips on what to wear, and an amazing pinterest board with possible poses and ideas. We also love that the entire gallery of photos was made available to us digitally in less than two weeks. I have worked with other photographers, and this turn around time is unheard of! Simply incredible! So grateful to have these memories."
From the moment we scheduled with them, they were beyond prepared to answer all of our questions...Working with them on the day of our shoot it was so evident to us that they are true professionals. They have such an attention to detail, creating a memorable and enjoyable moment, and making sure we had images we truly loved. What's best is that within the same day as our photo session they shared with us some sneak pictures from our session and quickly followed up about when we could expect our finished images. We look forward to working with them in the future! They are truly superb!"
When I found out I was pregnant, photography was one of the most important elements for me during this journey. Since the moment I got in contact with them I knew right away we had found our photographers. I was able to see their style and it was exactly what we were looking for and I couldn't be happier with my decision. They are friendly and responsible, fun and easy to work with. We had wonderful experiences each and every time we hire them for our family events and that's the reason we keep hiring them and highly recommending them to our friends and family."
We have used them for engagement, wedding, pregnancy and now newborn photos. Every time they have been extremely helpful, fun and professional. In addition to their great service they also have several options for all different budgets when it comes to receiving your pictures. They are extremely fast to create the albums and stay in contact with me the entire time.I have been amazed every time when it comes to receiving my photo albums. I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who is in need of professional photographers."
"The best and most outgoing people and photographers you will ever meet. My greatest photos are taken by them and they are the sweetest people. They take their time making sure every photo comes out perfect. I highly recommend them!!"
"Thank you for making my girls experience so wonderful. I'm very happy to have made the right choice for my girls Quinciañera pictures. I will recommend you to everyone I know because I'm sure they will be getting a great service."
"Meivys & David are the BEST Team! They made my daughter feel comfortable during a long day of taking pictures..."
It can feel overwhelming and hard to choose, and you have so many questions!! You want to be guided, love how you look, and for everyone to have fun! - we totally get it! With ourselves and our favorite clients in mind, we've crafted a personal and joyful experience that goes beyond hiring someone to hold a camera and take a few photos. Instead, we are here for you every step of the way - guiding you, cheering you on, laughing with you and making sure you feel your very best! Here are some questions we think you should ask any photographer before you hire them.. plus our answers!!!
Most photographers have a particular shooting and editing style, whether it's light and airy, dramatic and heavy on lighting effects, or moody and dark, you'll be able to notice consistency in their portfolio that will indicate what the final images will be. Whichever style you love, be sure to your photographer is able to deliver the style you want and always dreamed of. If you like a light and airy style, don't book a moody photographer and vice versa. We suggest looking through the photographer's portfolio and don't sacrifice your preferred style for price! These are your FOREVER memories.
This may sound like a silly question, but depending on the photography company, you may not always have the owners or lead photographers photographing you session or event. It's important to ask this so you're not surprised on the day with a photographer you don't know. We photograph all of our own sessions and events. We pride ourselves in building relationships with our clients; being there for them every step of the way and communicating expectations throughout every touchpoint.
This question can vary a ton! Photographers all have their timelines and you can't rush art!, you know what I mean? We always provide our couples with 24 hour Sneak Peeks and deliver your gallery between 4-8 weeks after your session. However, we know just how excited you are to see them and how excited we are to share them, so we try our best to get the images to you ASAP!
As technology advances, it seems as though many photographers opt to only provide digitals -- and many couples don't think about this until it's too late! If your photographer doesn't offer albums, it will be hard to find one that will be able to offer just the product without having been the one who took the images. Be sure to ask if they provide prints + albums; these are heirlooms you'll want to have and share for generations. We provide prints, albums, and other products to give life and make your story tangible. We curate each product with love, care, and passion.
