3 HELLO AND WELCOME.... Through photography, I have a new outlook on the world around us and just how beautiful our environment truly is. This has inspired me to capture the moments that many overlook or take for granted through our busy lives. Once we sit back and take in what has been given to us, we can t help but to appreciate the finer things in life. We must find the inner joy of what our eyes can see and what our heart can feel. This is what pushes me every day to become a better photographer and show the world what they are missing and to be able to see and capture the details. The difficulty in showing something that can only be dreamt but begs to be shown is what I believe a true photographer should live to create. There are few people that hold these talents and I have made this my goal to find in myself to become one. Session Booklet 3

4 ABOUT US About Cory Loomis Photography We are a small town business located in Bloomfield, Nebraska. I was brought up with strong work ethics and workmanship. Following ten years active duty in the US Navy submarine community, I attended the University of Guam where I graduated with a degree in Computer Science along with a minor in Arts with a focus in photography. After relocating back to my hometown, I launched my photography business. Upon joining the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) and Professional Photographers of Nebraska (PPofN), I have furthered my knowledge by declaring my candidacy as a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP). 4 coryloomisphotography.com

6 WHY COMMISSION ME...? I pride myself in capturing and uniquely stylizing precious images during your session. Truly, these moments fly by so quickly and your memory of them should be captured professionally. From time to time, I see posts on Facebook and forums from families asking Can anyone recommend a cheap photographer?, Why do they charge so much? or I can get 100 images on a disc for way less than that. Like any quality products or services out there, good photography is expensive because it is not easy to create. Bad photography is even more expensive. If you do not like your photos, you have wasted your time, money and memories and if there is a second chance, some families will end up investing more money for a better photographer due to dissatisfaction from their first experience. When you commission a professional photographer, you are paying for their expertise, the utmost importance they hold with regards to the safety of your family and newborn baby during sessions, their talent, time and also the fact that they will capture your images perfectly, the first time. Education & Hands on Experience : I have and will continue to invest to attend workshops with award winning photographers that specialize in the art of photography. I make a commitment to every client that I will produce the best possible photographs for them that I can and am always striving for perfection in my art. Perfection and quality is worth more to me than quantity. Safety and client confidence in me is just as important. What also differentiates an amateur photographer from a professional is consistency. Ensure that the work you view is consistently great. You do get what you pay for. Do you really want images with only 2-3 decent ones in the set or brilliant images worth of printing for your walls? What will you do with a disc of images? Each image you see in my galleries has taken me time to create, photograph and professionally edit. 6 coryloomisphotography.com

8 Behind the scenes... Time : Besides the time working at the session, there is an additional minimum of 6+ hours of behind-the-scenes work that the client does not see and here is a general breakdown of my time per session : 2-3 hours Setting up the studio, finding a location, travel time, preparing props, planning workflow and shots minutes Session time 2-16 hours Upload images from the session. Select and edit photos (color correction, toning and retouching). If your gallery includes technically difficult shots, then extra Photoshop steps are needed. 1-3 hours Set up the online gallery. Process retouching requests and back and forth to clients with selections. 1-2 hours Collecting and checking quality of prints, packaging and posting. Time spent for me to provide a photography package can range from hours. Because professional photography is time and labor intensive, the sooner you can schedule the better. While I do accept short notice shoots, the extra time is preferred. 8 coryloomisphotography.com

24 A LA CARTE KEEPSAKES I can also arrange professionally printed products. I can recommend products to suit your needs that are of the highest quality and with the longest guarantees and organize them for you to be delivered to your door. Printing products through budget companies will mean that your prints will not match that of a professional printing lab and potentially will not last for long. I regularly calibrate my monitor with professional labs to ensure my printing with them is to professional standards. Your prints will not represent my work unless professional printing is arranged. Inks and papers sometimes only last for a few years due to the chemicals found in cheaper inks and materials at budget printing places. Includes : Fine art prints on museum grade fine art paper including framing from $125 Lay flat books with minimum of 10 double sided pages, starting at $125. Canvases starting at $61. Acrylic mounted prints starting at $71. Graduation invitations and Christmas cards Posters Note 1. Delivery via courier at an additional charge depending on area. 2. Please contact me for specific pricing and requirements. 24 coryloomisphotography.com

26 FAQ s: When to book a session? It is never too early to book your photo session so please book while for your occasion to guarantee a session. Because I also offer several types of photography sessions, I have bookings sometimes up to 1 year in advance. If you have your date and you like my style of photography, book it in as early as possible. Time to complete the work: My current time is around a week from the session date to finish editing and provide an online gallery for you to view. Once the secure gallery is online via this website, you may choose your images for your package. I may release files at my discretion earlier if the balance of the work is complete and so long as it is understood that those files are part of the final selection. Payment Payment is due by the day of the photography session unless otherwise agreed in writing prior to the session. I ask for a 50% down payment to book sessions with the remainder of the balance due on the day by the shoot. You are more than welcome to make a full payment at the time of booking. Payment in installments: I am happy to accept smaller payments in the lead up to your photographic work being finalized. I will not release work until payment is completed. Can I purchase all of the images taken? I do not sell or provide RAW files or unedited images as part of my services. One of the reason clients love my work is due to my photographic skill, artistic vision, use of fabrics and textures and editing style. I spend between 5-6 hours editing each session which includes meticulous attention to detail so as not to over edit (correcting skin tones/colors and enhancing lighting). During this time I also convert RAW digital files to high resolution, printable formats and decipher the image file size and document size. Editing enhances and finalizes each photograph as a piece of art. No images displayed on either my website or Facebook page are unedited. Where to Print: All of my printed products are printed on the highest quality of professional paper at a professional printing lab. The computer and software I edit with is calibrated to print exactly as it should at this lab. Taking your print-released images to other printing companies may not produce the work as it should be printed. Remember, not all print locations are created equal. What To Expect: Initial Contact A contact may be made through a variety of mediums such as a phone contact, , messenger or face to face. This is to familiarize the client with quite honestly, this worksheet. You may have questions in regards to pricing, what is included, how a shoot works or just general inquiry questions. A Package For You Not everyone has the exact same requirements. Some families will want just a few prints and other want loads of prints and wall art such as canvas prints. We have some basic plans that include everything. We can discuss adding prints or other items that best meet your needs. 26 coryloomisphotography.com

27 Schedule Date and Location Considering you decide to move forward with a session, we can nail down a date. Scheduling early is better than waiting until a few days before as some times of year get rather busy. Ideally, We prefer to shoot within the hour before sunset (golden hour) or shoot near sunrise (blue hour) as the best light is during these times of the day, weather dependent of course. If you have a location, great. If you do not have a site in mind, we can find a site that suits you. The location could be urban, countryside, barns or even your backyard. We would like to survey a location of your choice prior to shooting to ensure that there are options. Day of Session Its finally time but do not stress! There is no need to stress. The shoot is supposed to be relaxing and a fun experience. Don t worry about how to stand and what to do, we will show you and explain where we want you. Just enjoy the experience and relax, it will yield natural and honest photos. Wear an outfit that makes you feel good, fits well and is timeless; casual-dressy and most of all comfortable. Neutral tones photograph well in the outdoors; tans and greens For family sessions, make sure your colors complement each other and avoid busy patterns and fluorescence. Arrive minutes before session start time We would like to be able to start the session on schedule as time is precious when shooting during the golden hour. There is a small window of ideal lighting and we want to make sure we can make the most out of it. Initial Photo Selection - 1 WEEK FOLLOWING SESSION (or less) Following your shoot, we will process through your photos and choose the best shots. We will be looking for photos that are sharp, there are no distractions and ensure that everyone s eyes are open. Once selected, minor edits will be done to correct light, color and properly cropped. These photos will then be uploaded to our website and a link with a password will be provided to you for review. The above process can be completed in a one on one session either in studio or at your home. We can go through photos and discuss options for each. This gives us the opportunity to discuss other print mediums such as acrylic, large format or canvas. Client Selection - 2 WEEK FOLLOWING SESSION (or less) You will browse the photos and select your favorites. We will narrow your selection down to the number of proofs in your package. Final Edits We will conduct final edits on the photo you selected. This will include removing stray hairs, minor skin retouching, removing objects from the background and final post processing. Proofs printed and delivered Once proofs are selected, you will be given printed photographs that you can keep. These photos will give you an idea of how your photos will look on paper to help you select your final package prints. Delivery of Prints - 10 DAYS AFTER (or less) You will be invited in studio to pick up your completed prints and view each print to ensure they are up to expectations. Session Booklet 27
