Our Custom Set Design Process
Custom Set Design Session Planning Appointment
At your Session Planning Appointment, we will sit down with you and get to know you and your baby. This is where we will brainstorm ideas together and create a plan. We will take all of your ideas and create a set based on your personal likes and your dislikes. Things like a favorite sports team or your favorite colors. Our photographers can even create a design that coordinates with your baby’s birthday party theme!
The Session Planning Meeting is the client’s opportunity to sit down and discuss with one of our professional photographers any ideas you may have for your portrait session. We then combine all the ideas to create a complete vision and a plan for their portrait session. Check out our Pinterest account. It has tons of custom set design inspiration. You can create a board on your personal Pinterest account and pin your favorite images to share with us at your planning appointment.
Also, during your planning session, we discuss any elements that may be specifically important for the photographers to be aware of. For example, if your child has a specific type of smile, we can be sure to capture it during the portrait session.
Another essential part of the planning session is discussing the client’s visions in regard to showcasing their finished portraits. Whether it be a specific portrait size used in a particular place in their home or creating albums or gifts specifically for family and friends. Discussing a client’s goals in advance for their portrait session allows us to fulfill their expectations. This allows for a fantastic portrait session!
We also will discuss wardrobe and styling choices for each Custom Set Design the client chooses.
The Pod Photography studio also has an in-studio portrait designer and a portrait retoucher. We also specialize in creating custom wall art and portrait albums.
Building Your Custom Set Design
After we have your design details perfect, the professional photographers begin the creative process. From purchasing props to hand-creating certain aspects of your set, we take care of every detail for you!
