Love You Forever Mini Session Prep Guide & Contract

Below are a few things to help you prepare for your upcoming Love You Forever mini-session. Please read this page in its entirety. 
 
Your client contract, attached below, must be completed before you arrive for your session.

  • Your remaining balance is $20. Cash, credit/debit cards, and PayPal are accepted. Payment is due on the day of the session.

  • Sessions are booked back to back. Please arrive promptly at your scheduled session time. One late appointment can throw off the whole day's schedule. No extra session time will be given if you are late for your session.

  • Please message me when you have arrived for your session. If you are early for your session, please remain in your vehicle until the clients before you have left the studio.

    You can also park at the First Apostolic Church's parking lot and wait until your turn. When it is your turn, please park in the studio's lower driveway.

  • If you have little ones, please try to let them nap before their session.

     

Mini Sessions CANNOT Be Rescheduled.

What Should My Child & I Wear For This Session?

Please wear clothing that will match the backdrop and set, as seen above. 

A solid t-shirt and diaper are PERFECT for this session.

You could also use a solid shirt and overalls. 



 

When Will I Receive My Gallery of 5 Images?

I hand-edit every single image for each session.
 
All Love You Forever galleries will be emailed 14-21 days after the session date. Please do not message for an estimated ETA, as this will slow editing & processing time down.

If you do not see your gallery AFTER the 21st day,  please check your spam folder first, and then message SHP for help. 

Please do not print Shonda Hope Photography's watermarked images.

Please complete your client contract, below.
