The Process

• The Phone Call

  This is just the initial getting to know each other stage. To find out what your needs are and whether I will be the right photographer for you.

• Book Your Session

  I will send you a contract and invoice. Both being signed and paid will lock your session date.

• Initial Consultation

  Once you have booked your session we will have a consultation. This will take place either in person, on a Zoom call, or on the phone. We'll discuss the look and type of the images you'd like to capture and how you plan on using your images. We'll discuss wardrobe, styling, what looks great on camera and how you should dress and prepare for your session.

• Mood Boards (Pinterest Boards)

  Within a day or two of our consultation, I will spend time researching and collecting ideas and create a “board” on Pinterest specifically dedicated to your session. This could simply be some samples of background options to a collage of images that would detail the colors, the clothing, and the looks we want to capture during your session.

• The Session

  A studio session will involve meeting at 3224 Locust St. #305 at the appointed time with your wardrobe choices pressed and ready to go (a steamer is available for last-minute touch-ups). If you are having hair and makeup done by one of my recommended artists, they will meet us at the studio and remain for the session.

  If we are doing a session on location, we will confirm logistics ahead of time.

• The Image Review

  Normally done during the shoot, this is where we will go over the images together and choose the best ones for your intended use. I will help you narrow down your selection to make sure you have a good range of images that reflect your brand or business.

• Color Correction / Facial Retouching

  All images receive color correction and facial retouching if applicable. The aim is to present the best visual version of yourself.

• Download Your Files

  Once the images have been color corrected or retouched, I will send you a link to the digital files via email for you to download.

Clothing

Feel free to bring a range of different options for clothing. The #1 rule for us is that you have to love it! If you don’t feel comfortable in it, you most likely won’t shoot well while wearing it. We suggest you bring a range of different cuts, colors, and necklines. For our corporate clients, we like the men to have a variety of jacket/shirt/tie combos and for the women some options of blouse/dress/jacket combos. Keeping jewelry to a minimum is key, studs or small earrings work and simple necklaces, anything hanging or chunky will usually draw too much attention to itself. If you wear glasses and have multiple pairs, then we'd appreciate you bringing them along to ascertain their glare factor. If you have any doubts about whether something will work or not just bring it. Layers are fantastic for the actors and no need to be seasonal; everything from t-shirts, tank tops to sweaters and light jackets can work. Have some fun with this, if you feel your wardrobe is missing something then go shopping and we’ll keep the tags on it in case you’d like to return the items after the shoot. We have a steamer in the studio, so we'll be able to easily sort out any wrinkling for you. 

Hair and Makeup

Women's makeup:

Makeup for the session is not required but highly recommended for all women.

The makeup is applied specifically for the lighting we use and we usually start very naturally to give you a very clean simple look. We do touch-ups and will add subtle changes to the makeup as the shoot progresses. If you’d like to start a little heavier on the makeup we are happy to do that as well, just let us know.

Women's hair:

We ask that everyone come in with their hair ready the way you would like to present yourself. We want your hair in your pictures to be as close as possible to the way you look on a fantastic hair day and can't have you showing up to the studio as if you just rolled out of bed. Of course, our makeup artist is there to make sure it’s “shoot” ready and we will discuss what you’d like to do with it and make a game plan at the beginning of the shoot.

Men:

We don't normally recommend makeup on men, but our makeup artist can provide light grooming for skin and hair on the shoot for $100 if you like. Our professional retouching usually covers any issues that may arise skin-wise, so there are no worries in that dept.

Facial Hair:

If you’d like to shoot with facial hair we’d be happy for you to come in with whatever level of growth you’d like and can shave or trim it down once we’ve gotten the scruff covered. Bring whatever grooming products you’ll need with you to get it done. 

Scheduling and Payments

I’m normally available for shooting Monday through Saturday and I usually schedule 1-2 sessions a day starting at 8 am. I will tweak the times depending upon the schedule each particular day, so I ask people to be a bit flexible. I do ask that you don't have anything else scheduled close to the end of your session in case we feel we need a little more time with you.

The session must be paid in full prior to booking. We accept cash, checks, as well as Paypal and Venmo. 

I work with freelance makeup artists and you will be paying them directly, they require cash on the day of the shoot.

All deposit checks can be made payable to: Antonio T. Harris Photography and mailed to my studio at 3224 Locust St. #305, St. Louis, Mo. 63103

I like my clients to be 100% informed, so thanks for taking the time to read all this pertinent information. If you still have questions feel free to ask. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks!
