There is no requirement for an in-person meet and greet or phone call. You have full access to all pricing information, can sign the portrait contract online, and pay the session retainer online as well.

If you’d like to put a face to a name ahead of time and meet up, I can do that too! The studio is available for pre-session tours, viewing studio wardrobe, or choosing newborn session props and colors.

You’ve seen my work and sent over a contact message that you want my work for your forever memories? Awesome! I am SO EXCITED!!

Expect a reply from me within 48 business hours. I will share session and investment information to be sure all decision makers have what they need to complete booking in good faith.

Then, we talk about due dates, or session dates. After that, I will email you a link to the portrait contract which you fill out online. The last thing to secure booking is payment of the session retainer.

A $250 retainer deposit per session and signed photography contract is required to retain Brea Bursch’s services and secure your session date, with the remainder of the balance due, if any,  by the day of the session.

This retainer is non-refundable and will be credited towards the session type(s) you choose. After I receive your contract back, I will email over an invoice.

Fun stuff next! Every client receives a pre-session consultation by email or in person at my Everett studio, which includes discussion on location, wardrobe, styling, and much more. This is my opportunity to learn what makes your family different from all the others and really dial in what kinds of images you’re longing for.

I also clearly share what to expect the day of your session and offer up some tricks for success I’ve learned over the years. This is also the time to voice any concerns or special needs I can accommodate. Communication is key!

Spoiler alert – IT IS FUN. Sessions are as relaxed and stress-free as possible. I completely understand that babies need cuddling, toddlers need the freedom to explore, kids need a chance to warm up, and tweens/teens need to check their hair ‘just one more time‘.

I am unfazed by meltdowns, accidents and temper tantrums and can completely go with the flow. Not only do we make sure to get the traditional posed, smiling pictures but I also aim to capture true family moments interacting with each other and just being yourselves.

You can expect a sneak peek of your images via Facebook or Instagram within one week of your session. I do my best to friend or follow my clients so I can give you immediate notice when your images post. Feel free to friend request or follow me if I haven’t found you: Brea on Facebook, Brea on Instagram. The sneak peek is a small handful of my personal favorites and I hope you love them as much as I do! 

Unless otherwise agreed, your portrait session purchase includes all the retouched and perfected digital images. There is no ordering or proofing galleries – you get them all, no hard decisions have to be made! I will remit your digital order to the email address on your portrait contract within 4 weeks of the session.
