What is a boutique photography studio? | Professional Photographer Jacksonville NC
When you think of a boutique, you may think of a small clothing store or a jewelry shop that offers specialty products and personalized customer service. You may not get the same customer service or quality product if you go to a big box retailer or department store, which is why some people choose to go tothese specialty or boutique shops.
Did you know the boutique or “full service” model is applied here at Pleasantly Captured Photography? Choosing this model for my business was a big choice, but to me it was the only choice. The decision to have portraits done is not only an investment of your money, but your time, so it is important to carefully craft an experience and end product to capture those memories.
So how does being a boutique photography studio benefit YOU, the client?
The boutique model is incorporated into the Pleasantly Captured Photography experience. From the moment of the first inquiry, it is important that I learn as much as I can about you. I want to know about your personal likes and dislikes so I can be sure the session is crafted to fit your style. Most importantly, getting to know you and your family. We will speak on the phone or meet in person, which will also give you a feel for my personality. The portrait experience is an intimate one so I believe finding a photographer who is personable and who you feel comfortable with is important! You wouldn’t do business with somebody you don’t know well, or someone who doesn’t “click” with you.
At Pleasantly Captured Photography, I strive to get the best possible photos from each and every session. During our chats, we will craft your ideal session by picking props and setups that will match your child’s nursery or home decor, incorporate family heirlooms or trinkets and finally, choosing locations that match your family’s personality. Being a boutique photography studio, I maintain a limited schedule to be sure that your memories are given the personal attention you deserve. You don’t have to worry about being rushed through your session and you can be assured I will not retouch your images hastily because I am backed up with multiple sessions. By choosing to take on a limited amount of clients and/or projects, I give you the highest quality service and product the first time!
Don’t leave your memories on a disc or usb, print them to cherish those memories! Pleasantly Captured Photography, Jacksonville NC
The Session Premiere is another great example of this model. It was often defeating to me when clients would admit to their disc being left in a drawer or even in some instances loosing their disc during a move or while “spring cleaning”. Your memories are entirely too important to sit on a disc. I believe that your memories deserve to be printed which is why I offer heirloom quality tangible art; quality art that will last. By meeting once again after your session, I can help to design your art to fit you and your home on a personal level. It gives me the opportunity to offer my expert advice and provide samples for you to see and touch. I personally dislike ordering online because I am a visual and physical person. If I cannot feel or touch the product, I often have anxiety about buying that product. I revamped the site and did away with ordering through online galleries to prevent the anxiety and frustration that can result from being unsure. It also prevents miscommunications, which can take a pleasant experience and quickly turn it into an unpleasant one. Once your products come to me, I inspect them
to be sure your products are up to quality standards and package for you and your family to enjoy!
Offering a personalized experience is something I strive to do with each and every client. Memories are happening now. Let me help you preserve them for years to come with your very own session!
