The Preconsultation and Virtual Proofing

One of the most important services we provide to our clients is the Preconsultation.  The reasons are simple.  Our specialty is creating portraiture to decorate your home. Now for you that may be a traditionally framed canvas print hanging over your fireplace, a group of gallery wraps that hang together in your rec room, or a wonderfully adorable wall grouping framed in custom-color frames that coordinate perfectly with your new baby nursery!  We understand that you are making an investment in the heirloom quality portraiture you are purchasing for your home, and we want to help you make the best selections possible. During your Viewing/Ordering session, we recommend various options for you to display your favorite images, but it is the Preconsult that helps us do so. It gives us all of the information we need to make the very best recommendations for size, color, style, and arrangement of your purchased portraits.

What is a Preconsult? First of all, it is a completely optional service but is included with your paid session fee, and we rarely have a client that doesn't take advantage of this option. We will schedule an appointment with you at your home a couple of weeks before your portrait session. We will photograph and measure any walls that you may be interested in decorating with portraiture, and maybe a few that you didn't think you were! We will take note of your decor and discuss with you any products that you are interested in hearing more about. Now when we shoot your portrait session, we will know what types of images we need to shoot for to create the best products for you.

If it's not convenient for you to schedule the Preconsult appointment at your home, we are happy to discuss your goals for the session via telephone. You can snap a few shots of your walls, take a couple of required measurements, and email them over to us. No problem!

A couple of weeks later your Portrait Session will take place, and a couple more to follow we will schedule your Viewing/Ordering Session at my home viewing area in Collierville. There, we will project all of your final images on the big-screen and help you narrow it down to your favorites. In addition, we will show you suggested groupings on YOUR WALLS! The images we captured at your home will be projected with your session images "hanging" in various sizes and arrangements.  We call this a "virtual proofing."  This is a huge help when trying to decide what images and sizes you need to fit your space perfectly. It takes all of the guess work out of it and enables you to confidently select the proper products to invest in.
