Information:
How do I reserve and pay for a spot? Sessions are $300 plus tax. Fill out the form to tell me what time and date you would like. I will communicate with you first via text and email and then give you a call, if you request a call. I will email you an invoice to pay to reserve your spot with a debit or credit card. I will also email you a contract to sign. You will be booked for your session time once you pay your nonrefundable retainer.
How does it work? How many photos do I receive? Show up at the Four Silos Farm and Olive Grove located at 14822 South Gilbert Road, Gilbert, AZ 85295 about ten minutes before your session. You can park on the street EAST GALVESTON STREET. Please make sure not to confuse this address with the Four Silos Brewery Restaurant in Gilbert. It’s not the same place/location! Once you arrive, we will take some family photos, and then the kids get to hunt for eggs with baskets and eggs that I provide. I chase them around and get cute photos of them hunting for eggs. Then I edit the best photos and send them to you in an online gallery. There will be approximately 50 photos in your online gallery. A note about my style: I try to get a few pics of everyone looking at the camera, but mostly I try to capture fun and the relationship between family members, so we play a few quick games and I snap photos, catching everyone’s smiles, looking at each other and playing around.
How long are these photo shoots? Are they mini sessions? I’ve spaced these photo sessions one hour apart, with the idea that I would give each family at least 30 minutes of time. Sometimes I have kids help me hide eggs for the next set of kids that are coming, if parents are OK with that.
What happens if I have to cancel? What if I or one of my family gets sick? What if I can’t drive there that day? I ask that you pay the remaining balance on the day of the photo shoot, in case you have to cancel. The $50 retainer is nonrefundable as it will already have been spent on the permit for the location and baskets and eggs.
What if it rains? Rain can make for beautiful photos and it usually does not rain for that long in Arizona, so if there is the chance of rain, I still go ahead with photo shoots. However, if the forecast calls for very heavy rain, I will be in contact about canceling or rescheduling.
What should we wear? Feel free to wear your fanciest clothes or casual clothes. Spring colors are fun, but it’s perfectly fine to stick to whatever style you love! High heels may be difficult on the grass (though I know some people can manage! I’m not one of them!)
Do you provide the baskets and eggs? Yes, I provide the baskets and eggs. I have had families bring their own baskets that matched their kids’ outfits, so feel free to bring baskets if you like!
What should I know about a photo shoot an Easter egg hunt and portrait session at Four Silos Farm and Olive Grove?
I’m excited to meet you and take photos for you! I have had so much fun taking these types of photos in the past and have loved how the photos have turned out. I can’t wait to take photos for you!
After you get to Four Silos Farm and Olive Grove located at 14822 South Gilbert Road, Gilbert, AZ 85295, you park in the neighborhood on Galveston Street. At your appointment time, text me at 490-326-8385 and I will come to you.
Be prepared for tall grass at the Four Silos Farm and Olive Grove that you will walk through/kids will run around in. Since we are outdoors, be prepared for sun, heat, insects, dirt, just all the stuff of nature and the outdoors!
Since we will be outside in nature, there is the possibility of encountering plants, insects, and animals. Last year I saw a few bees. Plan accordingly if you have any allergies, etc.
If you have any questions or concerns about anything, please email me at brenda.eden@gmail.com or text me at 480-326-8385.
