LightHearted Photography Professional Lifestyle Photography in Hampton Roads, Virginia Stephanie Himel-Nelson, owner and photographer LightHeartedPhoto@gmail.com 757.559.1808
Welcome to LightHearted Photography. I am a different kind of photographer. I like to take fun, candid shots capturing you and your family as you are. I take a mixture of traditional shots and those from a "different" perspective. I don't churn clients in and out of a studio; I like to take the time to get to know you and get the shots that capture your personality. I'm also the mother of two rambunctious little boys so I know every trick in the book to get the best shots possible out of little kids and the big kids. With the advent of digital photography, the possibilities for creativity are limitless. I hand craft every photo using the latest digital darkroom techniques, adding custom artistic processes to give your photo a special feel or texture. I shoot with the highest quality Nikon cameras and lenses. And yes, I always have a back up camera on hand to make sure your session goes smoothly. Great photos are an investment and I work hard to make sure that we get the best shots and the best results possible. A standard photo session is $200. That includes a 90 minute, on-location session for up to 5 people, my artistic time for processing the photos and a few freebies. Newborn sessions are $250 and usually take at least 2 hours. I come to your home and work around baby's schedule. The newborn package also includes 2 free additional sessions in the first year so you can capture the time that passes so quickly. (I generally recommend a session at 6 months and then again at 1 year.) I am frequently asked about digital photos. Every session includes at least 3 free web resolution photos for you to share with family and friends. CD's of high resolution images from your session are available for an additional fee. I highly recommend, however, that you use my lab for printing services and specialty products. While there are many photo sites that will allow you to print your images, not many have the high standards of professional photography labs. I also offer a number of creative products, such as stunning prints on canvas or other materials, that I must design and order for you through a professional lab. Please let me know if you are interested in one of these options. INVESTMENT and CREATIVE FEES You'll see all of your options when you book your appointment. If you have any questions before booking your appointment, please email or call me. To offer the very best photos and to avoid shortchanging my other clients, I only accept a limited number of weddings every year. If you don't see an appointment available on your big day, however, please contact me to see if I can rearrange my schedule. Thanks for stopping by. Steph BOOK APPOINTMENT ONLINE
