Legacy
by alayna parker
photography
I am excited that you're interested in choosing me to document your family! I believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.
I believe in images that are itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come. Images that will be seen by generations after yours. Images that will create your Legacy.

After photographing hundreds of portrait sessions over the past 14 years, I've found that I'm not the perfect fit for every family. That’s why this process begins with a conversation. I want to hear everything—how you met, funny first date stories, what happened when you told your parents you were expecting.
We’ll get to know one another, talk about what you're wanting in a photo session, and answer any questions you might have.
let's connect

Once your date is reserved, we'll connect to start chatting about possible locations for your session. I usually recommend choosing one location, and if it's a place you haven't been before, it might be helpful to visit during the time our session will take place. That way you have an idea of the light, crowds, closing time, etc!
If you're not sure about where you would like to take your photos but you have a general idea of the look you would like, just let me know and I would be happy to recommend a few locations based on your aesthetic!

If picking out outfits for photos takes you back to high school when you literally tried on everything in your closet and piled it on your bed but still felt like you had nothing to wear, you're in luck.
I put together an extensive outfit suggestion guide with tips for every member of the family (even the dogchild!)

On the days leading up to your session, we'll connect to make sure the weather still looks like it's going to cooperate. If we need to, we'll talk about options for rescheduling or changing locations.
The Session

All images from portraits sessions are typically delivered within about two weeks of the shoot date via an online gallery. This gallery will allow you to share your favorites with family, order prints, and even download images to share on social media.
Your gallery will remain active for six months.

Your booking fee covers my time and talent for creating your session. Whether that's 30 minutes or 3 hours. I don't restrict the creative process to the clock. Patience and fun until we have what we need for a beautiful gallery!
THE legacy collection
book a legacy session
I'm a big believer that images aren’t meant to solely exist in a digital space. One day most likely, Instagram will be gone, your phone will be replaced, and images that you can physically hold in your hand will be the best way to remember those precious moments we captured.
Think about this fact: thirty years ago, if I had delivered you digital images, they would have been on a floppy disk. With the fast updates to technology, you would have no way to access those images today. Even the online galleries we deliver will eventually fade away.
One of the best ways to make your memories last is by ordering a Legacy book. These high quality professionally designed books come in a variety of linen & leather colors. These aren’t the same albums your parents' photos came in. They’re modern, lay perfectly flat, and look incredible on a coffee table.
THE PERFECT WAY TO REMEMBER THIS SEASON OF LIFE
handcrafted books
After your gallery is delivered, I'll work with you to design a book that will become a Legacy for your family.
Books must be prepaid before design begins and typically take between 4 to 6 weeks to complete (including revisions).
With the exception of printing errors, all books are non-returnable. Books may be ordered anytime up to one year after the session date. The holiday deadline for beginning an order is November 1st.
4x4: $120+
8x8: $150+
10x10: $200+
Additional pages can be added on for an additional cost.
PRICING
Legacy books are available a la carte.

Perfect for those who value legacy. These Legacy Books are a great way to house a large number of images in a beautiful way. Leave them on display as coffee table books or protect them with a legacy box.

Framed and matted prints are the perfect way to fill your walls with memories.
Prints & Wall Art
Easy to hang and easy to change out. Canvases are one of my favorite ways to decorate a space. They also work great on little easels placed around the home.
Canvases
There's no doubt about it, prints last for generations. I bet your family still has images from your grandparents (maybe even great grandparents.) And that was likely from a time period when cameras were expensive and prints were harder to come by.
Prints are the easiest way to update the walls of your home and can be an affordable way to preserve these precious moments,

fine art pieces
Yes, you are welcome to print the images on your own. If you do, I recommend making sure that the printer does not color correct the images (many automatically do this.) I also recommend looking for a high quality printer. While 10 cent prints sound great in theory, the cheaper printing quality often won’t do your images justice. Paper quality, color correction and a handful of other factors play a big role in the way your prints turn out. This is one of the reasons why I LOVE offering prints to my clients!
A:
Can I print the images on my own?
q:
While I don’t guarantee an exact number of images, I'll make sure to capture your family thoroughly. Most families should expect to receive at least 25 edited images following their session.
A:
How many images will I receive?
q:
I guarantee that your images will remain in an online gallery for six months. Once your gallery has been delivered, I highly recommend downloading all high resolution images to several devices. Consider investing in a portable, waterproof external hard drive.
A:
How long will I have access to the images?
q:
While turnaround times can vary by season, I aim to deliver all images within two weeks of your session.
A:
When will I receive my images?

questions
You are absolutely welcome to share images on social media. To ensure that my work is properly represented, I ask that you refrain from any edits. I also appreciate image credits and tags as they help me to continue to grow as a business!
A:
Can I share the images on social media?
q:
According to federal law, the creators of images always own the rights to the images. However I'll give you a release to use, print, and share your images. The only thing you won’t be able to do is sell your image as a stock photo. I won’t do this either without your written permission.
A:
Do I own the rights to the images?
q:
For mini sessions, you can plan about 45 minutes. For full and luxe sessions, you can plan for 90 minutes. While we likely don’t need to be shooting this entire time, this does give us the flexibility for location changes, rowdy kids, and time to relax.
A:
How long should we plan for the session to take?
q:
I do light retouching on all of my images. This means that if there are any glaring objects that should be removed (such as a bump from the tumble your toddler took that morning,) I'll remove it. Larger edits (such as removing tan lines,) require more time and would require me to add additional editing hours to your collection.
A:
Will you retouch our images?
