PART 1
Preperation Information
Please refer to our conversations or your invoice for confirmation of your shoot time and location. If your session is on location somewhere then i will have sent you a drop pin (if it wasn't a well known location), although in a lot of situations location is still to be determined. If your session is here at the ranch the address is 5701 North Old Stage rd Mt Shasta Ca 96067. Its a little yellow mailbox on the west side of the road and a 300 foot dirt/gravel drive, please stay parked on the gravel not off on the dirt. It is a functional loop driveway for those of you hauling big trailers. You are welcome to pet the goats through the fence but please do not pet the horses, some of them are naughty and think fingers are treats :)
Remember to send me pictures of your outfits or inspiration photos from my galleries. I love to get a feel for what you want and coordinate colors with locations.
If you have a session with your horse, please come with your them bathed, groomed and ready to be photographed. Do not worry about small imperfections, bite marks or scars. I will touch up all of those during the editing process per your preferences (within reason :)
PART 2
The process and whats included with your sitting fee
A general outline is... I will deliver images within 1 week of our shoot day, then I have alloted 1 week for you to select favorites, then again i have 1 week to edit the favorites and back to you for one final week to spend your print credit and take advantage of digital file discounts offered.
After we shoot and I have done the first round of editing I will upload all of your images to a private online gallery. You can access the photos 2 different ways and instructions for that are below. Once delivered you have the option to choose favorites for me to do a 5 star edit on. This is where i do a deep dive and remove hairs across the face, remove acne (if desired), remove distracting objects and any other (within reason) special requests. If some of those requests require a significant time commitment to perform over whats included with your sitting then i will communicate additional pricing options. I can do anything you want as long as your still recognizable as you :)
I deliver alot of pictures and cull on the lighter side for three reasons... I like my clients to have options for "their" preference of facial expressions and posing. I need to leave extra photos in the group shots for families so I have the option and material to do face transplants if needed. So if you see a picture you love but not everyone is smiling or has eyes open then keep that in mind and let me know. This is a wonderful option with kids to guarantee you get everyone smiling. And thirdly because "more is better is hard wired into my psyce for reasons I dont understand.
Your session includes prints of the same value as the sitting fee you paid. For example if you paid $595 for a session then you will receive $595 in prints. Sample print and file pricing is listed below (file=digital image). Print credits are for loose prints only. Wall Art like ready to hang canvas and Framed prints are dramatically discounted already for Shasta Photography clients so if you want to apply your print credit to that then it is at 25% of its original amount and a video call can be scheduled so i can show you in real time all the wall art options like matting and colors of mats, canvas depths and styles of wrap options and metal finish and there is alot and i enjoy helping you navigate all of that so its easy and enjoyable
. Your prints come in the form of a code that you use in your gallery at checkout (no minimum order) and are mailed directly to you. Half and full day rates do not include prints.
High resolution digital downloads with copyright & print release are sold separately with significant price breaks for larger quantities, see pricing info below. Doing your own printing comes in very handy for graduation announcements, holiday cards and gifting 8x10s to family. If you want very large prints or wall art then those can only be ordered through me. Digitals are not built into the shopping cart so it is best to let me know which ones you want and i will invoice seperately and then put them in a seperate gallery for download. Unless you do the entire gallery deal then I open up all images for download in current galleries.
Images will be initially be delivered via a private link gallery with copyright protection watermark overlay as seen in examples here... All downloads and print orders include only a very small makers mark of KA in the bottom corner. Please for the love of my sanity download images properly and do not screenshot because it just makes them look horrible and I cry when i go to sleep. Please dont crop images either, if you need one square just let me know and i am happy to create the right size for you.

PART 4
Accessing Photos and Favorites
The Process- after first gallery link has been delivered:
Accessing Photos There are three ways to access photos. The first is to use a desktop pc and follow the link in the welcome email to view photos, just remember to create an account first (found in the website menu so that your favorites will be saved and tracked). The second way is through client access in the menu of the site. Your client access is the photographed subjects first initial followed by last name and the 4 digit year the photos were taken (all one word no spaces, all lower case). The third and best way is to download the app (also linked in the email for iOS or Android) and connect the gallery to it (info below). Once you download the app then go back to the email and click on photo link again and select open with default browser and it will ask you if you want to open the photos with the app, select yes. You will also be prompted to create an account for my site on the app when you start trying to favorite photos.
When choosing favorites I suggest doing an initial generous run through and then (if on pc) at the top of the screen select the favorites drop down, or if using the app then favorites are located in the menu... to sort through and kick some out if you have too many. When you are done choosing favorites then select "share with photographer", typically up to 15-20 images for every hour we shoot but this isnt a hard rule. (i accept sharing favorites only through the software provided). Unless its only a couple then screenshots with image name showing in it is ok. If you want or need any assistance at all please reach out and i would be happy to help.
Spend your print credit! Once you choose favorites i will re-upload the final 5 star edits into your gallery to replace originals as well as into a second gallery called 5 star images and then I will create your print credit code. Your print credit code is the same as your client access and is your first initial followed by your last name and the four digit year we took photos, all lower case and no spaces. All of the loose print size options listed above can be found in the gallery shopping cart which is where you will place your order. Wall art like framed, canvas or metal is not offered in the shopping cart and can be ordered by video call appointment so that i can show you all the size, color and mounting options. There is no minimum order so if you just want to receive your included prints and nothing more that is ok. After filling up your shopping cart just punch in your credit discount code when it asks for it. You will have to put in your credit card for the $4-6 shipping. There is no minimum order requirement. Print credits are valid for one week from 5 star gallery delivery and Images stay accessible for 2 weeks, after that it is a $50 fee to re access a gallery from archives.
Please reach out to me if you have any questions or need any help. Thankyou, KA
