CHILDREN
Children are our legacy. Let me capture the wonder and joy of their milestones, simply and beautifully, with printed portraits that will last for generations to come.
SENIORS
And now they're off! All your hard parenting work has paid off and you have raised an amazing human. Let's showcase their talents in their custom Senior Session. All those hours you spent driving to the ballfields, or the bandhall. Let's encorporate those into their Senior Session. This Session is all about their interests. Whether it be dance, reading, music, video games or something creative, lets talk and create a one of kind experience that celebrates YOUR senior! The sky is the limit and we can incorporate these images into gorgeous albums that will be passed down for generations and graduation cards that will surely WOW the relatives.
FAMILY
Family portraits are an investment in your family's legacy and history. They can help capture the love and essence of your family and create lasting memories for generations to come. Whether you like in studio or on location settings, Courtney is here to help guide you through the entire process beginning to end from wardrobe selection to finalizing printed products.
PROFESSIONALS
Your professional portrait is often the first thing that people see when they meet you and your business online. It can make a lasting impression on them and influence their perception of you and how you do business. A current, high-quality portrait conveys a higher level of professionalism and can be a powerful tool in building your personal brand whatever that may be. It can help you stand out from your competitors by showing off your personality and create a consistent image across all of your marketing materials.
PRINT. IT'S WORTH IT!
We always encourage clients to invest in printed art, as it is what’s valued as the end result of your session, and the reason you commissioned us. Did you know that more photographs have been taken in the last 8 years than ever, in history? But only 1 in 100,00 of those photographs are actually printed. Digital media only lasts as long as there is a device around to read it. Print your images, its worth it. Those prints will last a lifetime while providing a daily reminder of a cherished memory that will only increase in value over time.
Are you just not sure where to hang a wall portrait or how to select a grouping? No problem! That is where we are here to help. We have specialized software that allows us to upload images of your walls and show you at your ordering session exactly what an image or grouping will look like with your own decor. This includes being able to incorporate currently owned artwork and treasures. Do you have a disk of images you purchased and never printed? Let Courtney design a custom wall display that tells your family's story and preserves those memories.
Are your walls limited on space? Sitting down with your child on a holiday or even any random day, and turning through the pages of their baby book is quality time you can never replace. The album is the coveted artwork your children will fight over long after you and I are gone. They hold precious memories of images, but also of experiences each and every time you open the book together. Allowing for the display of multiple images from your session, a book or album tells your family story and reminds us that flipping through pages can start wonderful conversations, remind us of beautiful times gone by, and stress to our children how truly, deeply loved they are. Your session book will most likely become the most coveted art from your session! Families may order duplicate albums for grandparents and friends at a generously discounted rate.
How to decorate your home with family portraits
Do you struggle with knowing what to do with family portraits once you've taken them? Most people leave them on their computer or phones to be forgotten about. Portraits are meant to be enjoyed and passed down to the next generation. I want to make it easy for you to get those family portraits on your wall, so I've put together a guide to help you incorporate them into your home decor.
When you have a session at Courtney Mitchell Photography, I help coordinate wardrobe with your home decor and help you choose the best wall in your home to display your new images. There is nothing better than a printed piece that lives permanently in your home and will be cherished for generations.
