Like good conversations, good photographs need time and the right conditions to unfold. The more moving pieces & parts there are, the more time ideas will need to come to fruition.

Package 01 is ideal for portraits of 1-2 people and a few simple photographic scenes.

Package 02 is a great choice families & larger groups and for folks looking for a wider variety of images.

If you have an idea for a session needing longer than 1.5 hours, I can create a custom package for your vision.

What I love about the documentary-style of photography is that it honors life as it is, not a staged version of it. For documentary-style images, I typically want to do things that you enjoy alongside you – the morning ritual of coffee around the table, walking your favorite path around the neighborhood, family story time, etc. Life should feel like the center piece of the photoshoot, not the camera.

But don’t worry, I will give light direction when needed and make sure that your hands don’t look awkward ;)

Ahh, my greatest love! I grew up photographing on film (thanks mom) and prefer the way I shoot with it. Because each roll of film has a limited number of exposures, I am forced to slow down & notice with my full attention, choosing each moment with intention. This process helps me create the images I am most proud of.

Not to mention, the dreamy grain & color tones of film simply cannot be replicated in digital (trust me, I’ve tried).

For a portrait session, you can expect to receive your private digital gallery 4 weeks after our shoot. Given that I shoot film, editing naturally takes longer as I have to wait for a lab to develop the film rolls then scan each exposure myself.

If it’s an exceptionally busy photo season for me & it will take me longer than that, I will be sure to let you know asap!

If you don’t have that long to wait – for an additional fee, I will move your images to the top of my que and have them to you in a shorter amount of time.

It isn’t necessary but always helpful if you are able to take some time to vision and consider what is feeling important to you about this session. This can include: 

• the location (choosing a place that feels special to you)

• the activities (what might you want to be doing in these photos?) 

• and of course, the outfits (what makes you feel great and like yourself?)

In the warmer weather months, I’d recommend booking a shoot during the morning or early evening when the light is softest. During cooler weather months, mid-day or when there’s most light is just fine!

As for rainy weather during your shoot? This is up to your discretion. On certain occasions, a little rain and umbrellas or indoor photos can be charming but I get it if that’s not your vibe. I’ll ask you to book a back up date for winter-spring shoots in the case of rain. 

If you are a musician or artist and would like to use photos from our shoot commercially or for advertisements, there is a separate usage fee that is determined on a case by case basis. Please inquire for more information.

Common examples of commercial uses:

• Album cover/artwork

• Spotify artist photos

• Promotional material (digital or print)

• Magazine feature

• Social media advertisements

Poke around and find the package that feels like the best fit then fill out the inquiry form or email me directly at adamatusiewiczphoto@gmail.com

It’s okay if you’re not sure what you want your photos to entail, we can collaborate on concepts together!
