About the Photographer:
My name is Emily, and I have grown up in the DFW area. Currently located in Garland/Rockwall. I'm somewhat goth, plus size woman with a very open mind who loves taking photos. Particularly like taking photos of other BBWs or boudoir and fetish shoots. I also love doing fantasy or dark themed shoots.
Besides photography I make and sale chain maille jewelry and OOAK art dolls. You can also find me dabbling in lots of various other art and crafting areas including but not limited to knitting, sewing, painting, sculpting, digital painting, graphic design, vector imagery, print design, drawing, charcoal, and who knows what else.
I'm an anime fan, own an Asian Ball-jointed Doll and am helplessly addicted to Dragonfable and The Sims. I also love animals but don’t currently have any pets of my own.
Types of Photography:
Although the majority of my photos are BBW and/or adult themed, I am open to taking many types of photos.
When I do Adult shoots I always strive to keep them tasteful and at least somewhat artistic. I try my best to make sure my style of photos are unique and not something you will get by going to a generic portraiture studio.
Discounts:
I give a 15% discount for allowing me to show your photos on my portfolio and also 15% for returning customers. These discounts are stackable and only apply to the price of shoots not prints.
Buying Additional Prints:
You can have 3 options if you want more photos then what comes with your package.
You can obviously buy additional photos from me. I will sale them for $5 large and $2 for smalls with a minimum of $15 total.
I also offer for free to upload all your photos to a 3rd party website (I use/prefer winkflash but can upload to snapfish, shutterfly, or mpix.) that will allow you to order as many prints or other using your photos as you would like.
Your 3rd option is to take your disk (if you requested one) to any location that offers digital printing, such as Wallgreens, Wal-Mart, or Wolf Camera. Keep in mind that if your photos are adult at all 3rd party companies may refuse to print them.
Receiving Your Photos:
Unless you decide you only want your photos uploaded to a printing website then you will receive your photos in a high resolution digital format. These files are suitable for immediate printing. For anyone with medium or heavy editing you will also receive a smaller version made for use when posting online.
You have the option of having your photos burned on CD or I can upload them in a ZIP file for a limited time for you to download.
Photo Editing:
Light - Color corrections and balancing. Full print size format only.
Medium - Light plus web size versions of photos. Removal of noticeable blemishes and evening skin tone
Heavy - Medium plus altering background or adding text. Altering photos to appear cross processed or vintage. Other requested photo manipulations.
Upgrade your package to the next level for $10
Makeup and Styling:
All packages over $30 comes with free makeup help by me. Although I have a large selection of makeup available, it is recommended you bring your own as well, especially foundations or powder. Makeup in my position has been used both on other people and me, if this bothers you make sure to bring plenty of your own.
I have lots of props and some clothing and lingerie available for people to use. If you need help need help deciding on clothing or accessories then bring a wide selection and I will gladly offer up my opinion to help out.
I am NOT a professional hair or makeup stylist, if you would like one for your shoot you will need to hire one. I do not currently have someone for recommendation but am looking one.
Rights to Photos:
Unless you pay for me to sale the rights of the photos to you they will be joint property between both of us. I will never sale the rights to use/display/print/sale, form a client, to a 3rd party. I will never display a client's photos online, in person, or in print without the client's knowledge and permission. If you have not paid for full rights and acquired a release form from me you are not allowed to sale or release the copyright to a 3rd party.
If you wish to have your photos published publicly for display ONLY (as in you don't sign rights away), I will sign a release to display it as long as photography credit is given near the photo.
Photo Locations:
Home Studio - The best place for studio quality photos will be at my home in Garland/Rockwall area. I already have various clothing and props that I will not take on location without specific request. I also have various items set up for studio use that can not be transported. Shoots can be scheduled 24/7.
Model Supplied Privately Owned- For any package of $65 or more I offer to drive up to 20miles for the shoot. I will have to charge a fee for gas money to go any further of a distance. Because I share a car these shoots will have to be planned around another persons schedule if I have to drive myself. I have various lighting that I can take with me however I will need access to a standard 3 prong electrical socket. Lighting may or may not still be needed for outdoor locations.
Publicly Accessed- Same details as a above however I will not be able to take my lighting to MOST locations. Client will be responsible for any payment required for me to enter. If I need/bring and assistant then I will provide funding for them.
Some suggested 3rd party locations are Dallas and Fort Worth botanical gardens, Japanese gardens, various parks, various abandoned buildings, DART and TRE train systems/stations and the sanctuary of lifestyle arts(for fetish/nude themed shoots). Please keep in mind that the majority of these and other public locations will not be applicable to anyone wishing to do boudoir or nude photos.
Other People at the Shoots:
I will occasionally have an assistant to help out on shoots; I have both males and females that help out. All assistants are professional and will not act inappropriately. If this is a problem let me know before hand. I am also willing to have an assistant leave if they make you uncomfortable at any point.
You can bring an extra person to make you comfortable or give you advice during your shoot, but you can not bring small children unless you are doing photos with them (obviously not at all if the photos are adult).
You can't bring any more then 2 people with you (unless it's a group/couple shoot.) I don't mind if they give you advice or offer suggestions, however if they are ONLY behind distracting I will as them to wait out side or in another room. I highly suggest NOT bringing a significant other to a boudoir/lingerie/nude shoot unless you are positive they can be mature and will not be distracting. Unfortunately most are often be allot more distracting they are helpful at all, so please consider them from an objective stand point.
Number of Photos:
I find many people wanting their photos taken in 35mm anymore because of the time and money that is added to be able to do them. That is why all packages are based around digital photos taken with a DSLR. Since we will be using photo we don't have to worry about the amount of photos taken and just limit the time spend on the shoot.
How Long Will it Take:
On top of you shoot time I generally give you 15mins to get ready before hand if I am not helping with your makeup. This is why if possible you should have your hair/makeup done before hand. I also allow a small amount of time to change outfits without it eating into your shoot time however not allot if you are going to be changing into more then 3 outfits.
I can edit the photos directly after the shoot for all Light level editing and burn it to disk before you leave if requested; however, this could take up to 30mins depending on the amount/variety of photos. Medium and Heavy will obviously take more time to work on since I have to spend more time checking and altering each photo individually. If you are getting either of these packages and want any prints directly after the shoot I am willing to edit a few that you have chosen first and then work on the rest after you have left.
All photos will be done within a maximum of 72 hours (most will be completed within 24). Once all photos and requested prints are done you can either come pick them up in person or I can mail them to you. If you only want digital copies I can also put them in a zip/rar file and send them or upload them to a 3rd party printing website.
For all Heavy edited photos I will post preview images on my site in a password protected album for you to look at and approve. You will get an image of all photos as a small unedited version for you to point out individual editing needed. If you want text/cross processing or other such batch alterations then I will send you a sample of a few edited for you to approve and then apply it to all of them.
Contact me for additional questions or concerns.
