The MFP Experience

WHAT YOUR SESSION INCLUDES:

COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION

As part of your in-studio consultation, we’ll discuss your vision for the portraits. I’ll help you plan outfits, backdrops, and lighting style preferences. We’ll book the dates for both your Photoshoot and the Reveal & Order meeting.

GUIDED PHOTOSHOOT

I’ll guide you through expressions, posing, and action (if applicable) so your personality and talent shine in every image. For dance and gymnastics sessions, a teacher or coach will be available to assist.

REVEAL & ORDER MEETING

We’ll review the images from your session and select your favorites. I believe in the lasting power of a print, and will guide you on wall art selections and the design of other products such as albums and gift-size prints. Your favorites will be professionally retouched and you will receive digital files of all images ordered with a print product.

PRINT ORDER DELIVERY

Three weeks after your Reveal & Order Meeting, your print order will be ready for pick-up at the studio. With any Premium package, I also include a certificate for complimentary white glove wall art installation at your home or office if you so choose, within a 20-mile radius of the studio.

I had the pleasure of having a photo session with Miguel at the Wheaton Public Library last week. He was there volunteering his time to take headshots for people looking for jobs at the Career Fair put on by People's Resource Center. I just received my headshots and I couldn't be happier. For someone who is out of work, having a professional headshot for my LinkedIn profile taken really helps. I can't thank you enough Miguel!

My daughter and I worked with Mr. Miguel through her dance studio for headshots. He and his wife were so kind and lovely to work with! We loved how professional the shoot was and how they were so easy and pleasant. The photos were all so beautifully done. We can't wait to work with him again soon!
