A FULL SERVICE PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO

From your wardrobe, to your location, to your heirloom albums and framed artwork, AIDO Photo is here to guide you each step of the way!

The Process

Inquire your details

When you decide to book a session with me, I will schedule a pre-consultation phone call to discuss your portrait session. I will want to learn your goals for the portrait session so that we can best choose a time and place. Which room in your home do you plan to hang your portrait art? What should everyone wear? During this first call I will guide you through the process and answer all your questions so you enjoy the experience, knowing that everything has been covered.

01

Reserve your date

Once you're ready to move forward, the next step is looking at both of our calendars and choosing a date. We take a limited number of sessions per month because of the experience we provide, so we recommend reaching out as far ahead as possible to ensure availability.

02

after the session

About 2-3 weeks after your session you will be invited back to the studio for your design and ordering session where you will have the chance to view the portraits from your session . You will also get to select your favorite images and decide how you want to display them; as framed artwork on your walls or an heirloom album to flip through on the daily or digital collections.

"The experience with Melody was fantastic. It was nice that she had the resources to arrange hair and makeup in the studio. Also, her wardrobe is fabulous and also very nice when you don't want to spend money on a dress you may never wear again. She had a variety of dresses to accommodate different styles. Apart from all of those extras, Melody is a fantastic photographer. I am someone who is not comfortable being the center of attention or being in front of a camera. She made us comfortable and captured our personalities and true happiness during this special time in our lives"
