Step One: reach out
Get in Touch & Schedule a Consultation
If you're looking for a unique blend of creativity and authenticity to capture the essence of your special moments, you've come to the right place. At Taylored Photo + Film, we're all about creating memories that last a lifetime. Based in Cincinnati, OH, and available for travel, we are thrilled to work with clients who share our passion for storytelling. The first step to an unforgettable photography experience is simply to reach out. Use our convenient online contact form, or give us a call, and let’s start planning something extraordinary.
Once we've made the initial contact, the next step is scheduling a consultation. This can be an in-person meeting, a phone call, or even a video conference, whichever is most convenient for you. The consultation is your opportunity to share your vision, ask any questions, and get to know the person behind the lens. We'll walk you through what we offer and how we can tailor our services to meet your unique needs.
Step two: Discuss the Details
Proposal
During the consultation, we'll dive into the details: location, style, timing, and any special requests you may have. This conversation is a collaborative process; we want to ensure we fully understand your expectations and preferences. After all, our goal is to transform your vision into beautiful, tangible memories. Don't hesitate to share ideas and inspirations during this stage!
After our consultation, we’ll go to the drawing board and create a customized proposal just for you. This will include a detailed breakdown of services, pricing, and what you can expect from your Taylored Photo + Film experience. Our proposals are transparent and straightforward, making it easy for you to know exactly what you’re getting into.
Step Three: If You Love the Proposal + Contract, Sign It and Pay Your Retainer
Retainer Payment
Once you've had a chance to review the proposal, you may find that you're completely satisfied or you might have some questions or requests for modifications. Either way, we're flexible and open to discussions to make sure everything aligns with your vision. Once everything is tailored to your satisfaction, it's time to make it official. To secure your spot and lock in your date, you'll need to sign the contract and pay the retainer. The retainer is typically a percentage of the total cost and is essential for reserving your date and time slot in our schedule.
We utilize an easy-to-use, secure online platform for both the contract signing and payment process to ensure everything is convenient and hassle-free for you. Once the contract is signed and the retainer is paid, you'll receive a confirmation email along with a copy of the signed contract for your records. This also triggers the commencement of any preparations or pre-work leading up to the shoot or event, such as scouting locations, securing permits, or coordinating with other vendors as necessary.
Paying the retainer not only reserves your date but also commits us to turning your vision into a reality. From this point on, you can count on us to put in the time, effort, and creativity required to deliver a final product that you'll cherish for a lifetime.
Step Four: Have the Time of Our Lives at Your Shoot or Event
Your Photo Shoot
After all the meticulous planning, consultations, and preparations, the day you've been waiting for finally arrives. This is where the magic happens, where we bring your vision to life. Whether it's your wedding day, a special event, or a portrait session, we arrive fully prepared and incredibly excited to capture those fleeting moments and turn them into everlasting memories. Our aim is not just to be the fly on the wall, snapping photos or filming sequences, but to be an integral part of your experience, contributing to the joy and celebration.
Being based in Cincinnati, OH, and open to travel means that we're adaptable to a wide range of environments and settings. We're equipped to handle the unexpected and are always ready to capture those candid, unscripted moments that often turn out to be the most memorable. Throughout the shoot or event, we maintain an atmosphere that's relaxed yet professional, setting everyone at ease and encouraging genuine smiles, laughter, and emotions.
We also believe in capturing not just the people but the atmosphere, the setting, the tiny details that make your day unique. That might mean capturing the gentle waves crashing during your beachside vows, the golden hues of a countryside sunset during your engagement shoot, or the intricate lace details of a grandmother's heirloom veil. Every element adds to the story we're helping you tell.
As we move through the day or session, we'll check in with you to make sure we're capturing the kinds of shots you've envisioned, all while adding a creative twist that makes your photos or film uniquely "you." And let's not forget, we'll have a whole lot of fun in the process! At the end of the day, it's about the joy of creating something extraordinary together, something that you'll look back on with fondness for years to come. Prepare to have the time of our lives as we make your dream visuals a reality!
From the best clients ever.
Kind Words
Our photoshoot with Taylor was SO fun! She had the awesome idea to shoot inside a greenhouse and the photos couldn’t have turned out better! She was there before us scoping things out and was really helpful with posing my sometimes-awkward husband! We also had our 4 month old with us and she was so kind and patient with him and got some really special shots of him for us that we will cherish forever. Highly recommend hiring her for your photo needs!
