Jen van der Vecht Photography

Details:

Thank you so much for your interest in my work! Offering a Family Portrait* photo shoot via Groupon is a great way for me to introduce my work to new clients and for your family to enjoy the "photo shoot experience" with very little commitment.

Your Groupon includes a 1 hour photo shoot (regularly $300.) and 1 - 11 x 17 custom print (regularly $95.).

I shoot outdoors, on location, at a quiet, natural Conservation Area in NE Richmond Hill. I use natural light and nature as my "studio". I will photograph your family in various compositions... individual portraits of each child, the children as a group and the family as a whole. My goal is to create a collection of portraits for your family, not just one family group shot. My shooting style is very casual (and fun!). While I shoot, I will encourage your family to be silly and goof around. I believe that the best portraits are those that capture a family laughing together and having a great time! My goal is to create a beautiful Collection of portraits of your family.

Within 14 days, you will be able to view your portraits online as digital proofs**. Your proofs will be viewed within a password protected gallery, which also functions as a shopping cart.  Here you will order your 11 x 17 print.

In addition to the print provided with your Groupon, you will have the option of purchasing additional portraits in high res. digital file*** (jpeg). I offer digital files within 3 Collections (packages) to suit every budget. Collections start at $295..
