Step #1: Phone Chat
When you reach out to me, I send you an email that has some key information about my services . And then, we book a time to chat on the phone. During this call you enlighten me on everyones personalities & your photo vision. You then learn what a photo experience is like with me (hehe fun). This is the perfect time to see if Candra Schank Photography is a good fit for you and your vision.
Step #2: Preparation Time
The preparation time is the time leading up to your fun & fabulous photo session. I will send you a series of emails and videos to prepare you on:
– What to Wear
– Hints & Tips to prepare you for your session
– Different ways to display your portraits (i.e. canvas, framed, acrylics, albums, wall collections)
– Additional information on pricing

Step #3: Your Photo Session
This is a fun & stress-free experience you, your pet and family have been preparing for! Throughout the session, I will be taking action, candids and posed portraits.
We start off the session with a little meet-and-greet and then we get into the fun stuff. You can be rest assured that I’ll be giving you plenty of direction throughout the shoot to ensure that we get natural and relaxed portraits! We start off with some easy and fun candid-posed shots, then we play some easy games that keep kids and dogs attention.
For Outside pet & equine sessions: your dog or horse will be on lead to keep them focused and safe. Don’t worry though, I am gifted in Photoshop and magically make leads disappear. If we are in a location where you feel confident your dog can be off leash.
Sometimes pets, babies and kids need a little extra time. That’s why I never impose a strict limit on our time together; your session is done when we have a full gallery of beautiful images for you.
Filling Your Home With Memories
There are two best things about a photo session, the memories you create & the portraits that fill your home with happiness.

Step #4 Photo Premiere & Ordering Session
I know how excited you are to see your portraits! That’s why I get your proofs to you right away. And you get to decide what images you love and want to buy. No more buying images you don’t want. And I have two ways you can view and order your images:
Option A) From the comfort of your home, within 7 days of your session, you will receive that email you have been waiting for. The email with your online watermarked proofing gallery, with all of the best photos from your session. You then choose your favourites and then I edit them and send them back to you, ready to be displayed and showed off.
Option B) In-studio Premiere and Ordering Session held 1-2 weeks after your session. For a more personalized experience, you come back to my studio to view and order prints, wall art, albums, and/or digital file packages. I help you choose your favourite portraits and right size and art work for your home.
Step #5. Receive your prints, wall art, and photo albums
There are two best things about a photo session, the memories you create & the portraits that fill your home with happiness. Every time you or a family member walks into a room filled with your portraits, their faces light up with a big smile.
