The Portrait Session

with Jenn Metzger

Whether we’re looking at working with fur, feather, or scales, the process of the portrait session is almost identical. Learn about the steps involved here, along with the investment options available too.

Step 1

Register your interest. It seems simple and it is – simply select a date or outline a deadline, let Jenn know a little about the subject and share your general location. From here, we’ll then…
Step 2

At this point, Jenn will complete a complimentary consultation with you to gather your wishes into a single, or a few, specific concepts. We’ll discuss locations and timings, as well as dates and end goals here before moving on to…
Step 3

Creation. At this point, the creation commences and this could be one single portrait session with you or your preferred subject, or it could be an entire process working through months of individual photo shoots, costuming, styling and more, to result in all of the elements needed to finish the concept identified in the consultation.
Within creation is also the retouching and post production, where many days are spent carefully working on every inch of the piece to create something truly iconic. At the end of the creation, we’ll then move into…
Step 4

The Reveal. Here, we reconvene either in person or virtually, to reveal the pieces created within Step 3. Often this is the first time you will have seen the elements captured in Step 3 in a finished format.
Step 5

Here the artwork is passed to our printing partners where they hand print, hand varnish, hand make and hand frame the artwork to our exacting standards on your request. They then package the piece and deliver it with great care to me here in Wichita.
Once I have checked the piece, I then deliver it to your door.

The Keepsake Box

Because it is the 21st Century, we believe that offering digital versions of artwork is not just beneficial, it is expected. With the Keepsake Box, you have the ability to preserve your files on a traditional USB drive, and you can print these as you wish forever more.
Files start at $126 and are available in mini-collections of 3,5, or 10 files only.

Fine Art prints are produced using only the very latest professional museum color printers with archival inks. The paper itself is a 100% cotton Fine Art rag paper with an enhanced whiter 290gsm base. This acid-free, smooth matt paper upholds the appearance of high-key detail and colors to an exceptional standard.
