C elebrate Fall

 Thank  you  for  choosing  Debbie  Camba  Photography!

As  the  daughter  of  a  talented  black  and  white  film  portrait  photographer,  I  have  always  appreciated  photographic  art,  but  it  wasn’t  until  later  in  life  that  I  developed  a  passion  for  photography.  After  the  birth  of  my  son,  like  many  new  moms,  I  was  inspired  to  capture  and  freeze  moments  in  time  showing  his  beauty,  innocence,  joy,  surprise,  silliness  and  many  other  expressions.    Then,  the  loss  of  my  father  awakened  a  dormant  dream  to  pursue  photography.    Along  my  journey,  I  quickly  discovered  that  connecting  with  children  and  capturing  them  at  each  fleeting  stage  is  what  truly  inspires  me.    

As  a  photographer,  my  goal  is  to  capture  your  child  and  your  family  in  ‘real’  moments  of  life  and  create  lasting  memories  that  will  warm  your  heart  long  after  your  little  one(s)  is/are  grown.  My  approach  is  relaxed,  casual,  and  most  important—fun!    I  strive  to  capture  images  that  are  natural,  but  may  sometimes  make  suggestions  for  prompting  a  pose.    

I  work  on  location  using  natural  and  available  light  in  picturesque parks  or  a  favorite  spot  of  your  choice.  I  shoot  indoor  as  well,  provided  that  you  have  a  bright  room  with  large  windows  that  will  allow  me  to  make  the  most  of  natural  lighting.    

I  encourage  you  to  share  with  me  some  of  your  child’s  likes/dislikes  and  any  other  information  prior  to  the  shoot  so  that  I  can  do  my  best  to  make  your  child  feel  at  ease  and  make  your  photo  session  an  enjoyable  experience.    Prior  to  your  scheduled  session,  I  like  to  arrange  a  phone  consultation  to  discuss  your  session.    I  find  this  helps  manage  expectations  and  prepare  everyone  in  advance.  

Typically,  regular  portrait  sessions  last  for  approximately  one  to  1.5  hours  (30-­‐45  minutes  for  mini  sessions),  but  I  understand  that  some  children  may  need  more  time  to  warm  up  or  take  a  snack  or  potty  break  and  plan  accordingly.  Newborn  sessions  are  typically  a  minimum  of  two  hours.  

Within  14  days  after  your  session,  I  will  email  you  a  link  to  a  private  online  gallery  of  images  from  your  session,  which  will  be  available  for  two  weeks.    Please  feel  free  to  share  the  link  with  family  and  friends.    You  may  then  select  your  images,  depending  on  the  package  you’ve  chosen.  Once  you  have  made  your  selection,  and  I  have  received  payment,  you  can  expect  your  images  within  2-­‐3  weeks.  

I  appreciate  all  referrals!    Any  booked  sessions  that  result  from  your  referral  will  garner  you  a  $25  credit  for  a  1-­‐hour  session.  

Thank  you!

Frequently  Asked  Questions  

What  should  we  wear?  

Bright  colors  and  neutral  colors  tend  to  photograph  well.  While  it  used  to  be  popular  for  everyone  in  the  family  to  match  exactly  (ie,  everyone  wears  white  shirts  and  jeans),  many  families  are  now  leaning  towards  choosing  a  color  palette  and  then  letting  each  family  member  choose  their  favorite  clothes  within  those  colors.  I've  attached  some  examples  that  other  photographers  have  put  together,  just  as exmples.  The  color  palette  can  be  lighter/neutral/pastel  colors,  or  you  can  go  with  brighter  tones  like  red,  green,  blue,  yellow.  You  might  also  want  to  think  about  a  theme. For  example,  retro,  classic,  elegant,  bright  &  sunny,  or  casual  and  laid  back.  The  most  important  thing  is  to  choose  clothing  that  matches  your  family's  style  and  especially  for  kids,  something  that  they  will  be  comfortable  in  and  happy  to  wear.  I also suggest you consider the colors in the rooms you plan to hang photos in and choose a palette that will compliment your decor.

Aside  from  choosing  a  color  palette  (and  a  theme  if  it  suits  you),  the  only  "rule"  I  would  suggest  is  to  avoid  wearing  shirts  or  jackets  with  big  logos  or  characters.  They  can  be  distracting  and  take  the  focus  away  from  your  family's  beautiful  faces.  

What  should  we  bring?  

If  your  family  includes  small  children,  you  may  want  to  pack  a  small  backpack  with  snacks,  juice and a change of clothing just in case! You  can  also  feel  free  to  bring  along  any  toys  or books that  your  child  loves.  

What  is  a  typical  session  like?  

A  typical  session  lasts  between  1  hour  and  1.5  hours  (30  -­‐  45  minutes  for  a  Mini  Session)  at  an  outdoor  location.  My  approach  is  casual,  relaxed  and  fun,  and  while  some  of  the  family  portraits  may  be  gently  posed,  I  strive  to  capture  the  natural  moments  in  between.  Please  feel  free  to  let  me  know  if  there  are  certain  poses  or  groupings  of  family  members  that  you  want  included.  I'm  always  willing  to  incorporate  your  ideas,  so  don't  be  shy  if  you  have  any  suggestions.  

What  happens  if  it  rains?  

Overcast  days  are  usually  fine,  but  if  it  rains,  we  will  either  need  to  move  indoors  to  a  location  with  a  lot  of  natural  light,  or  reschedule  the  session  for  a  time  when  it's  not  raining.    

What  happens  if  I  have  to  cancel?  

I  understand  that  life  sometimes  gets  in  the  way  of  our  plans-­‐-­‐  kids  get  sick,  unexpected  things  happen,  and  you  may  have  to  cancel  our  session.  My  policy  for  portfolio  building  sessions  is  as  follows-­‐-­‐  for  cancellations  taking  place  less  than  one  week  prior  to  the  shoot,  I  am  willing  to  reschedule  one  time,  provided  that  I  have  another  date  open.  If  a  session  is  cancelled  twice,  I  am  unable  to  reschedule  again  at  my  discounted  rate,  but  you  may  schedule  a  regular  session.
