Your Investment & What to Expect Before, During & After Your Atlanta Photography Session

Atlanta Photography Session Pricing

Primary rates include Erica Aitken as your photographer. If you are looking for a more affordable option, but still want a unique photography session experience and high quality photographs with the “Erica Aitken Photography look,” you may want to consider booking with one of my fabulous associate photographers.

All of my team have been hand-picked by me, have worked with me for multiple years and are consummate professionals in the Atlanta photography industry. When an associate photographs your session you’ll receive a discount on your shoot, but I’ll still be your main point of contact and will handle the retouching and delivery of your images.

Before Your Photography Session

Prior to meeting on the day of your Atlanta photography session, we’ll schedule a phone consultation to get to know one another and discuss your specific photographic needs. During your phone consult I’ll be more than happy to answer any questions you may have for me. We’ll chat about our shared artistic goals as well as what you’d like to have as your end result from your shoot, including your preference for printed fine art products versus digital images. We’ll discuss whether you will be best served by working directly with me or by working with one of my wonderful associate photographers. You’re guaranteed to love your photos regardless of whether you book directly with me or with one of my associates.

We’ll collaborate in advance to make sure we capture the moments you’ll treasure for years to come. As your Atlanta Photographer, being a creative powerhouse is absolutely essential. Ultimately, I want you to come away from your Atlanta photography experience knowing with confidence that your session was completely one-of-a-kind and original. From our very first conversation you and I will become a brainstorming team, uniting to make sure your unique style, personality and passions are reflected in every one of your photographs.

Please feel free to reach out to me anytime with any creative ideas or inspirations that you’d like to try out during your Atlanta photography session. Together we’ll plan your outfits, color-scheme and a location for your photo shoot. Since my style of photography is natural, relaxed and photo-journalistic, it’s incredibly important that we select an activity or location for your Atlanta photography session that will allow you and your loved ones to enjoy your time together and interact as you truly are in daily life.

In order for me and my associate photographers to capture the emotional connection and genuine relationships between you an your loved ones, you’ll need to be relaxed and comfortable. So, if your family has a great time going to the ice cream shop, let’s do your family portrait shoot there! If you and your sweetheart met on the downtown Decatur Square and love to drink wine, let’s do your engagement photography session at a local wine bar and around the Decatur area! If you love nature and your dog, let’s photograph you and your dog playing along the Chattahoochee River! One of my favorite parts of my job is helping you select a unique location and backdrop for your Atlanta photography session that will truly allow your photographs to be authentic and personalized!

During Your Photography Session

An Atlanta photography session with me or my associates is never high-pressure or stressful. We are all very laid back and won’t make you feel you need to perform; all that’s required of you is a positive attitude and a willingness to do what you do best: interact genuinely with your loved ones and take the time to really experience the authentic emotion in your daily relationships and special occasions. Try to breathe deeply, relax, really connect with each other and focus on savoring your experience spending time together. That’s it. You just have to be yourself and enjoy the moment! Easy, right?!

Throughout your Atlanta photography session we may move you a bit here or there in order to make sure we are getting the right angles and the best light, but you are never going to feel forced to “pose” (the only exception to this is boudoir shoots, during which I will specifically pose you to flatter your figure best). Please don’t worry; just because we take a step back and allow your interactions to occur more naturally, my associates and I are still going to make sure you look your very best before snapping the shutter button!

Organic, one-of-a-kind intimate moments cannot be planned for; we want to capture them spontaneously! So just relax, be yourself and allow me and my associate photographers to take care of everything else. As your Atlanta photographer specialists we’ll make certain your photography session results in innovative, artistic and beautiful professionally retouched photographs that you will have an emotional connection to, forever.

After Your Photography Session

After your Atlanta photography session you’ll be able to pick your favorite photos for retouching from a private online proofing gallery. Once I’ve received your selections I’m meticulous with my editing process and spend hours retouching and enhancing your favorite photographs so that you will receive the highest quality end results possible.

Event photos are lightly retouched, which includes color correction of all of your selected photos. Portrait and Wedding photos are fully retouched, which includes color correction plus additional enhancements, such as skin smoothing, blemish removal, teeth whitening, hair flyaway removal, body slimming (yes, I can make you instantly drop those 20 pesky extra pounds!) and more. Although I do detailed editing of your images, I’ll ensure that you still look like you! My pet peeve as a photographer are photos in which the subjects look overly-retouched, unnatural, plastic, or fake. I promise that my natural subtle enhancement of your images will leave you looking the very best possible authentic version of yourself!

All final edited photos may be delivered electronically via digital download from an online gallery, and are sent as full high-resolution jpegs.  Event photos are retouched in color only. If you’ve booked a Portrait, Headshot, Mitzvah or Wedding package, your selected images will be fully retouched in color and also in black & white.  

After your photos have been delivered you’ll have the option to place orders for printed fine art products through my professional photographer’s print laboratory.  I highly recommend having your favorite images printed so you can display them in your home and enjoy your custom-created original photo artwork for many years to come!
