If you are uninterested in post-processing, we can spend the entire day photographing. A shorter sunset session is also an option. Let me know your preferences, and I will create a customized schedule. shainblumphoto@gmail.com

How It Works

  • We will first schedule a phone call to review all the details and potential subjects you would like to shoot. I will then make a custom workshop/location plan for us, accounting for the weather and conditions. 
  • We will meet up at a great coffee shop to have some food & dive into post processing techniques, give image critiques/portfolio reviews and I can also share my various ways of scouting, planning & checking weather.
  • From there, I can drive us to/from the photos. Or we will be doing short walks in-between spots. This is also an excellent way for us to chat about anything you would like related to photography. 
  • Once we arrive at our first location, we can in person scouting/ searching for compositions with afternoon light.
  • Depending on the time between locations, we may be able to visit more than one before our sunset spot.
  • Before sunset, we will make sure to be in a spot ready to capture the light at a new location.
  • After sunset, we will stay out capturing twilight, blue hour, and potentially some night photography.
