You are worth celebrating.
Your portraits are an investment in capturing a time in your life that you can be proud of. Everyone who looks at your portraits will have a glimpse of your joy. When you choose Lamplighter Photography you, your investment, and this moment you've chosen to share are treated with the respect and care they deserve.
Getting Ready
We'll work together to book your session at least two weeks in advance, because good things take time. The photographer will consult with you about what you want from your portrait, as well as details like location, time, and what to wear.
If you have a particular location you'd like to use, the photographer will make every effort to scout it and be fully prepared to take the best advantage of it. Every outdoor location is considered with careful attention to the quality of light available at different times of day and the character of the backdrops and vistas the site offers.
In Front of the Camera
There is only one rule at your shoot: Have Fun.
When it's the right thing to do for your portrait, Lamplighter Photography makes use of portable photographic lighting equipment that turns anywhere into your personal studio. This allows us to shoot in conditions that would send other photographers packing — and the final result is a distinctive look you won't typically see in your friends' portraits.
Behind the Scenes
After your session, the photographer spends the following two weeks selecting your best shots, editing, processing, color correcting, and retouching them as necessary to make sure your portraits are as close to perfect as can be.
The Grand Finale
Whether you choose the Premier, Heritage, or Value Collection which feature a selection of prints of varying sizes; or opt for the Deluxe, Elite, or Imperial Collection each of which comprises a mixture of traditional prints and canvas gallery wraps, all of your traditional prints are on Kodak Endura Professional photographic paper rated to last 100 years under typical home display conditions and 200 years in dark storage.
Every Lamplighter Photography Portrait Collection includes the option of additional a la carte ordering, a selection of your portraits as digital files suitable for use on the web at no additional charge, and a free, password-protected, continuously available online gallery for you to share with friends and family.
Showcase Your Memories
In addition to traditional prints on fine Kodak photographic paper, Lamplighter Photography offers several deluxe print products designed to enhance and preserve your portrait investment in admirably distinctive and eye-catching ways.
Gallery Wraps are great choice to showcase your portrait in a simply contemporary way. Your Gallery Wrap is printed on a premier-grade art canvas substrate and professionally wrapped around a 1½" thick wooden stretcher frame so that the edges of your image “bleed” around it.
Acrylic Prints bring your portrait to life with an almost three-dimensional effect. After your image is printed directly on a ¼" acrylic substrate, a layer of opaque white ink is screen printed on the back to create a work of art for your wall that highlights vibrant color and fine detail.
Metal Prints show off your portrait in an incomparable way. Your image is printed onto a coat of opaque white ink spread over brushed aluminum, lending your portrait applealing texture and a uniquely modern flair.
Metal Murals present your portrait as a contemporary work of art that will surely be the center of attention. Your image is split between four brushed aluminum tiles. Each Mural features silver snap rings, and brackets for easy assembly and wall mounting. Guaranteed to make a statement.
Acrylic Prints, Metal Prints, and Metal Murals are available exclusively through a la carte ordering.
