Many churches have moved toward digital only directories, and those have their place. But churches have found that having a real, colorful image directory for their congregation still has a place. And, once they find out that it’s not as expensive as you think, it really starts to make sense.
Church Directory Photography & Design
No Hard Sell
The number one rule we receive from churches is “NO HARD SELL”. Guess, what? We totally agree. Nothing moves a photo session from fun to frown like being asked to purchase a photo you may not want. While we do allow members to purchase images, we do not push them to do so.
Timely Sessions
We set our sessions to 5 minutes per family. That seems short, because it’s designed to be. We have found the flow of members in and out of our shoots allows for them to be in and out (if on time) within 10 minutes or less. That’s another positive comment we have received from churches. Ample time is taken to get the pose, clothing and hair set as needed – then you’re done!
Easy Expense Estimates
We realize every church differs in size and time spent on photos will fluctuate. With that in mind, we have an easy calculation for families per church that will give a very clear estimate on the cost, up front, to present to staff or committee. This pricing easily scales from the smallest to the larger congregations.
A Team Effort
I have worked with my beautiful wife for years now, photographing church members, students, and all walks of life. There is none better in making every detail of your family’s pose exacting and well set. With years of experience as a photographer’s assistant, each session is fun, upbeat and conversational to put families and individuals at ease.
Keepsakes are Important
I think back to a session where an older member brought a church directory from 40 years ago from my childhood church. What a time we had reminiscing. In this digital age, physical printed memories of familiar families in our churches still mean something.
