ICONIC MOMENTS DESERVE AN ICONIC CELEBRATION

It’s time to CELEBRATE! 

Whatever phase of life you find yourself in, it should be embraced with joy and excitement. Whether it’s a birthday, milestone event, graduation, a new beginning, etc., the special moment should be celebrated through photos. You’re here visiting the site because you’re contemplating a way to celebrate a special moment in your life, and let me tell you, I am so honored that you are considering me for this wonderful task.

My job as your portrait photographer is to help you capture the beauty of your special occasion. I want to give you the best experience that you’ve ever had and help you capture memories that will last for years to come. The occasion may only come once, so let’s capture the moment one photo at a time.

Hey There!

LaToya

HI! I'm

as Your Portrait photographer

I Want to Celebrate You!

I want your photoshoot to reflect the vibe of what you have spent the last time period of your life doing and becoming. I know we can create an iconic photoshoot to show the world what you have accomplished!

let's connect:

It’s all about YOU!

It’s your moment to shine and feel empowered!

Never underestimate the power of your accomplishments! You only live this life once, so your goals, dreams, and aspirations that become a reality need to be celebrated. The event can be as simple as a life achievement, embarking on a new lifestyle change, getting out of your comfort zone, or if you just need a confidence boost or want to express yourself. Wanting to have current images as keepsakes is the perfect way to remember the joy and excitement of this wonderful time in your life. I want you to feel confident that you landed in the right place to make all this happen!  

I Totally Understand
I believe a photoshoot is a great way to commemorate the occasion. I understand all the concerns that may be looming in your mind, like how can I visually tell my story, what location (s) will look the best, what should I wear, do I need props, what color schemes are visually appealing, not feeling confident in front of the camera or not knowing how to pose, etc. I get it! That’s why the planning process will be as stress-free and painless as possible. I will help you every step of the way. I want your gallery to be full of images that beautifully tell your story and you’re excited to share and I will do everything to make this happen.

The Dynamic Duo
Since this is such a special and important time in your life, I want you to continue to live on cloud nine of what you have accomplished and not worry about all the details. With the LJP Portrait Experience, your session is a handcrafted experience that both you and I will create together to bring your vision to life. It is a true COLLABORATION! Yep! You read that right… every decision will have your stamp of approval on it. Some photographers dictate to the client what the experience will be, but where is the fun, creativity, and originality in that?!? It’s so exciting to be able to mesh ideas together so your photos stand out and beautifully tell the story of your success. You want your photos to look original and iconic, and we will make that happen together! 

My Guarantee to You
I want your session to be a whole vibe! I want you to feel on top of the world before, during, and even after your photos are taken. We are going to make a “big deal” about your occasion because it deserves to be celebrated, no matter how big or small you may think it is. I want your images to truly capture the essence of the experience. My promise to you is to help bring your vision to life. I want your experience to be fun and exciting, and I want your gallery to be full of images that capture the heart and soul of your true spirit and the occasion!

So, LaToya... how does this whole process work?

The LJP Portrait Experience

step 01: Inquire to Book Your Session

Before we can make any magic happen we have to get you on the books. Fill out the inquiry form to express your interest. This gets the ball rolling. We will coordinate dates and once we have a date set, your 50% non-refundable deposit is due along with your signed contract to secure your date on my calendar. Once all has been received, you’re officially booked and we can proceed with the exciting steps.

step 02: Planning Consultation

Once you are booked we can start planning all the details. I’ll email you a questionnaire that will help me get to know you a little better and so you can share your vision with me for your shoot. The email will have a link to schedule your virtual consultation so we can start planning your customized shoot and discuss outfits, locations, themes, etc. The prep guide that you will also receive will give you tips on how to prepare for your session so you will be ready in every aspect. My hope is for you to leave the meeting totally confident and excited about your experience. I’ll share all of my expertise with you so your shoot will be FABULOUS!

step 03: The Photoshoot

It’s SHOWTIME! All of that collaboration we did is for this exciting moment. We’ll meet at the location we've decided on and start capturing memories. Don’t worry if you feel nervous, I’ll make sure you feel confident every step of the way. We’ll spend our time getting the perfect shots with plenty of different poses and backgrounds so you end up with a variety of images. The best part for me is the laughs that we will share. I love capturing “bloopers” with clients because even the most serious occasions come with some laughs. Come ready to have a great time.

step 04 : Image reveal

Your gallery gives you access to the digital files where you will be able to download and share your images on social media right away.

How early should I book my session?

I recommend booking your session at least three to four months in advance. Because I also photograph seniors, availability can fill up quickly.

What if I want a styled indoor/studio shoot?

We can absolutely make this happen for you! We will work together to find a suitable indoor location/studio to suit your vision. But because I am an on-location outdoor photographer, the rental fee and any other applicable fees for the space will be added to your package cost. 

I recommend https://www.peerspace.com/ as a good starting point to get some ideas.

When are you available?

Shoots take place on Saturday and Sunday evenings approximately two hours before the sun sets (Golden Hour).  Also, temperatures are usually favorable around this time.

Do I need to find my own locations?

Nope! We will collaborate to find the perfect locations that complement your outfits, personality, and occasion. 

What should I wear?

We’ll collaborate to select the best outfits to reflect your style and personality. You’ll also receive a Style & Prep Guide that will give you all the tea on how to look your best.

Can I order prints, albums, and products directly from you?

Absolutely! You will be able to order prints and products directly from your gallery.

Will you retouch my photos?

Yes! Your best images will be edited to make you look as natural and true to yourself as possible. 

How long does it take to receive the images from my session? 

You can expect to receive your gallery approximately 2 to 3 weeks after your session.

When is payment due?

To reserve a date with LaToya Jyadon Photography, a 50% non-refundable retainer is due along with the signed contract in order to secure your date. The remaining 50% plus any relevant travel fees (if applicable) are due FOUR (4) weeks before your session date. All paperwork and payments can be done online for your convenience!

What if I'm really uncomfortable in front of the camera?

I'm here to guide you. I can promise you that everyone feels nervous at first, but they feel relaxed as the session progresses. My posing style is very natural, but I will guide you as you need it. In my experience, once clients feel comfortable, they usually take over the show!

My experience with LaToya Jyadon Photography was amazing. To warm up she provided music of my choice to set the mood. She made sure she captured a few photos at each location. The outcome of my photos exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend booking with her.

taylor

My experience with LaToya was an absolute pleasure. She was so helpful prior to the shoot with scheduling, with great flexibility. She made each outfit look amazing (which she also helped with) in relation to the scenery. Overall, the experience was very fulfilling. My photos turned out so much better than I expected and I will be referring her to anyone that needs a reliable photographer!

Tahirah

Working with LaToya was an amazing experience! I had a vision that I wanted to bring to light and with her help, it was a success! Outside of us knowing each other for more than 20 years, she was absolutely professional, timely and a sweet person to work with! My overall experience was great and I can’t wait to have another shoot with her!

Kristen

My experience with LaToya was such an amazing and professional experience. I wanted to take photos for my birthday, so she began by giving me guidance on what outfits would look best to help me capture this special time in my life. I was made to feel confident and comfortable during the entire session. I told her what I was self-conscious about and she made sure to make me look flawless. I couldn't have been any more pleased with the images I received.

Lamine

Working with LaToya was a great experience and I had a great time at my photoshoot. I loved the images we took and the response from my family and friends was great. Many people asked if they could have a photoshoot with her once they saw my images. Overall, I had a good experience with LaToya and I plan on doing more photoshoots with her soon.
