When your photos work...so do you.
HELLO. I AM VALERIE BOGLE AND I’M VERY HAPPY TO MEET YOU. I WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TELL YOU A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF AND WHY PHOTOGRAPHY IS SUCH A PASSION OF MINE. I’ll begin by telling you that prior to my life as a professional photographer, my days were spent as an Art Director, Designer and a Model. I’ve always been drawn to the creative side of things. Throughout my career, I’ve been all around the camera, from conceptualizing and art directing shoots for clients like Publix, Royal Caribbean, as well as most of the Marriott Hotel Brands; Residence Inn, Marriott, Fairfield Inn & Suites, Springhill Suites and Courtyard. Not to mention in front of the camera for companies like CocaCola, Florida Tourism, Publix, Kash n’ Karry, Brighthouse Networks, Carnival Cruiselines, and too many more to mention. During this time, my time shooting was for fun, for friends, family and personal vacation photo journaling.

I
T WAS CLEAR that in the center of all I’ve enjoyed doing—was a camera!
To this day, it is fair to say that one of my greatest passions is still photography. Now I get to share it with you! I love meeting with clients and talking (read: gushing) about their shoot. I love customizing shoots, creating storyboards, and most of all I love creating amazing photos my clients love. Sigh. I just adore it all. As someone who’s been on the other side of the camera, I totally understand the excitement, the nerves and even the stress that can come when being photographed. Think of me as not just your photographer, but as a friend who will listen to what type of photos you’re after, guide you each step of the way and give you one less thing to worry about! Unlike some photographers, I shoot in a studio, but not a stuffy one, one that feels more like a cool Manhattan flat. In addition to the studio, I also shoot on location - there are so many great spots nearby, and I’m always on the lookout for the next cool place! Why so thorough? Because, I believe details are exceedingly important. For that reason, I work closely with you to give you the piece of mind to enjoy each moment, while I’m busy shooting them. After all this day is all about you! I look forward to getting to know you and capturing photos that you’ll love and will help get you booked!

WHY DO PEOPLE BOOK A SHOOT?
There are countless reasons you may be considering a Lifestyle, Fashion and/or Model Photo Shoot. Below are just a few: • You’re a model and need to update your photos for your portfolio. • You want to be a model and need photos that will showcase you best. • You write a blog, and need lifestyle photos for your site. • You’re a Senior in High School, and want amazing pictures to celebrate this time in your life. • You own a business, and need photos that portray your personality for your marketing materials. • You want portraits to display on the walls in your home. • You aren’t really interested in being a model, but would like to feel like one for the day...and have great photos to show for it. • You just enjoy having your photos done, and why not?! The number one concern about doing a photo shoot is,
“I’m sort of new to this and not really sure what to do.” That is a common concern, yet one that can easily be addressed. Depending on the reason for your shoot, I can help you each step along the way. From what to bring, what to wear, how to prepare, and how to pose. Having done this for many many years now, I am certain once we get the process started, you’ll feel more and more at ease each step of the way. And I’m confident by the time we’re done, you’ll wonder what you were worrying about! As we customize your session, including the location and props (if neeeded), I’ll provide you with details, tips and advice on how to preparefor the day of your session. And, of course, you’ll want to bring several outfits and options for the shoot. Some see this as an excuse to go shopping! Who am I to stop you? ;) If you have any more questions about booking your shoot, don’t hesitate to ask!

CHOOSING A PHOTOGRAPHER
OK, so I know that selfishly as a professional photographer, I should just tell you to book your shoot with Valerie Bogle Photography and be done with it. For me, though, booking a photographer is a really, really important decision that you shouldn’t take lightly.
First and foremost, I believe that you should book a photographer who captures the types of images you love and will show your versatility and help to get you bookings. In addition, I believe that the photographer you choose should be someone whose company you enjoy. After all, you’re going to spend a lot of time with that person on your shoot! Make sure they will take the time necessary to plan a shoot just for you, not a cookie cutter shoot that everyone has. If you love the images you see on my website and in this welcome packet, that’s just one reason why you should book with me. Another reason? You want photos that capture your many looks and style, photos you’ll be proud to put in your book and share with your agents and their clients, and that’ll be exactly what I’m after. If you want to talk further, by all means, let’s meet for coffee..on me!

To go over in more detail what you’re after and why. It helps me to know the reason for your shoot, types of shots you’re after, and what inspired you to have photos taken. This will help her customize your shoot. The likelihood we’ll be shooting in studio, and/or on-location. The nature of your shoot will dictate location(s), but careful thought is given to what will suit your shoot best. To be pampered and made to feel like a million bucks! Every shoot includes hair & makeup for up to 2 people. You just have to crawl out of bed, shower, grab your stuff and head to the studio! Wardrobe changes. As many as we can fit into your session! Bring at least 6 of your favorite outfits, then add 1-2 more just in case. I have a way of putting things together you might not have considered, but you’ll have final say. Options! This means plenty of images to choose from, and trouble deciding! I’d be lying if I said I only want you to choose one image! Of course, I want to make it as hard for you to decide as I can - because I want you love all of them! Having a great time and getting plenty of compliments on your photos! I haven’t shot anyone yet that didn’t enjoy themselves throughout the shoot!! And get ready for lots of attention when you share your photos with your friends & agent.

FAQS

WHAT IS LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY?
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK?
HOW LONG UNTIL I GET SEE MY PICTURES?
Lifestyle photography is a kind of photography which is less about stiffly posed photos, but rather aims to capture people in real-life scenarios that are relevant to the subject. The purpose for models in Florida, especially, is to capture images that show versatility in looks you have to offer, along with shooting scenarios that look more like a real shoot versus a portfolio building shoot. Combined with a Fashion, Beauty & a Contemporary Portrait twist for more intersting and diverse images. The goal is always to give you images like what you would see in a magazine, and will help you get booked more.
To book with Valerie Bogle Photography, just send me an email or call me to book. Shoot fee is due at time of booking and includes a non-refundable fee of $150 for cancellations made within 21 days of shoot date!
I know waiting is tough, and timing is often dictated by number of shoots happening around the time of yours. However, your Photo Premiere will typically take place between 2-3 weeks after your shoot.
