A SHINING MOMENT
November 18, 2021
For four days in December and two in January, Houston photographer Scott Edwards is offering a special opportunity to capture truly exceptional images of your child (or children). Scott is calling it A SHINING MOMENT IN BLACK & WHITE (OR COLOR).
While Scott’s studio is always open for a variety of work, these sessions are very specific. The session will be brief, and Scott will be using dramatic lighting and shooting with a high-end medium-format camera. Each participating family will be provided with a beautiful close-up portrait that is a work of art.
Intended for young people – four years old and up – your $395 booking fee includes one 20×20” mounted Fine Art print (your choice of two world-class papers), plus two digital files. Other product options are available including comparably priced Metal Prints or Fine Art Canvases. (This is an exceptional value.)
Scott is offering a special opportunity to capture soulful, truly exceptional images of your child (or children). Take a look at these samples. Each child will be photographed in this stylized manner.”
How does it work?
I’ll book one family (child) each hour. We’ll take a few minutes to get acclimated, I’ll photograph your young person for approximately 15 minutes, then I’ll share some product options and you’ll be on your way! This is a low-pressure, family friendly environment where you can stop the clock and make yourself at home.
Once we shoot, I’ll come back to you within five-six business days with images. You can then make a final selection. Once your choice is complete, I’ll do final touchups to the image and send files to my fantastic high-end fine art printer here in the US (I’ve used them for many projects and you’ll love the final product). Your art will be either delivered to your home (by me) or shipped directly to you, typically in one-two weeks depending on product and materials selected.
What if I have several children?
I need 15 minutes of shoot time with each child, teen, etc. So, we need to build in approximately 20 minutes for each one. I can discount the fee for multiple children.
Please know I’ve built in only a modest profit margin into each product offering. A second child will be discounted $75 and additional children can be discounted $100. For example, if you choose the Mounted Fine Art package, the $395 price will be $325 for the second child and $295 for any additional children. This covers the sitting fee, a Mounted 20×20 Fine Art print and two digital files per child… for medium format work and Fine Art products!
How should I dress my child?
I’ll be shooting in a very “tight” manner – shooting closeups of the child’s face. Please dress your child in dark clothing… I strongly suggest collarless shirts in dark colors such as black, charcoal grey or navy. Bare shoulders work well if you and your child are comfortable with this approach. In the final image, shoulders will be only slightly visible – again, this shoot emphasizes the human face.
How can I book a session?
Please email or call. I’m here in Houston. 847-420-0083 or efgimage@gmail.com. EFG Image LLC is a registered and insured Texas business.
How can I pay?
The fee is paid on the day of the shoot (or before). Payment choices include check, Venmo, Zelle or direct deposit.
What if I want to schedule a different type of shoot?
Count me in. Let’s talk and brainstorm a shoot that will provide you with beautiful images. Also, please note – my portfolio is pretty diverse. I do portraits, headshots, lifestyle and brand, family, small weddings, etc.

You’ll receive a 20×20 Fine Art Print with premium archival inks that produce images with smooth tones and rich colors on your choice of exquisite, archival Fine Art Papers from the world’s leading manufacturers.
