Who Are We?

As the primary photographer, Dana also brings her sense of design to the table for Fairy Dust Fotos. Dana has an early background in film and theater stage setups, including lighting and projection. She has color correction and design experience, which she shares and delivers for our traveling photography studio.

What is the full photo process?

Follow the steps below to book a photo session with us.

Tyler has a background in wedding photography and logo creation. Tyler is the principal design artist. He accompanies Dana to each location to serve as a helping hand to ensure each photo is posed and lit correctly, well before he will apply his designs. Tyler keeps track of the budget, supplies the props, and he also creates every lighting plan for each photo at Fairy Dust. 

What do we need from you?

An open room, at least 10 feet by 10 feet

*This should have an electrical outlet*

Just provide an open room - nothing else

Why do we need an open room?

In order to keep costs low for the client,

we do not rent a studio. Instead, we rely heavily on various forms and sizes of our portable chroma key green screens. By using these, we do not need to set up a fake background, complete with thermoplastic props, nor must we rent a full photography studio, which would raise the costs of our photo packages. Along with the chroma key screen, we use only 2 simple plug in lights which consume less energy than a standard bedside lamp.

This is how we keep the entire studio set up low cost and also portable.

Types of spaces we prefer:

A living room

An empty garage

An open basement room, etc

but there must be an electrical outlet.

Step 1: Choose a Design or Theme

To do this, go to the DESIGNS page, or if a holiday is coming up, go to the corresponding holiday page. For example, it is now December. So at this time, the only Design options are for Christmas, so go to the Christmas page to see which designs are available for the current holiday.

Step 2: Fill out the Order Form

On each Design or Theme page, there will be an order form.

Fill out this Order Form completely.

This will be for the design you will then book an appointment for.

Step 3: Pay for the Photo, on the Design page

After the Order Form, there will be a PayPal / Venmo button. This button also allows the option to enter in a credit card. To make sure every order is legit, all of our payment options are online, at this time. Each photo session must be paid for in advance of booking the photo shoot.

Step 4: Enter your name and address so we can find you.

After you have submitted your payment, you will be directed to a Directions page, where you will be asked to fill out a form which will tell us your name, your email address, your phone number, and your location address, so we can get in touch with you and take the magical photo.

Step 5: Book your Photo Shoot

Go to the Book page, and select a date and time slot which works for you.
