FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I DON’T THINK I AM PHOTOGENIC, CAN YOU TAKE A GOOD PHOTO OF ME?

Most clients who experience portrait sessions with me are everyday men & women, not models. 99% of them express that they are not photogenic. Just be yourself, relax and leave all the work to me. I shall gently guide you through many authentic and natural poses. I am an expert at finding the most flattering angles for any body type.  I want to help you feel like a supermodel, feel celebrated and most of all: have fun!

DO YOU OFFER HAIR AND MAKE-UP SERVICES?

Yes, Professional Makeup & Hair styling can be included with any session for an additional fee. I work with select professionals whom I trust with outstanding results every time!

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

As soon as we confirm that your session is booked I will send you plenty of information on how to prepare. I will cover a lot more than just outfit choices. You can also reach out to me for my input regarding clothing.  Once I know what you are bringing with you for your portraiture session I will be able to map out background choices as well as lighting style.

Feel free to reach out to inquire about the full range of services, products, and packages available — I’d be happy to create a custom experience just for you.



HOW DO I PAY FOR MY SESSION?

Once your session has been confirmed, to secure your session, a non-refundable booking fee is required. This goes toward your final package. At this time we accept EMT.

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK MY SESSION?

An incredible experience takes time to plan and prepare. I give each client my full attention, for this reason, I accept a limited number of sessions per month. I like to book sessions 2-4 weeks out. However, if you are in a time crunch I will do my best to fit you in and make sure all the bases are covered. If you need a weekend session that is prime time and I recommend contacting me 2-3 months prior.

HOW LONG WILL MY SESSION TAKE?

It depends on your package and type of session. Most of my sessions last between 2-4 hours. Makeup application can take additional 90 minutes per person.

MAY I BRING ANYONE WITH ME TO MY SESSION?

Of course! You can bring family member, best friend, significant other or a fur baby!! Celebrate your relationships and have some fun together! 

DO YOU PROVIDE ALL IMAGES?
After your session, you'll receive a proof gallery with the best images from our time together .
From there, you’ll choose your favourites to be professionally retouched according to the package you selected (or any add-ons).

The full proof gallery (color-corrected but not retouched) is available for purchase, if you’d like to keep all the memories from your session.

WILL YOU FIX MY IMPERFECTIONS?

I will be happy to remove any impermanent blemishes that you are concerned about, however I will never dramatically alter anything about how you physically look. Please do let me know your desires and I will address whatever necessary and make sure you look your best, yet look like yourself.

DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH ON LOCATION?

I love to photograph equally in the controlled lighting studio as well as at the outdoor natural light locations. The choice is yours. Creativity is mine. Unique locations are welcome!

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE SESSION?

About 7 days after your session, you’ll receive a private proof gallery to view at your own pace. If you’d like help narrowing down your favorites, we can schedule a Zoom call where I’ll  help you select the images you love and are proud to keep.
Once your final selections are made, I’ll move into the editing phase and deliver the images approximately 1-3 weeks later.
