HOW DO I RESERVE THE DATE FOR MY PHOTOSHOOT?

If you have a specific date in mind, please contact me to find out the availability.

Next, an initial deposit ($150) will reserve the date for you.

HOW LONG IS THE PHOTO SESSION?

Generally speaking, a session will last 45-90 min. It really depends on how comfortable you are in front of camera. Some people need more time to relax. 

I will never rush you. Nothing is more stressful than constricting yourself into a hard timeframe in which you need to produce results.

 We will work together until I feel we have enough amazing shots for your gallery.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

I always help my clients with outfits. It is an extremely important element (even more than location!) that either will enhance or take away from the images. These images will stay with you for years to come, so I want you to look stylish and timeless even 20 years from now.

I send out an Outfit Guide and visuals that will help you find the perfect look.

During this process, my clients usually scan their wardrobe and send quick selfies in the mirror showing me clothes options they have in their closets. I consider our mood board and suggest the right pieces, pair them together and think of additional accessories we might use for the best results.

A lot of times, pieces that look great and stylish in real life, don’t translate well into the photographs. That’s why its super important to use photographer’s suggestions and trust her/his vision.


HOW LONG UNTIL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOGRAPHS?

I try to keep my turnaround times to 7 days. Usually I edit and color correct your images within 3-4 days, but during busy seasons a week might be the minimum.

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN YOUR PHOTO EDITING?

My editing includes light correction, color adjustments, my signature cropping to emphasize THE most important element in each shot, and skin tone correction.

I am a big fan of natural editing. This means I will enhance your natural beauty by correcting minor flaws if there is any (occasional pimple, dark spot, crease, unflattering fold, etc.) but I don’t practice and don’t believe in full-on photoshopping process that creates mannequins out of people. If your face was blessed with freckles — I will not erase them. If your smile reveals laughing lines, I will not get rid of them completely, just soften a bit. 

True emotions are what important. I focus my attention to show them. 

HOW WILL I MAKE MY PHOTO SELECTION?

I review all images from our session and make the initial selection, eliminating the doubles and unflattering images. The best bunch gets edited and color corrected and uploaded into your personal, private gallery for viewing. 

You will make your selection by marking your favorite images.

There is always more images than any of my packages offer. 

Based on the package you paid for, you will select the number of photos for download.

Additional images can be purchased as add-ons at $15 ea.

DO YOU GIVE OUT RAW FILES?

No, all files will be offered as edited, high-resolution JPEGs.
