COMMONLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
What's the ideal time for scheduling my portrait shoot?
While I'm adept at arranging a shoot on short notice, I generally suggest securing your slot at least six weeks ahead if possible. This timeline allows ample preparation for wardrobe selection, arranging any desired beauty appointments, and curating special elements for your shoot. However, if you're working within a tight schedule, don't hesitate to inquire. We're often able to accommodate various timelines and find a solution that works for you.
I don’t have a model-like appearance and I’m self-conscious about certain aspects of my body. Will this affect how my pictures turn out?
Your appearance doesn't need to mirror that of a model, and we can absolutely address any concerns you have about your appearance. If there's something specific that makes you feel self-conscious (as well as anything about your body that you love and wish to emphasize), let's discuss it during our meeting or before your session begins. This way, I'll be mindful of your preferences as I capture your images.
I feel awkward in front of the camera and worry that I'm not photogenic. Is it even worth trying, or can you assist me with this?
Firstly, there's no such thing as being unphotogenic! There are simply poses that don't work well, unflattering angles, or moments of tension in photos. I'm here to address all of those concerns and more. Throughout the session, I'll provide guidance on every pose, ensuring there won't be any moments of uncertainty about how to position your hands, legs, or face!
What's the ideal season for a portrait session?
The perfect time for your session hinges on your preferences, your children's ages, and your comfort with temperature variations. Portrait sessions are flexible and adaptable throughout the year, even in winter with snow! It entirely aligns with the aesthetics you desire and your schedule. In our initial consultation, we'll delve into your vision, assisting you in pinpointing the most suitable timing for your desired outcome.
Am I allowed to bring someone to be photographed with me?
Absolutely! we're open to accommodating multiple individuals. Additionally, if you're looking to make it a fun outing with a friend, family or pet we can arrange for simultaneous shoots to capture those special moments together.
Where do we take our portraits?
Our portrait sessions are versatile and can occur in various settings: outdoors, within a studio, or even at your home, provided it offers a suitable backdrop for photography. However, not all locations offer the same photogenic qualities. We'll assist in selecting the most suitable setting to match the specific look or ambiance you desire. During our portrait planning meeting, we'll discuss if there's a location of significance or an activity you cherish that you'd like to incorporate into your session. Whether you have specific locations in mind or seek recommendations, we'll ensure they are suitable for photography. Our aim is to understand your preferences thoroughly to craft a customized and perfect portrait experience tailored just for you.
What's the recommended attire for a portrait session?
Select clothing that reflects your personal style and identity for your portrait session. It's advisable to steer clear of overly formal or attention-grabbing attire. Instead, opt for comfortable, timeless pieces that exude a classic appeal. Layering clothing offers versatility, adjusting well to different settings and weather conditions. When choosing colors, consider their impact on the overall photograph. For group shots, ensure your outfits complement each other without being overly matching. Avoid intricate patterns and favor solid colors that complement your skin tone for a more flattering look.
How do you describe your photography style?
We are photographers that capture bright and airy images as well as dark and moody pictures. We are drawn to simplicity, natural light and colors.
Do you charge for travel? If so, how are the fees calculated?
for shoots outside the city limits, there might be additional travel fees included. These fees are determined based on the distance and logistics involved.

How long is the turnaround time for a wedding gallery?
The turnaround time for your wedding gallery varies based on the package you choose. We strive for efficient delivery, yet larger galleries require additional behind-the-scenes work. Typically, we estimate a safe time frame of 2 days to 6 weeks for completion depending on the project and package selected.
