FAQ
How does booking work?
Once you reach out, I’ll confirm availability and help you choose the right session type. A 50% retainer is required to secure your date, with the remaining balance due prior to final image delivery. Everything is kept simple and clear so there are no surprises.
What’s the difference between lifestyle, branding, and milestone sessions?
Lifestyle sessions are relaxed, natural portraits — great for personal use or light professional needs.
Branding sessions are more intentional and planned, designed to support a business, service, or personal brand.
Milestone sessions are custom-quoted and tailored around a specific moment (birthdays, grads, anniversaries), with more flexibility in concept and scope.
If you’re unsure which fits best, I’m happy to help you decide.
I’m not great in front of the camera — do you help with posing?
Absolutely. Most people I photograph don’t consider themselves “photogenic,” and that’s completely normal. I’ll guide you through posing, movement, and expression the entire time so nothing feels stiff or awkward. You don’t need to know what to do — that’s my job.
What should I wear / how should I prepare?
Once your session is booked, I’ll share simple prep guidance to help you feel confident going in. Nothing complicated — just a few tips around clothing, colours, and fit so everything photographs cleanly and timelessly.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions can take place in a studio or on location, depending on the session type and what you’re after. Studio rental is arranged as needed and billed at cost. Location details are always confirmed ahead of time so everything runs smoothly.
How many final images will I receive?
Each session type includes a set number of final edited images, with the option to purchase additional images if you’d like more. I focus on quality over quantity — you’ll receive a curated selection that represents the strongest moments from the shoot.
What kind of retouching do you do?
All final images receive professional editing and natural retouching. This includes colour, contrast, and subtle skin cleanup while keeping things realistic and true to you. I don’t over-smooth or drastically alter appearances.
How long does it take to receive the final images?
Typical turnaround is:
- Lifestyle: 5–7 days
- Branding: 7–10 days
You’ll receive your final images via a private online gallery with both high-resolution files and web-optimized versions.
What happens if I need to reschedule?
Sessions can be rescheduled with at least 72 hours’ notice, subject to availability. Retainers are non-refundable, but I’m always happy to work with you to find a new date when notice is given in advance.
