Frequently Asked Questions
- Are you a licensed and insured business?
Yes I have my business license and insurance.
- What equipment do you use?
I am a NIKON girl all the way! My camera is Nikon D780 and my go to lens is 50 mm although I do own other lenses as well.
- I am not photogenic and the people on your website are so beautiful..Can I do this?
First of all it is not your job to be photogenic. It’s mine and I am always up for a challenge. Secondly the beautiful people on my website are everyday men and women who came to my studio for a “model-like” experience. For woman this includes professional hair and make-up with lashes, guided posing with styling & most importantly time to relax and have fun. For men, it is the same (without the hair and make-up) and therefore a shorter session.
- How many photos can I expect and when?
Depending on the type of a session you have, you can pick your favourite images to be edited right after the session or I chose to edit anywhere from 20-40 images which usually takes 2-3 weeks.
- Can I just get digitals?
I offer digital option for headshots only. All other portrait packages include matted prints with corresponding digital files of every image you purchase, sized to the purchased size.
- Additional prints and wall art can be ordered through me directly.
- I just need a couple quick photos...?
I am going to be upfront with you here.. If you looking for just couple quick images I am not the photographer you are looking for. I strive in providing the best possible experience I can to my clients by creating a custom session to each client that results in professional crafted images that my clients love and cherish. My sessions are between 2 to 4 hours long and I am super proud of that.
- What do I wear??
You should wear whatever makes you feel beautiful and confident! I encourage you to bring variety of outfits. We can also create something specifically for your photoshoot, which is part of the fun.
General guidelines are:
- Fitted clothes (Avoid baggy tops with lots of volume)
- Solid colours or conservatives patterns (avoid logos or pinstripes)
- Collars and necklines that lay flat
- Make sure you coordinate tops & bottoms
- Double check you have the proper undergarments for your tops & dresses and that they are the proper fit.
- Simple black turtleneck goes a long way..
- Sparkles and lace are always fun..
- You can choose to be casual, business serious or glamorous..or all!! The choice is yours!
