What should I wear for my portrait session?
Wear something that feels like you. Confidence beats fashion trends every time. Solid colours usually play nicer with the camera than loud patterns, but rules are made to be broken. The main thing is that you should feel smashing in your clothes. The way you feel will show up in the final photos. You should love what you wear, full stop.
If you want extra help, I can book us a stylist. I work with a group of freelancers who are great at what they do. It is totally optional but could be worth it if you want someone to fine tune the details.

Where will the session take place?
We can shoot at a location of your choice, outdoors, at your home, or in a studio. Not sure what works best? I can suggest spots that always look great in portraits. I am happy to travel for a session as long as expenses are covered. Some locations, like studios, may have an extra cost, but we can figure it out together.

I’m not comfortable in front of the camera. Can you help?
Haha, absolutely. Photography is about 80 percent being a psychologist anyway. Even with all the selfies and constant recording these days, feeling awkward in front of a camera is normal. Don’t worry, it’s my job to help you drop your guard and forget the camera is even there.

How many photos will I receive?
It depends on the shoot and the package you choose. Some sessions yield fewer images, some more. My last half-day session gave a client almost 200 final images, which works out to less than $10 per image.
All delivered images go through editing and are ready to share or print. During the shoot we proof images together so you can give feedback and we can adjust on the fly. From the final set you will choose a few for high-end retouching and that extra polish. Think of it as a collaborative process where we make sure every photo counts.

Do you retouch the images?
Yes. You will receive a complete set of high-resolution images, the ones you picked during the shoot, not placeholders or previews. Each image is carefully edited for colour, tone, contrast, and clarity so it looks polished but still feels like you.
The amount of high-end retouching depends on the package you choose. From your final set, you pick portraits for that extra polish. This is slow, detailed work where every element is considered, from skin tone and texture to flyaways, wrinkles, and background distractions. It is not about changing who you are. It is about making a flawless image that truly represents you.
If you want additional high-end retouched images or black and white versions, that can be arranged for an additional fee.

How long does it take to receive my photos?
You will usually get your final images within a week. Shoot on Monday and your photos should arrive by the end of the week. Weekend shoots usually land midweek. High-end retouching takes additional time depending on your feedback.

Can I bring a friend, partner, or pet to the session?
Of course. Bring anyone who makes you feel comfortable. Usually it adds energy and fun, though sometimes the group dynamic can make things more challenging. Either way, we make it work.
You can also book shoots together. I do this all the time for couples, friends, and pets.

Do you accept non-monetary exchanges?
Yes. While my prices are listed in dollars, I don’t believe money is the only way to honor value. I also welcome exchanges of equal worth in other forms - skills, services, or something meaningful you bring to the table.
For me, the important thing is that the exchange feels fair and balanced for both of us. If you have an idea for a non-monetary exchange, I’d love to hear it. Let’s explore what working together could look like.
