When should I book my portrait session?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for newborn sessions and seasonal family sessions, which tend to fill quickly. Maternity sessions are typically scheduled between 28–34 weeks.
HOW DO I BOOK A PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION WITH YOUR TEAM?
Booking a photography session is easy. Simply reach out to us through our form, and let us know the type of session you're interested in. We'll guide you through the process, discuss your requirements, and find a convenient date and time for your session.
CAN WE CHOOSE THE LOCATION FOR OUR PHOTO SHOOT?
Absolutely! We believe that the location plays a significant role in capturing unique and personalized photographs. Whether it's at your home, a scenic outdoor location, or a venue of your choice, we're open to capturing your portraits in a place that holds meaning to you.
HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL PHOTO SESSION LAST?
The average portrait sessions can take between 45–90 minutes, depending on the session type and number of people involved. Newborn sessions may take a bit longer to allow for feeding and soothing.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE THE FINAL EDITED PHOTOS?
Your fully edited gallery is typically delivered within 2–4 weeks, depending on the complexity of editing required. We prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE WEATHER IS UNFAVORABLE ON THE DAY OF AN OUTDOOR SHOOT?
If the weather doesn't cooperate on the day of an outdoor shoot, we can discuss alternatives such as rescheduling the session or finding an indoor location. We want to ensure the best possible outcome for your photos, and we're flexible in adapting to unforeseen circumstances.
HOW MANY PICTURES WILL WE RECEIVE?
The number of images really depends on the session booked. However, a mini session would typically give 3-5 images while a premium would be a bit more.
HOW SHOULD WE DRESS FOR OUR SESSION?
Once you book, we’ll provide styling guidance to help you choose outfits that photograph beautifully and feel natural. Neutral tones and soft textures tend to work best, but we’ll tailor recommendations to your session.
