WHAT TO EXPECT:
Before the photoshoot, we will have a detailed discussion about your vision and expectations for the session. We will also carefully review wardrobe choices, hair and makeup styles, preferred locations, and any other specific details related to the shoot. Throughout the photoshoot, I will offer guidance and ensure that the lighting is optimal to capture stunning photos of you. I believe in keeping you involved in the process by showing you the images as we go along to make sure we are aligned on the desired lighting, look, and atmosphere. Following the shoot, we will meticulously review each image either in person or through a proofing gallery. Once you have selected your desired images, I dedicate hours to enhancing each one individually using advanced Photoshop techniques. This includes color adjustments, blemish removal, and enhancing the overall background and surroundings of the photo. I do not rely on filters or automated processes for retouching; each image is treated with care and attention to detail. After the editing process is complete, you will receive all the digital images through a convenient online gallery where you can also explore various print options. For information on group rates, please reach out to me directly. Please note that school sports photos/composites & Holiday mini sessions follow a different pricing model.
WARDROBE:
We highly recommend bringing a variety of different cuts, colors, and necklines to your photo shoot. For our corporate clients, we encourage men to bring several jacket/shirt/tie combinations and women to bring various options of blouse/dress/jacket ensembles. It's best to avoid busy prints and patterns. Keep jewelry simple - opt for studs or small earrings and dainty necklaces. If you prefer bold accessories, feel free to bring them along! If you wear glasses, bring multiple pairs to check for glare, including frames without lenses. When in doubt, bring it all! Layers are great for actors, regardless of the season - from t-shirts to sweaters, have fun mixing and matching. If you feel your wardrobe needs a boost, consider adding some new pieces. Let's make your photo shoot a stylish and enjoyable experience!
HAIR & MAKEUP:
We can suggest local hair and makeup artists. If you prefer to do it on your own, please come ready for the camera.
