Got questions?
Haven’t we all?!
Over the years, I’ve loved all your questions.
Many recur and I’ve collected them all here for you.
Let these guide you…
Q
When should I book my session?
A
Don’t wait, that’s my advice.
There may never be a tomorrow and waiting to shift a little weight or waiting to feel confident, may never happen.
Did you know, I good for a stone just in posing? Not that it should matter, but it may be reassuring to know that
Confidence? That comes during and after your journey with me.
I’ve got you!
Q
Are you an all-female team?
A
Yes.
On shoot day, you get me all to yourself.
If you’re shooting at the studio, and have a makeup artist booked, I have a team to call upon! We’re all women together, all carefully handpicked – the best in the industry.
Q
When are your shoot days?
A
It’s often best to schedule your shoot on a calmer week day, however that depends on your industry!
I don’t want to shoot when you could be earning!
Q
How do your clients know how to pose? They look like models!
A
Thank you so much! I work very hard to ensure that every photo has a touch of finesse.
I will pose you down to your little finger, even pose your hair!
I know how stupidly awkward I suddenly become when a camera is pointed at us. “What should I do with my hands”?!
Q
How long does the shoot last?
A
Your shoot could take up to 4 hours.
It’s designed around you of course.
It may seem ages, however it goes super-fast!
It can take longer if you’ve arranged models. We plan it all out carefully.
Sometimes stopping for lunch/snacks.
It’s a workout, so make sure you’ve nothing else planned for the day, in case we run over.
Q
What should I wear?
A
This is what your Design Consultation is about.
We can talk about your branding colours, your logo, your vibe.
Chatting through your wardrobe and planned outfit changes will ensure you feel 100% ready on the day!
Carefully creating a wish list on a Pinterest board is vital too, I will walk you through every step of the way.
Q
How much retouching do you do?
A
As much as you’d like really.
I don’t change you into someone else though.
I create your photos beautifully ‘in camera’ with gorgeous posing and flattering lighting (I wish a softbox could follow me around all day!) then they receive a final polish in post-processing.
Q
How will I select my chosen collection?
A
You will have your Reveal Session a minimum of 5 days after your big shoot day.
You can choose between ‘in house’ or via a Zoom online meeting.
I am absolutely happy with either for you!
I often book your Reveal Session at your design consultation so you know when this will be and can plan accordingly.
I charge one simple, flat fee of £750 (all images) so no sales are required!
For your convenience, I do take PayPal Credit and I’m partnered with Klarna.
Q
Will you share my portraits?
A
ONLY with your written/signed permission.
I am very used to being commissioned by professionals, it means so much when you do agree to let me share!
If they are for your marketing, I’d hope you’d agree to me sharing too.
Your portraits are saved on a locked away, password protected server (not cloud) under a number, not your name.
Q
I’m across the country from you, are you happy to travel to me, if I’m not shooting at the studio?
A
Absolutely!
If it’s over 90 mins drive away, I do require overnight accommodation.
I charge for the nights either side of the shoot days, plus travel.
If you’re joining me at the studio, I am lucky to have some very lovely hotels close by and Airbnb. The area is a popular holiday destination!
Details can be provided on request.
Q
Why do I need to pay a booking deposit?
A
I take a £50 redeemable booking fee at the time of booking, to secure my diary from changes.
