The FAQ
What should we wear?
This is a very important aspect of your shoot and your clothing choice should both be a good representation of you and your family as well as appropriate for professional photographs. My advice is meerly based off of what I believe links in best with my editing style. For in home/studio newborn photos, I tend to advise to go for neutral coloured clothing such as beige, white, camel, khaki. However, I also love incorporating other colours such as blue, pink, yellow, red tones however more 'muted' and not overly bright espeically for outdoor based photos. Also black - is definitely making a comeback and I love the moody vibes of black with maternity photos.
We want to try and steer clear from overly bright clothing or clothing with 'logos' which may take away from the simplicity and overall feel of the photos.
This is something we discuss in more detail, prior to your shoot.
How long have you been doing this?
I have been taking photos with passion and purpose from my early teenage years. However, professionally, I have been doing this for almost 4 years.
How many photos do we get?
It all depends on what collection you choose. You will be given a preview of your entire gallery and then pick your photos based on the collection you have chosen (i.e 25 photos). You have the option to upgrade your package.
How do we get our photos?
All galleries are sent via an online private sharing portal where you will be able to download your high resolution images. You are given two download types; one for developing (full size) and another web size (social media sharing).
Do you retouch photos?
Yes, all photos consist of retouching of blemishes as well as applying my personal presets onto your images which represent my editing style. However in saying this, I do not overly retouch as I love to keep the realness of the individuals too.
Whats your turn around time?
Turn around time is dependent on the season and how booked I am. Currently it is anywhere between 1-2 weeks.
