What can I do to prepare for my photoshoot?

The number one thing I recommend for my clients to do, for their portrait sessions especially, is to look inward and decide on what and who they want to portray in their images. You can never take a "wrong" or "bad" photo, it just depends on if that's how you want to be perceived. Find your inner diva, boss, or model and I will capture that for you perfectly.

Come as you are!



Can I bring my friend for support?

Uhhh yes please! Sometimes my photoshoots are like mini parties so the more the merrier!

Please do what makes you most comfortable, and if that means bringing your besties, go for it.

Can I have the RAW images?

Okay let's talk terminology. JPEGs are what you upload to Facebook, Instagram, or get printed. RAW files (this is what comes right out of my camera) contain much more information and are huge files, and software like Photoshop or Lightroom is required to even be able to open them. If I sent them to you as they came out of the camera, you couldn’t do anything with them without running them through special software. Until the photo is edited, the image is not finished, and that’s by design.

A RAW photo is like a carpenter having a woodshop full of tools and materials to build a table, and the ability to create whatever he wants. A JPEG is like buying a table from him finished. 

What if the weather is bad on the day of my session?

We can definitely reschedule! I leave several spots open in my calendar on purpose because there will be days where the weather is less than preferred.

What if we run over the allotted time?

That's completely okay, not a big deal! I'm not focused on cutting off our shoot right at the exact time, I'm focused on making sure we get the best pictures possible for you. Unless I have another commitment that I have to go to, we don't need to worry about slightly going over the time (within reason of course).
