1. How many photos do I get?
You will get your choice of 2 images, lightly retouched and edited as needed. Plus, you will get all the photos in your proof gallery, which is usually about 20, but these will be unedited.
2. Can I purchase more edited photos if I want?
Yes, additional photos can be purchased for $25 each.Â
3. Where do we do the sessions?
I have a home-based studio in Langford, near Florence Lake. If you aren't familiar with the area, that's about 5 minutes NE of Costco! Outdoor sessions are done in a park in View Royal.
4. Can I choose a different location for my session?
If you have a group of people and would like me to come to your workplace or office, I can come to you! Special locations are considered for 3 people or more.
5. What should I wear?
Clothing choice will depend on the look you are going for. If you want a business headshot, choose dressier clothes than for a casual lifestyle portraits. As for colors, I normally tell people to stay away from tones that look like their own skin color – as I’ve seen photos where people tend to look “naked”. Textures (like knitted sweaters) look great, but avoid large patterns/prints and big logos. It might be worthwhile to consider where this photo will end up… is it going on your website which is mostly blue? Then a blue shirt might match well, for example!
6. Why are studio sessions shorter?
Because we don't need walking time to/from the location, and the lights and everything are all set up exactly how we need them when you arrive. Studio sessions are generally about 10 to 15 minutes. Outdoor sessions are about 15 to 20 minutes (we will walk to and from the meeting point together). That said, I'm not a hard stickler for the exact number of minutes; more important is that we get a photo that you love! If we can do this in a few minutes less time, I consider it a win! If we need a few extra minutes, that's ok too!
7. I need photos for my modeling/acting agency. Can you do that?
Yes! You might want to book the longer session if you want to do an outfit change, but generally even the short headshot session can suffice for acting or modeling headshots.
8. Do you have a group rate?
Yes! Please contact me with the number of people in your group, the location you wish to have your session and I'll provide a quote. 🙂
