Frequently asked questions
?
Q1). Do you give RAWS/Originals?
I do not. RAW images are honestly straight from my camera, and are considered to be unfinished work. Why? After our session in order to completely fulfill your experience with me, I need to finish the recipe with my magic touch.
Q2). What is your processing time?
Photo Sessions: 4-5 weeks. Expedited processing 2 weeks turnaround (if available) for a $300 additional fee.
Q3). What do you Edit/Retouch? Photoshop?
Each photo is edited. I only remove today's problems such as bruises, scratches, and acne. I do NOT remove anything that is permanently part of you, such as stretch marks, birth marks, and scars that your body has preserved. They tell your story and will be with you forever, and I believe they should be documented that way! Your skin is slightly brushed over during my editing process, but I don’t do any heavy retouching or body modification. I have never liked the idea of photoshopping humans to make them look acceptable to themselves. I do my best to talk any insecurities, best sides prior to our session to capture the best version of YOU.
Q4). Can I select my own photos to be edited?
Yes. All selections are carefully chosen by you. This also affects processing time if its not done within a few days of receiving the proof gallery.
Q5). Do you give sneak peeks?
No. I believe in giving you the full on experience viewing your whole gallery when delivered. Sneak peeks take that away. My booking and workflow time does not allow me either way.
Q6). How do we receive our images?
All my galleries are delivered through an online private website. You will have access to share with family/friends and download high resolution images. I highly recommend to download ALL images onto your computer/hard drive. Print release is also given to client at the time of delivery.
Q7). Do you give prints?
No I do not, but will gladly guide you to some of my favorite print shops!
Q8). What should I wear?
What you wear becomes one of the most important keys of your session. It determines the whole mood/vibe of your session! I recommend to stay away from any bright/neon colors. Try sticking more to neutral colors. I have nothing against shapes, styles or textures! Just giving you some recommendations. I want you to be comfortable at your session. If that means comfy plain tee with some jeans or some elegance dressy wear with some sharp looking shoes!
My client closet is also available for use, it only includes a variety of women dresses/maternity wear. Sizes are limited.
