What to Expect
Professionalism, Safety and Respect:
A private photo session is a safe space for both you the client and myself, the photographer.
I am experienced in working with people who are uncomfortable with "a camera in their face". The more comfortable you are, the easier your personality shines through during the photo shoot.
Once you become a client (deposit paid = client), you have the opportunity to meet with me or we can schedule a phone call so that I can consult on your vision for your photo shoot and you can receive any clarity you may need. We can delve deeper into the brainstorming and concept development for the photo shoot. This lets me know you are investing in yourself and in the art we will create.
A photo (face only/clothed) is required of anyone I work with beforehand - regardless of the shoot you are booking - so that I know who I will be working with.
Creativity and Play:
Be prepared to have fun! Your involvement in the creative process is encouraged. These images are for your portfolios, company websites, acting CV, anniversary presents, branding, album covers, dating profiles or for personal growth so the aim is to capture all aspects of who you are.
How you choose to pose is up to you - you do it, I’ll shoot it. Feel free to share your ideas or bring props you'd like to use during your portrait photo shoot. But I do make suggestions for editorial and conceptual images and I will give verbal cues to increase the variety of poses and moods so don't worry if you don't know how to pose or don't feel "like a model".
Being open to trying interesting poses and experimenting will result in remarkable photos. I never get tired of hearing, "Wow, that's me?" when a client receives their photos!
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ WHAT PAST AND REPEAT CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY AND TO READ THE FAQS
