Session Details & Preparation
9. What should I wear for my photoshoot?
Clothing choice depends on the type of shoot you're having. For portraits, neutral or solid colors often work best as they don't distract from the subject. If you're unsure, we can offer suggestions based on your shoot's theme or location. Avoid clothes with logos, excessive patterns, or bright fluorescent colors.

10. Can I bring props to my photoshoot?
Yes! We encourage you to bring props that reflect your personality or theme of the shoot. For family sessions, toys, blankets, or sentimental items can add a personal touch. For professional or commercial shoots, items that highlight your brand or service can be great additions.

11. How long will my photoshoot last?
The length of your photoshoot will depend on the package you select and the type of session. Typically, portrait sessions last 1-2 hours, while events can range from 4-10 hours. Commercial shoots may require longer sessions depending on the complexity.

12. What happens if I need to reschedule my photoshoot?
We understand that life can be unpredictable! If you need to reschedule, please notify us as soon as possible. We will do our best to accommodate a new date. Please note that rescheduling within 48 hours of the shoot may incur an additional fee.

13. What if the weather is bad on the day of my photoshoot?
For outdoor shoots, we monitor the weather closely. If the weather is unfavorable, we will work with you to reschedule or move the session indoors (if possible). If rescheduling isn't an option, we can provide recommendations for alternative indoor locations.

Post-Shoot & Deliverables
14. When will I receive my photos?
After your session, the editing process typically takes 1-3 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of the edits. We will notify you once your photos are ready for viewing.

15. How will I receive my photos?
We deliver the final edited images via Dropbox. Dropbox will allow you to download the high-resolution images directly to your device. If you prefer a physical USB drive or printed copies, we offer those as additional options at an additional cost.

16. Can I make changes to my photos after delivery?
We offer a set number of revisions for images, which typically include basic edits such as color correction and cropping. If you request significant changes or additional retouching, there may be additional fees.

17. Will I receive all the photos taken during the shoot?
You will receive a selection of the best images, professionally edited. We do not provide all raw images, as they may include unflattering or unpolished shots. However, if you wish to purchase raw images, we can discuss this option, please go to Investment page.
