My process
Shooting
My portrait sessions usually last 2 hours and are customized to your needs.
Before the shoot, we will have a discussion or consultation where we go over what your
needs are in terms of style, location and props.
When you arrive, I will provide time for any touch-ups, and we can try out different
outfits if you are still making up your mind on what you would prefer.
Next, I will have everything set up for you and I will adjust the lighting to suit you. Then
we will try some different poses until we find what you’re looking for!
I will typically take between 200 and 300 photos, so there’s no need to stress. We will
get the shots you want!
Editing and post-process
My typical photoshoot emphasizes a natural look, lighting does most of the
work.
Retouching is included in my portrait fee but anything beyond that has additional costs
(50$/hour).
After the shoot, we set up a time when we will review the proofs together and pick your
favourite ones!
I will share an online gallery with you within a week. Feel free to contact me if you would
like to get prints.
