Frequently asked questions
What is your photography style?
I would like to capture your natural, organic candid moments. Of course, there will be some element of direction for some activities and composition, but I'll make sure to capture your genuine moments to treasure for a lifetime. It is a mixture of conventional, documentary and lifestyle photography.
How do I book a session/event with you?
You can directly e-mail me at [email protected] or fill out the contact form.
What is included in a family/portrait session fee?
Session fee covers my time with you to capture and document you and your loved ones. Further this includes: consultation to plan and arrange your session, delivering a fully edited private online gallery with a minimum of 60 images (usually my clients get more than 100 images), setting up a secure online gallery.
What happened after a session?
Once your session is over, within 2-4 weeks time you will receive a link to access your fully edited secure online gallery to view your images. Then you have the option to select one of the collections; Gold, Silver or Bronze after viewing the images. You may upgrade the collections with individual products (additional images, albums, photo prints, wall arts) at an additional cost.
Do you offer maternity photo sessions?
Yes, I do. It is under the standard portrait/family sessions.
What time of day can we do our session?
I normally shoot family/portrait sessions on the weekends, 1-2 hours before the sunset or around sunrise time. Remember the sunset time in late autumn and winter is much earlier than the other times.
What should I wear for a session?
It's your day and your session and your investment. First thing, is that you should be you and nothing else. If you don't like to wear dressy cloths, then don't wear them. Instead, wear something that is comfortable for you and your family. If you are into sport, then dress sporty. Likewise, try to find nice clean cloths that fits your style and who you are. Important thing is to wear something comfortable! When choosing colours, try to find colours that complement each other rather than trying to find matching colours. Also, I strongly recommend not to wear cloths with strong graphics/logos or with florescent/luminous colours. A good place for colour inspiration is Pinterest, and search for colour palettes that complement each other. There are plenty to match your style. Also, don't forget to wear your best cloths, shoes and accessories for your session.
