Q&A

Frequently asked questions from clients and answers to them. If you have any questions, text to me on social networks.

How far in advance should I book a portrait photography session?

Most clients book their portrait session 1-2 weeks in advance. This gives us plenty of time to choose a location, plan outfits, and make sure you feel fully prepared. Need something sooner? I sometimes have last-minute spots-just ask!

How do I book a photo session with you?

Simply fill out the contact form on this page or message me directly via WhatsApp. I’ll get back to you promptly to discuss your vision, pick a date, and get everything set up.

Do you require a photography deposit to hold my date?

Yes, a 50% deposit is required to secure your booking. The remaining balance is due on the day of your session. This ensures your date is reserved exclusively for you.

What’s included in your photography packages?

Each package includes a professional photo session, full retouching of the selected images, and delivery of high-resolution photos via an online gallery. Contact me for detailed pricing and package options.


What should I wear for a portrait session?

Wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable! Solid colors and simple patterns tend to photograph beautifully. Avoid large logos or very busy prints. I’m happy to give personalized advice before your session.


How long does a typical portrait session last?

Most sessions run between 1-2 hours, giving us plenty of time to try different looks, locations, and poses without feeling rushed.

How long will it take to get my photos?

You’ll receive your fully edited, high-resolution photos within 1 week of your session via a private online gallery.

Do you retouch all of the photos?

Yes! Every delivered photo is professionally retouched. I focus on natural-looking edits that enhance your best features while keeping everything authentic.


Where do photo sessions take place?

We can shoot in studio. I’ll help you choose the perfect spot based on the style you’re looking for.


Can I print my photos anywhere?

Absolutely! The high-resolution files you receive are print-ready and can be printed at any professional print lab or local print shop.

What happens if it rains or I need to reschedule my photoshoot?

No worries! Life happens. I offer flexible rescheduling — just let me know at least 48 hours in advance and we’ll find a new date that works for both of us.

Will you share my portraits online or on social media?

I may share select images on my website or social media to showcase my work, but only with your permission. Your privacy matters and I always respect your wishes.
