Preparing for Your Shoot
How should I prepare for my session?
I’ll guide you every step of the way. A preparation guide will be sent before your shoot, covering what to bring, wardrobe options, and tips to help you feel relaxed and ready.
What should I wear to my photoshoot?
Bring outfits that make you feel confident and beautiful. Classic, well-fitted clothing always photographs well. Don’t stress too much — I’ll help you select the perfect looks during your consultation.
Will hair and makeup be provided?
Yes. Professional hair and makeup are included in every session, ensuring you feel polished and camera-ready.
Can we plan looks and styling together?
Absolutely. We’ll discuss wardrobe and styling ideas beforehand, tailoring the session to your personal style and the mood you’d like to create.
During the Photoshoot
Where is your studio located?
My studio is in North London, by White Hart Lane Station, with convenient transport links and parking available nearby. Directions will be provided once you book.
How long will my photoshoot last?
Sessions typically last 3–4 hours, giving us plenty of time for wardrobe changes, styling, and a relaxed experience.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes, you’re welcome to bring a friend, partner, or family member for moral support. Please let me know in advance so I can make sure the studio space is comfortable for everyone.
I feel nervous — I’m not a model. Will I know what to do?
Most of my clients have never been professionally photographed before. That’s exactly why I guide you through every pose and angle. My job is to make you look and feel your best — so you can relax, enjoy, and trust the process.
After the Photoshoot
When will I see my photos?
About a week after your session, we’ll meet at the studio (or via Zoom if preferred) for your image reveal and ordering appointment.
How many images will I receive?
The number of images depends on your chosen collection. You’ll see a carefully curated selection at your reveal, usually between 25–40 portraits to choose from.
What is your retouching philosophy?
My goal is for you to look like you — authentic, radiant, and confident. Retouching is subtle: I smooth skin, refine tones, and remove temporary blemishes if requested. Permanent features like scars or stretch marks are part of your story, and I only adjust them if you specifically ask.
Privacy & Image Rights
Will my photos be shared online?
Your privacy is always respected. Images are only shared with your permission. If you’d like your portraits kept completely private, they will remain for your eyes only.
Who owns the rights to my photos?
I retain the copyright as the photographer, but you receive personal-use rights with every image you purchase. This allows you to print, share, and enjoy your portraits however you wish.
