FAQS
Do you travel?
Yes! Although, I try very hard to keep my environmental footprint as low as possible, so I travel by train or bus when I can (easily done throughout Europe).
Can I rebook if the weather is bad?
Possibly, yes. I am ready to shoot in all weather scenarios and sometimes moody weather can make for the best pictures! But I understand that not everyone wants to shoot in the rain, so if we see in the report that it's going to be wet, we can try to rebook. I will start checking the weather report a week ahead just so we can prepare for what's to come. Rebooking is not guaranteed, it depends on whether or not our schedules will align last minute. I will always try my best to make it work!
How should I prepare for my photos?
This depends on which session you're after. But some common things to think about- do you want your nails done? Do you want a professional hair/makeup artist? Are you physically ready for whatever adventure you've booked with me? Do you have the right shoes, and will you need a pair of slip-ons or extra socks handy? Are you and your partner on the same page about what to wear and ready to put your game faces on?
What should I wear to my photo shoot?
Make sure you're wearing complimenting colours with your partner, and better yet, have a colour pallet you are working with. Please do not fully match! 90% of the time, you look back on those photos and think "what did I do?!". There are times when it works, but just make sure this is one of those times if that's what you want. Try to avoid patterns, particularly small ones (a flannel shirt is still ok, for example, because the pattern is big). Small patterns and lines can mess with the quality of the photo in bizarre ways. Solid colours are best, and ones that aren't too bright/fluorescent. Neutral, muted, and pastel tones/colours are great. Keep in mind any tan lines you may have, or anything you want to hide.
How does your pricing work?
My packages are all customizable. I have a document with them, so please shoot me an email and I can send you my packages that way. That being said, to find what fits for you, a custom package is often best. 85% of my clients spend between €5000-€8500.
