WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
This is literally my most common FAQ question, so don't feel silly for asking for a little guidance on how to show up to our session looking your best! I always tell my clients to dress in what makes them feel comfortable (I don't mean matching sweatsuit comfortable either, FYI) and confident! A good rule of thumb is to dress within complimentary colour families and to avoid having everyone wear the exact same thing. For example, if your group wears outfits of coordinating cream, navy and grey colours, you'll photograph really well together! If your group all wears black t-shirts and dark blue jeans, you'll look like one big blob and you'll get lost in the photograph. If you're still a little lost and not sure where to start, don't worry! I've created a Style Guide that I can send over at the time of booking to help you sort out the best outfits for your session.
UP FOR TRAVEL?
Yep! If you have a cool location in mind for your session out of town, province or even out of country, let me know! I do charge a travel fee that reimburses me for any travel expenses. Each travel fee is calculated specifically for the required travel for your event (plane fare, lodging, rental car, etc.)
WHO PICKS THE LOCATION?
I have my list of favourite locations that I like to shoot at; I love doing on-site photography in grassy, natural, conservation areas so I have some secret spots I like to bring my clients to in order to achieve that vibe! But, if you have a location that you'd love to check-out, let me know! I'll always try to accommodate you. Please keep in mind that some locations have photography restrictions or additional photography fees. If your desired location has an additional fee for permits or access, you'll be responsible for that fee.
DO I EDIT MY PHOTOS?
You bet! Every single image you receive in your final gallery has been hand edited by yours truly. After we're done shooting, I go through the sometimes hundreds of photographs that we've taken during our session and cull them down to a digestible gallery where I edit the images into a cohesive aesthetic. This "cohesive aesthetic" is something that I maintain to represent my brand; if you look at my socials, you'll get a good idea of what my editing style is like. I love earthy, natural tones, moody vibes and your natural beauty to shining through. That being said, I don't edit every single session the exact same way because people are different, what makes sense for one session might not work for the next. Just like how all bodies are different, all sessions are different and I don't believe that as photographers, we should just slap a preset on it and call it a day; every session is a new experience and might need a different kind of loving compared to the last. Keep in mind that while I do edit my photographs into a cohesive aesthetic, I do not do any extreme body modification (I.E.: post-session "nip and tuck") editing. Please note, I don't release any RAW or unedited photographs.
