Preparing for your Photography Session
What to Wear
Most importantly, wear something that you feel great in! If you feel great, it will show in your photos.
Dress in solid colours and avoid busy patterns or logos on clothing. Keep your brand colours in mind, especially if you plan to use the final images on your webpage.
If you’re not sure what to pick, feel free to bring a few options. I’m happy to help you decide!
Don’t forget your accessories - tie clip, simple jewelry, hat, scarves and anything to help show personality and make your outfit complete.
Ladies, professional hair and makeup is highly recommended.
Photo Inspiration and Props
Be sure to pack up some props that help represent you. Your favourite notebook, coffee mug, or anything special that comes to mind.
Speaking of props, if your selected package includes enough time, we can capture some of your branded items such as, letterhead, business cards, or flyers.
Let’s collaborate. Feel free to share any inspiration photos that you like, or link me to your pinterest board to help me get a feel for your vision.
Put together a rough shot list so you don’t forget the photos you need. Consider what specific images you require for your website, flyers, and social media platforms.
FAQ
WHAT IF I’M NOT VERY PHOTOGENIC?
Don’t worry! You are much more photogenic than you think! Your job is to simply relax and be yourself while I guide and direct you.
WHICH LOCATION SHOULD WE CHOOSE?
I’m happy to help decide on the right location for your photoshoot. Our studio locations typically offer a bright, blank canvas, or we can select a location that best represents you.
ARE THE PHOTOS “EDITED”?
After your brand session, you will receive an online gallery with image proofs to review. Once you select your final images, they will be carefully colour corrected. Standard editing, such as cropping, exposure, contrast, retouching, and simple spot removal is included.
Please note, more complex touch ups are completed by a Photoshop expert and are available at an additional cost.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
You will receive your proofs via an online gallery within a few days, and once you select your final images you can expect them back within 1-2 weeks. If you’re on a tight deadline, please let us know and we will work to accommodate your due date.
