Frequently Asked Questions
How many photos will I get after the photoshoot?
You will get between 5 to 15 professionally processed photos.
Why are you doing photo shoots for free?
The reason I’m doing photo sessions for free is for me to be able to promote my portrait portfolio and myself as a portrait photographer on social media or on my website. For this, two things are important:
you would need to sign a document where you agree with me using the photos
you need to prepare for the photoshoot, to make sure the photos are stelar
How do I prepare for the photoshoot?
Getting Ready for Our Shoot! To help us pick the perfect location and lock in a date & time that offers the best lighting for your vision, could you share the following?
Define the Vibe: What energy are we aiming for? Whether it’s playful, moody, professional, or candid, having a clear "mood" helps us stay on the same page.
Wardrobe & Style: Start thinking about outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable. Feel free to bring options!
Visual Inspiration: Pictures speak louder than words. Please create a Pinterest board (or a saved folder) with poses or lighting you love. I’d be happy to jump in and add suggestions if you get stuck!
Comfort & Needs: Let me know if there are any specific constraints, accessibility needs, or "must-have" shots we need to prioritize.
What is your editing process, and how many photos will I receive?
The photoshoot itself is just the beginning! I believe in quality over quantity, which is why I put a significant amount of love into the post-processing phase. Here is what happens after we wrap the session:
The Culling: We usually end a session with between 500 to 1000 raw photos. I personally review every single one to filter out blinks, motion blur, or distractions.
The Selection: From that initial set, I narrow it down to the top ~100 images, selecting only the best expressions and composition from each location.
The Polish: This is where your photos truly come to life. I spend approximately 10 minutes hand-processing each selected photo to ensure the color grading, lighting, and mood are perfect.
The Delivery: For a standard session, you will receive 5-15 final, high-end images.
The Bottom Line: This process adds up to over 8 hours of editing time per session, ensuring that every image you receive is polished, professional, and ready to use.
