Before: How to prepare for your photo shoot

1. Share your ideas. If you have a vision for the end result, share it with me. I am open to trying anything and am excited to bring your vision to life.
2. Know what you want: Be sure to share your idea's with me. But be open to my creative suggestions as well and don't forget sometimes what we think may look good, the camera disagree's.
3. Ask me anything! I want to ensure you are comfortable with the process from beginning to end.
4. Plan accordingly. We are often shooting in remote locations or spaces that do not have change room or bathroom access. Please be prepared to change in your vehicle or outside if necessary. (Feel free to inquire about outfit idea's, I'd love to help you choose your best options)

During your session

1. Have fun. I'm here to have fun with you, so let's make this experience one to remember.
2. Arrive on time. This goes for me, too! If you are running late, please just let me know.
3. Breathe. It is sometimes nerve-racking to be in front of the camera so remember to take your time and relax. Don't worry, I'll guide you through where to look and how to stand to look your best. I GOT YOU!
4. Communicate.Nothing is off limits, I'm an open book, so talk to me if something is on your mind. I'm open to any questions or conversations.

After your photography session

1. Delivery. I will choose your gallery selects and begin retouching, colour correcting, and editing your images in a timely fashion. My photos are delivered through a secure program and they come digitally in an email that contains your gallery password and download pin. Please save your images to a trusted device/backup upon receiving them.
2. Review. Once you have the images, pick out your favorites! I love feedback and honest reporting on your images and which ones you love the most. Additional edits may take place based on your request!
3. Referrals. The greatest compliment you can give is to tell your friends and family about me or to book another shoot.
