-
Can I have my spouse, friend or family included in my photo session?Absolutely! We understand that even though this is a celebration of you, your loved ones are a part of your story. You'd have your hair and makeup done anyway so it's a perfect opportunity to get those photos you've been wanting for a while now - couple, family, boudoir, glamour, headshots,... it's perfectly fine. All we ask is that you inform us ahead of the shoot during the consult so we can make adequate preparations.
-
I am not photogenic & don't like the way I look in pictures. Will I love my photos?I don't believe there is anyone who is not photogenic. We have had lots of clients in the past with this fear and their minds were completely changed when they saw the results. It's your photographer's job to make you look good in pictures using a combination of professional skills - outfit styling, flattering angles, the right camera lens, colours, etc. Remember, we have a styling consultation ahead of your shoot and our makeup artist would have glammed you up as much or as little as you want to enhance your best features - you'd be super confident and feel on top of the world even before I take the first shot. You are beautiful and I promise to photograph you in the most flattering way while capturing your authenticity. I guide you every step of the way so you have absolutely nothing to worry about. That's what you are paying me for.
-
How much can I expect to spend?Get ready to fall in love with many of your images - in love with YOU like never before. Some clients spend $2,000 and others spend $7,000 or more. What you purchase is entirely up to you - my job is to take the most beautiful images of yourself you have ever seen so you want them all. Here's what I tell my clients "Only buy what you love". You get to choose how you want to enjoy the images from our world-class selection of products, including exquisite albums, stunning wall art, and elegant folio boxes.

Can I get professional makeup done?Professional makeup is a complimentary service we offer and always included in the sessions. You deserve to be pampered and our team of makeup artists are itching to glam you up like they've done for many others!
-
I don't have what to wear.This is a very common question we get! Firstly, don't stress about wardrobe. We understand that selecting the perfect outfits for your session can be challenging. That's why we offer a pre-session wardrobe styling consult where we discuss clothing options and provide recommendations based on your personal style. In addition, you are welcome to go through our studio closet to pick dresses and pieces of outfits to complement your own wardrobe. We love creating pieces with you.
-
Do you have sessions on Saturdays? I work during the week.I'm a mum to three young boys and love to be there for my family over the weekends so I work mostly on weekdays. I however offer only 2 Saturday slots every month for client sessions. So if you absolutely want a Saturday session, book quick. And you're worth it if you have to take one day off work for yourself. You already do for your kids or Dr's appointments when needed.
-
Can I change into multiple outfits during the session?Absolutely! We encourage you to bring different outfits to the session. Changing outfits allows for a variety of looks, showing the different amazing sides to you - goofy, feminine, career professional/business owner, sister, lover, etc. You already took the time off work, hair and makeup professionally done so why not make the most of it! You can have up to 6 different outfits/looks.
-
Can I do my own makeup before coming?If you are very proficient with makeup application, then yes, you are welcome to come to your portrait session wearing your preferred makeup. However, we highly recommend that you consider having your makeup professionally done by our expert makeup artist. We offer makeup services that are specifically designed to complement the natural beauty of our clients and to help them look and feel their best during their portrait session. This is a complimentary service at no extra charge.

How long will the session take?It starts with your makeover, multiple outfit changes with various backgrounds and lastly, viewing the gorgeous images we just created. You can expect to spend 4-5 hours in the studio on the day of your shoot. Makeup - 1hr to 1hr15mins Photo session - 2.5 -3.5hrs hrs (depending on how many looks you choose and if you are including someone or family in your session) Viewing & Ordering session - 45 mins
