How many images are delivered from a 2,5 hour shoot?
For a 2,5 hour shoot, I deliver over 50 images on average, for online viewing and picking with select images duplicated in black and white.
How do I view my images / proofs?
I offer an online secure password-protected gallery from which you can pick your favorites which are then professionally retouched to best look for framing, books, download, or display. All final images are fully retouched.
Where is the location of your studio?
I will be renting a photo studio in Jersey City and Brooklyn ( see location) so you can book a session in the studio, or if you choose a branding package, we can discuss your preferred location for the photo session.
How long does it take to see images?
Approximately 2 weeks. Rush services are available. Digital images are fully retouched, high resolution, delivered to your email, by downloading. No watermarks. Full usage.
Can I purchase more photos beyond what my package includes?
Absolutely! Additional photos from your shoot can always be purchased for $50 each. Other products include keepsake books and prints.
Do you retouch the images?
Yes, I do. All images will be retouched and enhanced and color corrected. That includes the general removal of blemishes, spots, stretch marks, and some skin smoothing.
Who sees my photos?
The photographer and/or retoucher only.
What payments do you accept?
I accept all major credit cards payments, PayPal, and cash.
What about makeup & hair style?
Makeup is included with all of our shoots. I tend to favuor a smokey-eyed, sultry look but I can tailor your look to suit your preference – taking into consideration skin tone and hair color. Feel free to consult with me should you have the desired look you prefer. I offer the option of hair services for an additional $50 – usually a light curl or shaping with a hot iron. Alternatively, arrive with your hair already styled.
How do I prep for the shoot?
A good night’s rest, be hydrated and moisturized. Wear loose-fitting clothing to the shoot to minimize skin marks. Bring a great attitude and be ready to have fun! We send you a prep email beforehand too.
What outfits, clothing or lingerie should I bring?
Bring what makes you feel sexy or comfortable and what fits your figure best. That may be several different pieces, so bring them all. For boudoir, we recommend a dark and light set of bras & panties as they tend to photograph well against different backdrops and are good to have on standby to change things up. Other items aside from lingerie might be your favorite skinny jeans, a form-fitting tee, or favorite blouse — matched with a pair of heels and little else we can create some amazingly sexy looks. Whatever you bring, we’ll be on hand to give you our recommendations. For Glamour portraits it’s good to have a few options, something casual, something colorful, something dressy. Bring what fits you best and you like to wear. And don’t forget accessories! For the photographs, monochromatic outfits work the best. If you choose prints like flowers, they should be larger in size.
What is a monochromatic outfit?
A monochromatic outfit is a look made up of one color or shades of the same color, it means wearing separates of one color that have different textures and/or similar shades of that color for an overall tonal look.
How many different sets will be available in a session?
I have several different sets of backdrops including a couch, elegant chair, upholstered bench and in every session, I use several sets to get a larger set of different photos to choose from.
Will you shoot in my residence or hotel room?
I am happy to shoot on location, contact me, let’s talk about it first.
I’m not a natural born model (who is?), so I’m a bit nervous about posing!
Don’t worry! This is completely normal! I don’t work with professional models so I don’t expect you to know what to do – I’ll guide you thru everything so we get photos that feel natural and real – not stiff and posed.
I hate my (insert body part)…!
We all have those areas we’d like to improve, and even models need retouching. That’s to say, don’t sweat it. We won’t focus on those areas, with correct posing we’ll truly accentuate your natural assets.
