Question 2

Can I bring a friend to the shoot?

Accepted Answer

Yes, bringing a friend to your shoot is highly recommended. Additionally, there are special offers available when you book together for a double shoot or back-to-back sessions. Feel free to inquire about these options during your consultation.

Question 3

Do you retouch the photos?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. While Photoshop can minimize or eliminate common imperfections, the approach is to celebrate the real you. With perfected lighting and posing techniques, your best features are highlighted, regardless of body type, curves, or age. Rather than altering your appearance, Photoshop is used to enhance and refine your images while keeping them authentic and true to you.

Question 4

I don't know how to pose; is that okay?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that's perfectly fine. Many clients have little to no experience in front of the camera. Throughout the session, you will receive guidance on posing to ensure you look and feel your best. The goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident, capturing your essence in every shot.
