FAQs
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
The first thing you should know - there’s no need to be nervous. No one expects you to be a professionally trained model. Nor is that needed! We’re just two people hanging out, taking pictures, and enjoying the moment. Half of the time you won’t need to do anything at all, just relax and be yourself I will be with you every step of the way and guide you through the whole process.
BUT you could also check out the EXPERIENCE page for some more details.
What should I wear?
Whatever you feel comfortable in. You can dress up if you wish to do so, you’re the star of the show, after all. It’s completely up to you. Consider wearing an outfit that you choose when you want to dress up, but just a little. The one that’s not your fanciest, but it just gives you that extra confidence, because it’s just so…You.
We will also discuss this during your FREE planning call.
Are you available outside Orange, Ulster & Dutchess (NY) Counties?
I am readily available to work in Orange, Ulster, & Dutchess Counties. If you wish to book me for a session outside my 30-mile radius of Walden NY, fill out the contact form, be sure to state where you are located, so we can work something out.
Where does the photoshoot take place?
The whole idea of lifestyle & branding sessions are to tell the story of you, your business, and your personality! Therefore, the best locations for your shoot are where you work, and places unique to you that you enjoy, or match your brand tone. This could be your home office, studio, gym, coffee shop, downtown, or even nature!
If your office space isn't conducive for a photo session, don't worry! There are fabulous locations that can be rented out such as studio spaces or a bed and breakfast (for an additional fee). We talk through this during our strategy session and will help in finding studio spaces best suited for your needs.
Do I have to order my prints through you?
You certainly are not required to purchase your prints from me! They are yours to print & post as you'd like. It is my goal to offer print options in the near future, so keep an eye out for that!
Do you offer makeup?
Yes! I have a couple wonderful makeup gals.
Upon booking, I will need to know if you want to book this service for an additional fee & to confirm availability for the day of your session.
What do I need to bring with me?
We will discuss together everything you’ll need to bring once we’ve customized your photo session, but here are some items to think about:
- Outfits of choice
- Shoes, (consider if you need multiple pairs if you're adding oufit changes)
- Hairbrush or hairspray
- Makeup to re-touch
- Lipgloss or chapstick
- Accessories (hats, jewelry, sunglasses, purses, etc)
- Business items you work off of such as cell phone, laptop, books, notepad, pens, magazines, journals, iPad, worksheets (items that can paint a picture for your future clients of what it would be like to work with you)
- Water
These are absolutely NOT REQUIRED, bring what you think you'll need & what will make you feel most comfortable!
