How to prepare for your Family & Kids sessions:
Family Fine Art
It's very important that for the family shots we will need everyone to wear plain clothes (clothes in a similar shade). Please avoid patterns and strong colors. Don't wear tracksuit, sweatshirt, t-shirt and any sports clothes. If you wish to have outfits prepared for you, please let us know at least 2 weeks before the session, prepared outfits are extra charge.
If our clients decide to use different colors and realize after the photoshoot that they are not as good as they thought, we will not change colors of backgrounds in post production.

DO YOU HAVE AN ASSISTANT OR WILL BE OTHER PEOPLE WITH YOU AT
THE SESSION?
WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?
Usually a second photographer is in place. He is my assistant who helps me during the session. If it is important to you, ask about it before the photo session.
I find it works best to keep things neutral; grey, navy and white are all great choices and try to coordinate your outfits without being too matchy! Choose outfits that you feel happy and comfortable. You should avoid patterns and logos to keep the images timeless.
DO YOU WORK ON WEEKENDS?
Yes, I do it but for an extra charge. Additional cost 50 pounds.
CAN I PRINT MY PHOTOS?
CAN I GET RAW PHOTOS?
Raw images are not available for client. From all the images we select the best images that were taken during the session. From these we create a gallery in which there are at least twice as many images as the selected package has. This way you can choose which photos you like best. If you still want to get all the unretouched photos that were taken, you can buy them. The gallery raw photos price depends on the type of session and the number of images
Yes. Every digital photo is suitable for printing not bigger than 20/30cm. We do not take responsibility for the quality of printing not ordered by us in a professional photo lab. We recommend that you order the photos from a professional photographer's lab if you want to be sure that your photos are sharp, have the proper colours and prepare to print canvas.
CAN I BUY THE ENTIRE GALLERY OF RETOUCHED PHOTOS?
HOW WILL I RECIVE MY PHOTOS?
The photos you select will be made available for download via secure Google Drive folders. Please note that it is not possible to download photos directly from the online gallery.
