Frequently Asked Questions

Booking & Preparation

How far in advance should I book my session?

For standard sessions (Family, Portrait, Couples), I recommend booking 4-6 weeks out, especially if you need a weekend slot. Newborn sessions should be scheduled based on your due date, booking in the second trimester is ideal. Intimate weddings require 3-6 months' notice.

What if the weather is bad for an outdoor shoot?

We monitor the forecast closely. If heavy rain or extreme conditions are predicted, we will discuss rescheduling options at least 24 hours prior to the session. Light overcast days are often perfect for soft, flattering light!

What should I wear? Do you offer styling advice?

Absolutely! Once your session is booked, I provide a detailed Style Guide PDF which includes color palettes, texture suggestions, and tips on coordinating outfits without being too 'matchy-matchy'. Comfort and confidence are key!

During & After the Session

How long after the session will I receive my photos?

For all standard sessions, the fully edited online proofing gallery is delivered within 2 weeks. Once you select your final images, the final high-resolution download link is provided within 3-5 business days. Wedding galleries take longer, usually 4-8 weeks.

Do you provide unedited RAW files?

No, I do not release unedited RAW files. Editing is half of the artistic process and ensures the images delivered adhere to the style and quality standards you see in my portfolio. I promise to carefully select and retouch the best images for you!

Can I print my photos anywhere?

Yes, all digital packages include a high-resolution download and a print release, allowing you to print your images anywhere you like. For the best quality, I highly recommend using a professional print lab, and I can provide recommendations.

Where are you located, and do you travel?

I am based in the Bloemfontein,Free State, but I love to travel! Travel fees may apply for sessions held outside a 20km radius of my studio/base location. Please contact me with your location for a precise quote.
