FAQs
DO YOU DO PORTRAIT SHOOTS?
Yes we do all sorts of portrait shoots, including solo portrait shoots, pre wedding / engagement shoots, old lovers and family too.
I HATE POSING FOR PICTURES. DO I HAVE TO POSE?
We don’t think it looks natural either. We actually make it fun so you don't even think about the photography process. We will show you how to pose and then we let the emotions come naturally
WHAT IS THE BEST TIME OF DAY FOR A PORTRAIT SESSION?
The best light for photography in general is early in the morning and late in the afternoon. This is what we call the golden hour. That being said, the weather in Paris is unpredictable and most of the time the sky is covered, which makes any time of the day great for photos. There is another thing to consider though: the crowds. Paris is one of the busiest cities in the world, visited by millions of people every year. This is why, when talking about Paris photography, the best starting time becomes slightly more complicated
WHERE WILL OUR SESSION TAKE PLACE?
Location depends on your style and vision for the session. Based on your preferences, we will send a list of recommended locations to select between.
WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?
The better approach is select a complimentary color pallet. We would like to review your outfits via email before your session.
WHEN WE WILL RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS?
We will send you a link with your personalized private gallery within 48-76 hours EST (approximately) after your shoot.
DO YOU RETOUCH THE IMAGES?
Yes, at our discretion. If you’re looking for further skin clearing or wrinkly-reducing, we will make your dreams come true for 5€/image.
WILL I RECEIVE ALL OF THE UNEDITED PHOTOS OR RAW FILES?
While we would love to provide all of the unedited or raw files, the magic happens after the editing process. And it would be nearly impossible for us to edit all of your images.
Think; quality vs. quantity!
HOW DO WE BOOK YOU?
Simply let us know you would like to book a photo shoot session, what dates work best for you and what type of session you are looking for through our contact page or email us at:

WHAT ARE YOUR PAYMENT TERMS?
We ask for the session fee to be paid in advance to fully secure the booking and to allow us to get on with the necessary preparation. We require 100% when the order is placed
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?
Usually a gloomy day is not a problem cause the light is still good (even with a small drizzle).
If it showers we can reschedule later in the day or another date depending on your & my availability..
CAN WE EXTEND OUR PHOTO SESSION?
Of course! As long as the photographer is available, you can easily pay for the extra time. Rates for additional time start at 250€/hour

WHAT IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE?
