My photography company operates differently than many others. Here is the process of how it all works:

Clients call or email me to book a shoot. I book 1.5 hours for everyshoot (most take 45 minutes, but I leave the extra time to not rush changes or feedings etc.), and often shoots are back to back. So please aim to be on time (a little late is ok - I know how hard it can be with kids), to make the most of your time slot.

When you come down for your appointment, the first thing we do is go through what styles you are looking for. Some people love props, others prefer no props, so this is where you can let me know what your desired style is. During this time, if you want particular poses or props please let me know.

I will take notes to ensure I don’t miss one of your desired poses. Also, I will ask what package you had in mind. This helps me gauge the amount of poses to do – so we don’t shoot 30 poses if you want 20 photos. I usually estimate 2 photos from each pose (So say it was mom and baby – I would include 1 close-up, and 1 kiss shot etc.) So even though its one “pose” there are different shots and angles from that pose.
