Portrait Photography Frequently Asked Questions
Portrait Photography Frequently Asked Questions
I have had the pleasure of photographing hundreds of portraits and have gathered the most frequently asked questions. If you have a question that isn’t below, no matter how small it might seem, then please do ask me.
Where are the sessions held?
You can choose a favourite location of your choice. This could be a forest, park, the zoo, a beach or your own home/garden. If you do not have a favourite location, I have plenty of locations that I can recommend.
What is included?
The photo session. Images perfectly edited. Online gallery. All the final mages ready for you to print and share.
Do children need to be perfectly behaved?
One of the great things about having a lifestyle portrait session is that children can be the characters that they are. Also, getting children to be co-operative won’t be a problem as they will be having a good time.
How many photographs will we get?
I will shoot a variety of photographs at the location, and I then narrow the selection down to around 50 images to be edited. You then choose your favourite photos.
Can we customise the package?
Absolutely! There is the option to add various products, including prints, desk frames, albums and wall art.
Let me know your specific requirements.
How long does a session last?
The Lifestyle Portrait Sessions last anything from an hour to two hours – This give me the time to get the results that I need.
What should we wear on the day?
The choice is up to you but I do recommend clothing and outfits without strong design or patterns so as not to detract from the face. The important thing is that children must feel comfortable.
How long until we get the photographs?
In most cases I will be able to show you your photographs within 10 days of your portrait session.
How much editing do you do?
Every photograph is individually hand-edited to ensure that they have the best exposure, contrast, tone, etc. I will, where possible, remove any noticeable minor blemishes.
What’s the best way to view my photos?
Some clients keep a gallery of their images on their phones and watch on large-screen TVs. You could also display them on the wall with framed prints and canvasses. Plus, post images on social media to share with distant friends and relatives.
