Questions
What should we wear for a family photo session?
Co-ordinated earthy tones or soft pastels work best. Avoid bold logos and opt for natural textures like linen or denim. Include sentimental items like a child's favourite toy.
What time of day is best for outdoor photography?
Golden Hour (early morning or late afternoon) provides soft, flattering light without harsh shadows for optimal outdoor portraits.
How do you handle uncooperative children during shoots?
We embrace natural interactions - letting children play while capturing candid moments rather than forcing poses, creating stress-free sessions that reflect genuine personalities.
What happens if it rains on the scheduled day?
We reschedule only for rain. Overcast days work well with even lighting, and home sessions remain unaffected by weather conditions.
Do you provide digital image files?
Yes, all packages include digital files on USB. The Seed & Sprout packages also include physical prints, while Grow includes a fine art album.
How long until we receive our photographs?
Proofing galleries are delivered within 4-7 days, with final edited images following promptly after selection.
