Booking Process: What to Expect

Check rates, service agreement & FAQ

Clients are warmly encouraged to browse packages, read the service agreement and FAQ, and review the privacy policy at their own pace. This sets the tone for transparency and mutual respect.

If the price for professional, personalised photography isn't something a client wishes to invest in, it's perfectly okay to explore other photographers. This helps protect everyone's time and energy.

Enquire for package consultation

Clients who are interested in booking a photoshoot session can visit the contact page and click on the WhatsApp icon to text me directly. Please answer the template questions as clearly and thoroughly as possible. Kindly note: calls are not accepted unless scheduled in advance.

Clients can share their hopes, ask questions about the packages, and explore possibilities. This helps us understand if we're a good fit and allows me to suggest the most suitable package.

If any add-ons are needed — such as a privacy buyout (so that I won't publish the final photos anywhere) — it's best to mention them during this stage so the final quote reflects everything clearly. No surprises later.

Please note: tailored ideas and creative advice are not offered at this stage. In recent years, some "shoppers" have approached photographers mainly to gather ideas, only to book elsewhere based on price. This drains energy and makes it harder for me to respond to serious clients — which feels unfair to them and to myself.

Place booking fee

Once we're aligned, a booking fee secures the session. This step affirms commitment and opens the creative portal. It also allows me to allocate time and care to clients who truly value the experience.

Please note that if the booking fee isn't paid, any discussed timeslot is not considered booked.

Discuss ideas, outfits, location, date & others

This is a collaborative planning phase. Clients are supported in expressing their vision, choosing outfits, and selecting meaningful locations and timings.

Since clients will be using their own outfits, I'll gently guide them to preview photos in their chosen outfits and share them with me — this helps with planning and styling.

Actual shoot

The session unfolds with care. I guide clients gently, allowing space for spontaneity, emotion, and sanctuary-safe expression. My style leans toward natural, candid lifestyle imagery — and I guide without physical contact. This may take a little more time, but the slower pace often leads to deeply meaningful results.

Complete payment

The remaining balance (total price minus the booking fee) is paid at the end of the shoot, on the same day. The photo selection timeline begins only after full payment is received.

Photo selection

This usually takes around a week, depending on my schedule. Clients should book the session earlier if they're in a rush, or they can include the expedited delivery add-on.

Clients receive a low-resolution curated gallery to choose their favourite images. I may include a few behind-the-scenes moments — not always glamorous, but often worth keeping as part of the memory.

The number of final photos included is stated in each package. Clients can purchase additional images if they wish — though I always believe that less is more.

Final photos

This usually takes around two weeks, depending on my schedule.

Final edits are delivered with love via a download link. Clients receive high-resolution images, ready for sharing or safekeeping. If larger files are needed for printing or special use, that can be discussed during the initial consultation.

Most packages include basic edits to preserve authenticity. If skin retouching (advanced editing) is desired, this add-on can be requested after receiving the final photos.
