The Essential package covers the surprise proposal from the preparation to the "yes" moment, while the Classic and Signature packages include a portrait shoot after the proposal to celebrate it.

Events & Parties

Designed for birthdays, corporate events, private parties and gatherings, launches and other events. Natural yet polished documentation to preserve the atmosphere.

Event and party photography is done with the use of 🌞 natural light, and on-camera flash photography when necessary.

Prices: Interior & Real Estate Photography

Interior & Real Estate

Ideal for property listings, keepsake memories, portfolios for interior designers, and projects by architecture firms. Wide-angle and detail shots are tailored for effective visual marketing.

I work exclusively with 🌞 natural/ambient light, with or without a tripod, to capture the most authentic look of each space.

Handheld vs Tripod

Both approaches can provide excellent results. Choose the one that best fits your needs and budget.

Handheld photography is ideal if speed is a priority, and it typically allows for more creative angles. Select this option to keep your fee lower and if you want abstract shots, including decorations and art collections.

Tripod photography requires more time for adjustment, but it is essential when lighting is too dim. The photos are typically sharper.

Classic vs HDR

HDR workflow requires more time during post-production and typically involves the use of a tripod. It delivers richer tones and balanced highlights/shadows for a more polished look.

Choose HDR if you need images for commercial work that demand top quality to uplift your brand, or for real estate listings where faster, more effective deals are the goal. For most standard property shoots, the Classic option provides excellent results with a quicker workflow.

Prices: Makeup & Hairstyling

General Makeup & Hairstyling

Professional makeover services available as add-ons to your shoot-perfect for achieving a polished, camera-ready look. Includes makeup, hairstyling, or both, tailored to your shoot's concept and lighting setup. For gentlemen and ladies.

There will be an surcharge of $50 for any session that starts before 6am.

Different hair and makeup artists may have different rates; therefore, do contact me with your requirements for more accurate quotation.

Note: I don't collect any commission from the hair and makeup artists so that they can provide their best services at the best rates to clients referred by me.

📌 Essentials to Know

These details apply to every package and are important to understand before booking. They outline the flow, expectations, and boundaries of all photography sessions unless otherwise specified within a particular package — so everything feels clear and aligned from the start.

Here’s a transparent look at what contributes to your quote. If anything feels unclear, I’m happy to guide you through it. Please also note that my service agreement and privacy policy apply to all bookings.

• 📍 Venue:

  Sessions may take place at a location provided by the client (eg. home or office), a public space, or my private studio.
  
  If the chosen venue requires an entry fee or permit, this cost must be covered by the client for both themselves and the photographer.

• 👗🎭 Wardrobe & Props:

  Both wardrobe and props are provided by the client, with my creative guidance available to refine choices.
  
  I strongly recommend discussing them together in advance to ensure it complements the shoot style, location, and lighting.

• 📚 Number of themes/outfits:

  if no number of themes or outfits is stated in the package, the default allowance is up to 2 outfits per hour.

  Please keep in mind that outfit changes take extra time. If the booking duration is too short, this can be unrealistic and may lead to an extension of the booked duration.

• 📸 Shoot Style:

  I use no-touch guidance, directing poses through conversation and demonstration. This may take a little longer, but it ensures comfort and respect, while creating natural, authentic photos.

• 🕊️ Shoot Pace:

  Sessions are paced intentionally for comfort. If multiple locations or outfit changes are planned, please book additional time to ensure everything can be covered without rushing.

• ⏰ Duration Booked:

  Your booked duration includes my arrival, preparation, discussion, setup, and the shoot itself.
  
  Time matters even between shots-equipment setup, wardrobe changes, makeup, hairstyling, and travel during the shoot.
  
  Please plan accordingly to ensure the booked time reflects your full needs.

• ⚡ Lighting Approach:

  Default for all packages: use of Natural light.
  
  Default for studio sessions: use of flash.
  
  For natural light sessions, ambient light is prioritised. When needed, I may use a mounted speedlite (never off-camera flash).
  
  For flash-based sessions, off-camera flash is used whenever possible; otherwise, I adapt with natural light or on-camera flash depending on the environment.

• 🖌️ Editing:

  Default for all packages: Basic editing.
  
  Basic Editing: Exposure, colour correction, cropping if necessary.
  
  Optional Advanced Editing (Retouching), such as skin refinement, is available upon request. Advanced editing requires more time and effort, which affects cost.
  
  Extreme Editing requests may be rejected, as they are highly tedious and often compromise authenticity.

• ⏳ Turnaround Time:

  The delivery timeline begins once final payment has been received. Low-resolution previews are delivered within 7 days for photo selection, while final high-resolution JPGs are delivered within 14 days after your selections are confirmed.
  
  Larger sessions, peak periods, or advanced editing requests may require additional time.
  
  Some projects may be completed earlier than the stated timeline. However, clients should plan based on the official turnaround period rather than an earlier delivery.

  Higher resolution options are available if requested during discussion.

• ⚖️ Copyright:

  I (the photographer) retain full copyright to all images. Clients are granted personal usage rights for sharing and printing. For commercial or extended usage, licensing options are available upon request.
  
  Editing, altering, filtering, cropping, or modifying the photos in any way requires prior written consent.

• 🔒 Privacy:

  By default, selected images may be used in my portfolio or marketing to showcase my work.
  
  If you prefer full confidentiality, a Privacy Guarantee (Buyout) option is available, ensuring your photos remain private and unpublished. This option reflects the additional value of exclusivity and must be arranged in advance.

➕ Optional Extras

My packages are kept straightforward so you only pay for quality work, without unnecessary add-ons. Some clients have asked for extra options, so I’ve listed them here for clarity. These are not part of the standard packages, and I generally prefer to keep sessions smooth and focused.

Extra charges apply only if your session goes beyond the usual — such as unusual locations, very late hours, or special requests. These optional services and situational fees may vary, but they apply across most packages so you can plan ahead before booking.
