Requirements & Recommendations

Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to the desired time and locations for better preparations and guidance.

Bring any special item with you. If there is something that represents you or bring you joy (flowers, your pet, flag, etc.) Please feel free to bring along!

Don't forget retouching tools, comb, hair clips, towel.

If you bring extra pieces of clothing, bring them on hangers. Putting things in a bag or backpack can cause wrinkles and make a big difference in the final photos.

Bring comfortable shoes! We will be walking and standing at least 60% of the time.

Please share any ideas or reference if there is any specific idea you want to create.

It is requested to have the clothes, props and makeup ready in advance to better manage session time. All props are cover by the client ( flowers, champaign, confetti, etc). Any unforeseen event or request not reflected in this budget will be charged as additional. The digital pack will be sent 10 business days after the session. If you require high-end digital retouching, the cost per photograph will be $50 USD ( this covers skin and makeup retouch, background or clothing clean up). In case of modifying the work plan, you have 72 hours in advance; It is required to leave in writing any delay of the project since it can generate severe costs and inconveniences for the photographer schedule.

  • Yes, I provide natural, professional retouching that enhances what’s already there — things like a temporary blemish, flyaway hairs, or small wrinkles in clothing. I do not alter body shape, facial structure, or features that are part of who you are. For example, I won’t straighten naturally curly hair or slim any areas of the body. My goal is to keep you looking like you, at your best and in the most authentic way.
