FAQ
Do you have any discounts for a photo shoot?
Yes. After your first photo shoot you get a 10% discount on all subsequent photo shoots and certificates.
For 7 days before and 7 days after your birthday your discount is 20%.
How to look for a photo studio?
I have a selection of photo studios: with interior, without interior, or with temporary decor. Based on our image, I will show you the most suitable locations and we will choose the right one together. Most often the studio is paid in advance. You can book it by yourself or send me the funds and I will take care of the booking.
When will I get a my photos?
Color correction of reportage photos takes from 2 to 7 days. Retouching of a photo shoot takes from 7 to 14 days. It is possible to process photos within 1−2 days for an additional fee of 50% of the order cost. A video editing deadline is discussed individually.
How will I get my photos?
I upload the finished photos to Google drive and send you the link. The photos will be stored for a month. Please download them as soon as possible and let me know.
If you would like to print your photos, I can suggest a photography salon or print them by myself and give them to you. The cost of printing is not included in the cost of the photo shoot.
What if I lose my photos?
Your photos are stored on Google drive for exactly one month. Please download them as soon as possible. A backup copy of all retouched photos is stores on my personal Dropbox. I will send you a link to your photo shoot again. However, I do not keep all of the raw photos
Who selects photo for retouching?
I can select the photos and send them to you already retouched. I can instead send you original photos for you to select them by yourself. This way you can select more shots. Retouching of additional shots is for a fee. It costs 5 € per photo.
What if I don't know how to pose?
It’s normal for some people to feel uncomfortable in the photographer’s crosshairs, especially if it’s their first photo shoot. That’s why since 2008 I’ve been studying psychology, acting and modelling posing to know how to help people feel at ease in front of the camera and turn out well in the pictures.
How do I pick out clothes?

We discuss in advance the image and mood of the upcoming photo shoot. We choose the moodboard. We choose clothes from your wardrobe. If there are not enough details, or you want a completely new look, you can buy it in a shop. Some clothes and accessories can be returned to the shop after the shoot.
I don't have the right shoes, can I be barefoot?
For images that do not require shoes you can go barefoot. In a family shoot, all members of the family can be shoeless or all wearing shoes.
You can borrow shoes from a friend or buy them in a shop and return them later. When shooting in a photo studio the soles should be as clean as possible or taped with paper tape.
Do I need to get a manicure before a photo shoot?
You don’t need a manicure if your nails are nearly shaped. However, if a nail is broken, one nail is missing, or all nails have grown very long, you should get one. All close-up and hand photos will not be available or will take 3 times longer to retouch.
Can you not post pictures of me on social media?
If we agree on the confidentiality of the photo shoot in advance and sign a contract, then of course no pictures will be published.
In that case, the retouching of the photos or the raws of the shoot will also not be made public.
