Questions

Common questions

How long until I get my photos?
Turnaround varies by photographer and package, typically 1–4 weeks — confirm timeline before booking.
What's included in a typical package?
Session time, number of edited images, and sometimes prints or digital rights — details vary widely, so review each photographer's package carefully.
Should I bring outfit changes?
For portrait sessions, yes — most photographers welcome 1–2 outfit changes; discuss specifics beforehand.
Do photographers provide raw/unedited images?
Rarely as standard — most deliver only edited, selected images; raw files are sometimes available for an additional fee.
What's the difference between natural light and studio photography?
Natural light uses available outdoor or window light for a softer, organic feel; studio photography uses controlled lighting equipment for consistent, polished results.
