Natural Light and Style Policy
-
Photography Style: Our studio prides itself on a distinct photography style that emphasizes natural light and clean backgrounds. This style can be reviewed in detail in the galleries showcased on our website. Clients should familiarize themselves with our artistic style before booking a session and should not expect a deviation from this style.
-
Outdoor Photography: Photography in outdoor settings is influenced by various uncontrollable factors such as weather, light conditions, and specific location attributes. The inherent variability of nature may affect the colors and other aspects of the images captured. Despite these uncertainties, our photographer will leverage her expertise and experience to ensure the delivery of professional and high-quality images.
-
Weather and Location Dependencies: It is understood that outdoor photography is dependent on weather and other uncontrollable elements. If the chosen date of the photoshoot encounters unexpected or unfavorable weather conditions, our photographer will make every effort to capture the best images possible. However, the photographer is under no obligation to reschedule or repeat the photoshoot if the weather is not ideal.
-
Client Preparation: It is the client's responsibility to come prepared for the photoshoot. This includes choosing outfits that are appropriate for the location and flattering for their body type. Decisions regarding hair, makeup, and accessories should also be carefully considered. While post-processing tools like Photoshop can enhance images, they cannot fundamentally alter or rectify poor choices in attire, hair, or makeup. Clients should not expect major post-processing alterations related to these aspects.
-
Outdoor Location Review: Clients are encouraged to thoroughly review potential outdoor locations. The photographer will provide useful resources, including website links, sample images, and recommendations to help in the decision-making process. Utilizing tools like Google Maps and Google Reviews can further aid in assessing the suitability of a location for the desired shoot.
By booking a session with our studio, the client acknowledges and agrees to the terms and policies stated above.
