FAQ

Q: What can we anticipate during a newborn photography session?
A: During a newborn session, we usually spend 2-3 hours at the studio and use various props and equipment to create a range of candid and posed shots of your baby. We will take breaks as needed for feeding and diaper changes.

Q: When is the optimal time to schedule a newborn session?
A: It is ideal to schedule your newborn session when your baby is between 7-25 days old because they are usually more cooperative and peaceful at this time. However, if your baby arrives early or late, I will try my best to accommodate your needs and schedule.

Q: What should we wear for our family photo shoot?
A: For family photography, I recommend wearing neutral and coordinated outfits that match without being too similar. Solid colors or subtle patterns usually work best. If needed, I can offer additional guidance on wardrobe selection.

Q: How long do family photography sessions last?
A: The length of family sessions typically varies from 1-2 hours, depending on your family's size and the location of the shoot. We will collaborate to create a mix of posed and candid shots that capture your family's essence.

Q: When is the best time to schedule a maternity session?
A: The ideal time to schedule a maternity session is between 28-34 weeks of pregnancy when your belly is round and you still feel comfortable enough to move around and pose.

Q: Can we include our pets in our family photo session?
A: Yes, pets are part of the family, and I would be happy to include them in the photo session.

Q: What happens after the photo session?
A: After the shoot, I will carefully edit and enhance the best images if needed (deleting the assistant photos and incorrect exposure only) from the session and create an online gallery for you to view and select your favorites (with a watermark if unpaid, no watermark if fully paid). You will have the option to purchase digital files, prints, and other products from the gallery. I will also be available to answer any questions and provide guidance as needed.

Q: How much time in advance should we book our session?
A: To secure your preferred date and time, it's best to book your session as early as possible, especially for newborn and maternity sessions, which usually require several weeks of advanced booking. However, I understand that life can be unpredictable, and I will do my best to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible.

Q: Can I request a special editing?
A: Yes, if the photographer can match the style. We can't replicate the request exactly to avoid copyright issues.

Q: Why do I look different from my phone compared to the unedited files?
Please note that you can't directly compare the photos taken on your phone because smartphones use AI filters, unlike professional cameras. The unedited files reflect your exact appearance when you look in the mirror at home; the only difference is the lighting style.

Q: How long do you keep the files?
A: The website gallery is available for only one week and will be automatically deleted. We conduct a yearly purge on all our backup hard drives to make room for new clients. A re-upload fee of PHP 1000 applies. Please download and backup your files immediately to avoid any disappointment.
