What if I don’t photograph well?
This will sound like a cliche, sorry, but we really mean it. There really is beauty in everybody when you take the time to look for it, and that’s exactly what we intend to do! Of course not everybody is the traditional put-them-on-the-front-cover-of-a-fashion-magazine kind of beautiful, but it would be a boring world if we all looked the same. The best portraits are the ones which capture the spark in an eye, a cheeky half-smile or a powerful, memorable moment, and that’s really the kind of beauty we’re here to capture!
Here are a few practical things we’ll do to help you though:
- Let’s talk about it. Tell us about your concerns and anything that you’re self-conscious about before your session (our initial phone chat or the planning appointment are great times to discuss these things). The more we know, the more we can help.
- All of our sessions start with a two-minute posing lesson for grown-ups which will give you a great base for flattering photos throughout the session.
- We’ll take care of you in the editing of the photos, at your request. There are no fees for editing of the photos afterwards – it’s part of the service. Our policy is not to “photoshop” you unless you request it, and we’ll also advise you on the kind of edits that will look natural while steering you politely away from anything that will make the pictures look weird.
