FAQ
I have prepared for you answers for the most common questions that can appear:
How to book photoshoot?
Booking varies depends on the type of photoshoot.
For Family photoshoot it is better to contact me 3-4 months before desired date and discuss place and style. One months before the discussed date we will get in contact once again in order to prepare outfits and choose studio. At this time You should make a down payment and we choose particular date. If for some reason this date for photoshoot couldn’t be done ( bad weather, urgent situation), I have days reserved for such cases.
For newborn photoshoots you can book beforehand based on Your due date. Exact date we can determine after the child birth. This is due to my busy schedule and necessity to make pictures till first 12 days of the child. In case you book newborn photoshoot with down payment, I can reserve 1-2 days for each week that is close to Your due date starting from 38 till 42 weeks of pregnancy. It means that after child birth, You will have days on any week in my schedule.
What is better for family photoshoots outdoor or studio?
During warm days ( since April till November) I recommend to all my clients outdoor photoshoots for maternity, family or kids photoshoots.
Nature location are much more diverse and versatile in compare with studio decorations; it looks different every day: flying dress, wind in the hair, sunset – these are all benefits of outdoor photoshoots.
When it is better to choose studio even during warm days?
When it is better to choose studio even during warm days?
Studio photo shooting is better in case:
– Your child is less then 6 month old;
– Maternity photos with lots of personal content;
– Pictures for 1 year old kiddo eating a birthday cake.
What is the best time for maternity photoshoot?
Term of the photoshoot depends of your particular pregnancy. Some women don’t have tummy till 30 weeks, another women feel bad at 28 weeks.
We should take into account the main idea of the photo shooting. For example, if You want to accent Your pregnancy with blooming trees then We should arrange to the period of blooming. In any way such photoshoots should be done before 35 weeks.
Can my husband, elder kids take part in my maternity photoshoot?
Sure, that is very good pictures of whole family, they are included in the family photoshoot.
Does Your photoshoot include outfits, make up, hair style?
No, all of this should be paid separately. But I can guide you to realize all your ideas – from delicate blue-pink to black and white shots. Outfits, style and flowers – for all these. I can help you with my recommendations and advices, I can give you contacts.
What is family photoshoot? What will be the result?
In every family photoshoot I open relations between parents and kids, parents feelings to each other, I am taking pictures every child separately, having fun together , individual portraits of each member.
How to choose newborn photographer? What is Your advantage as newborn photographer?
Professional newborn photographer has to do not only pictures of slipping baby but to help him relax and sleep, to do hygienic routine, change cloth.
My studio has huge amount of props regularly updated. That is costumes, headbands, buckets, beds, toys, laces, backdrop banners. All of this help to receive unique photos for my clients.
One of the most important aspects of the process is safety of baby’s position and whole photoshoot. Skilled photographer can guarantee this safety.
Owning my personal studio guarantee you comfort, cleanness and flexible schedule.
How does the newborn photoset look like? How long does it take? What is the best part of the day for it?
Newborn photoshoot can be done from 5th to 14th days of the child life ( from 6 to 10 days is the best). At this period baby sleeps a lot, normally he doesn’t feel cramps, his body is flexible. On the pictures baby will look as tiny as he or she came into this world.
Your baby will be very comfortable during whole photoshoot, it will looks like his normal day of life. Baby will eat, change diapers, clean, change clothes and when he will sleep or daytime activity, we will take pictures.
Photoshoot duration will depend on the type of the shoot ( number of pictures) and on the particular baby ( how much he will he need to eat, how fast or slow he will eat).
Before every photoshoot premises are processed by quartz medical lamp.
Can parents, elder siblings take part in newborn photoshoot?
Yes, sure. Shots with parents and siblings are include in any newborn photoshoot. It is not necessary to pay extra for this.
Birth photoshoot - where is it possible? Will it be beautiful for sure? How to discuss it with doctors?
Not every hospital allows presence of the photographer during labor. It depends on the particular doctor. Client should discuss this with his doctor. My responsibility to provide proof of vaccination, needed blood tests etc.
Professional photographer can do precious pictures during the moment when your baby comes into this world. Correct camera angle gives not intimate photos but darling art piece.
And this photoshop is something that you can’t reproduce once again!
