OUR PROCESS

All of our photo shoots are 100% customised to find the perfect way to represent our clients. It doesn't matter if its a small branding session, a multiple day fashion campaign or a traditional maternity photo shoot, we take the time to study the project and make sure everyone is on the same page before the big day.

 CONCEPT

Right after you contact our team, we will follow up with a phone call. It's important for us to know the reason behind your booking. Once we make sure that we have understood the outcome you wish to have from this photoshoot, we will be able to offer you a quote and finally set a date.

​

This sounds like a lot of information to get over a phone call, but don't worry about taking notes: every call is followed by an email detailing everything we discussed. The email also has an invoice attached. If you wish to move forward, we require a deposit to secure your booking. The final amount can be paid at any point after the photo shoot.

​

For creative photo shoots, we will follow up this consultation with potential mood boards (collage of images representing different aspects of the shoot) so we can make sure that all parties are happy with the vision for the day. Assistance with styling or collecting necessary props is also included.​

THE PHOTO SHOOT

The day will start with you arriving at our studio in Marsfield or the agreed upon location and settling in. We will go through the outfits and lay out the structure for the session. If you've chosen a package which includes one of our professional make up artists, this is the moment she will start to prepare you. 

​​

The most important thing to remember is this: a photoshoot is supposed to be fun. So don't be nervous: the entire session will be relaxed, good conversation always sparks up and the speakers will be set to your favourite music.

 

You also don't need to panic when it comes to posing: most of our clients are regular people, not professional models, which has made Micaela an expert at directing. 

EDITING

After the session is finished, the work for us is just beginning. All images need to be downloaded and go through a process of selection and culling to delete any duplicates or awkward poses. The final gallery is carefully colour corrected and adjusted to meet our strict quality standards. 

​

72hours after the photoshoot you will receive an online gallery that will allow you to view your images, download them in various JPEG quality formats and share them with your friends and family.

 

You will also receive the instructions to claim your retouched images, which take up to 10 days to be processed. These retouched images go through an intensive editing process - including skin retouching, hair retouching, clothing adjustments and colour enhancement. There are no limits to what can be achieved in post processing, so if you have a specific request make sure to communicate it with our photographer. 

Q&A

  • Do you send RAW files? Short answer is no, never. We are a professional studio and is important for us to protect both our clients and our own reputation. Unedited photos are the equivalent of the first draft of a manuscript and have no business being published anywhere. However, feel free to discuss special circumstances with us.

​

  • How long do photoshoots last? Depends on the type of photoshoot, but normal stylized portraits will go on for 1-2 hours (plus an extra hour for make up). We will discuss a time frame through email for organisational purposes, but this should not be seen as a ticking clock. We charge by package not by the hour. 

​

  • Can we shoot on location? Of course, we have a number of stunning locations in Sydney to recommend. This includes the possibility of bringing the studio set up to your home or business premises. Additional travel expenses may apply.

​

  • Who provides the props or clothes? We will assist you with both styling options and with obtaining any necessary props. The studio also has a large collection of clothes, jewellery and props for you to borrow during the session.
