Process
What is the process?
1. Book your shoot
Contact me to book your session even two months in advance, the sooner the better, we can discuss locations, themes, outfits and which package best suits your needs.
2. Sign Contract
Once we’ve agreed on the date, location, and package, I’ll send you a contract to review and sign before the session. If it’s easier, you can also request a printed copy for signing at the photoshoot.
To secure your booking, a 200 AED deposit is required. This deposit is non-refundable, but if you need to reschedule, it will be carried over to your new date.
3. The Day of the shoot
Arrive a little early and enjoy the photoshoot, most probably you are not a professional model, and that's perfectly fine, I've got some tricks up my sleeves to get you and your family relaxed and ready to show off those pearly whites.
4. Get your Gallery
Your gallery will be ready within 15 business days, I will keep you updated on my progress and the estimated date of when you'll be receiving your gallery.
Raw files are not part of any package.
5. Choose your images
Once your gallery is ready, you’ll be able to select the number of images included in your package.
If you’d like to keep more memories, additional images are available at 50 AED each, or you can upgrade to the entire gallery for 600 AED.
6. Color correction & Editing
All images will be color corrected.
I will edit the chosen images and replace them in your gallery for you to download. I will notify you when this happens.
Intensive editing can be requested to 10 images in the small packages and a maximum of 30 images on the large packages.
Event coverage packages don't include any editing.
7. Video
Some of my packages include a short video highlight of your session.
The video editing process takes a little longer to be finished.
If your package doesn’t already include one, you can add it on for 300 AED.
Every video comes with one complimentary round of edits. Additional edits can be made for 80 AED each.
8. Print
I do not offer printed images at the moment, but I can give you some suggestions on where to go if you would like to do it.
FAQ
How long does it take to get our photos delivered?
I usually deliver galleries within 15 days after the shoot, but this depends on my workload, the number of photos in your package and how much photo retouching is needed.
Although I can't always give you an estimated date I will send you the gallery, I will keep you informed of my progress and send you sneak peeks.
Are there any resstrictions on locations in Abu Dhabi?
Unfortunately yes! there are only a handful of locations that allow photoshoots to take place in Abu Dhabi, so I cannot guarantee that the location that you'd like to have your photoshoot in will be possible but we will work together to find a location that is perfect for your needs.
What should we wear?
What you wear is very personal to you and your family's style, but I will give you a general guideline to what looks best on photos and what doesn't to help you decide. I also have some client wardrobe outfits you could choose from.
My child never smiles for the camera, what should I do?
The simple answer is, nothing.
You know your child best, and if they don't want to look directly at the camera and smile, that's fine. You can try to make them happy by tickling them, running a race with them or throwing them up in the air, in the end we are looking for those genuine smiles and interactions instead of the "cheese" smiles.
Can I get the raw images from my gallery?
Raw images are not part of any of my packages, but you are able to purchase them for a fee.
Can you keep my photos private?
Of course!
All my galleries are private by default, if you ask me for extra privacy I will have your gallery password protected.
I always ask my clients if they are happy for me to share their photos before posting anything.
