Before Your Shoot
Everything you need to know before your appointment—what to bring, what to expect, and a few simple things to make the shoot more enjoyable for everyone.
General — Every Session
Appointment & Arrival
- Please arrive at the studio on time for your scheduled appointment.
The maximum waiting time is 10 minutes. In the event of a longer delay, the appointment may be cancelled, and the deposit will not be refunded. - Please factor in travel time, traffic, and the time needed to get ready when planning your arrival.
Make-up & Appearance
- Natural makeup that suits the lighting usually gives the best results.
- Please have your hair neat and preferably styled with suitable hair products.
- Please make sure your nails are neat. Changing the nail color during retouching is available for an additional fee.
Clothing
- Please bring clean, ironed clothing.
If possible, we recommend changing at the studio so that your clothes do not get wrinkled on the way. - For maternity shoots, please bring underwear (bra and panties) in cream, white, and black.
- If shoes are to be visible in the photos, the soles must be completely clean. Please bring the shoes with you to the studio.
Posing & Preparation
- If you prefer specific poses or a particular style, feel free to select and send your favorite reference images before the shoot.
- Practicing in front of a mirror can help you feel more confident and relaxed during the shoot.
During the shoot
During the shoot, we kindly ask you not to take your own photos or videos with your phone or camera. This allows us to fully focus on the lighting, the flow of the session and the best possible result.
