FAQs
How far in advance should I book?
I recommend booking at least 1 month in advance for a weekday slot, and at least a 3 months in advance for a weekend slot. Having said that, some bookings come in way earlier, so always better to book early, especially for maternity and newborn, which are time-sensitive.
How many images will we receive?
You’ll get a gallery with at least 80 edited images to choose from. With the Mini Collection, you can pick your 15 favourites. The Standard Collection includes 30 images of your choice. And if you go for the Premium Collection, you’ll receive the full gallery — plus some beautiful printed products to keep or gift.
How long do we have to wait for the photos?
I will take up to 4 weeks to carefully select and edit your photos in Lightroom. I don't use Photoshop and I don't alter features, slim down silhouettes, add make up, etc. But I'll happily retouch things that won't be there in a couple weeks, like a scratch or a pimple.
What does the session fee include?
It includes a consultation call, access to my carefully crafted Preparation Guides, access to my beautiful Client Wardrobe with dresses for the mamas, help with everyone's outfits, location scouting in and around Geneva, your photoshoot fee, and a private online gallery with your hand edited images.
Can we meet you before booking?
Certainly! In fact, I always invite you for a quick phone call to get to know each other and answer any questions you might have right at the very start. Happy to meet you in person as well. So, when are you dropping by for a coffee?
What should we wear for photos?
Be yourselves, wear what you love, but be mindful of the clothes - they do have an impact on the final result. You will find my general guidelines in the Preparation Guide and I'm happy to help with the specifics too. Mamas, you have access to my beautiful Client Wardrobe too!
Will you help us pick a location?
Certainly! I have a list of 30 tried and tested locations in and around Geneva. You can choose from lakeside, forests, fields and meadows, vineyards, parks and nearby mountains. I will help you choose the perfect location for you and your family.
What if the weather is bad?
Sunny skies are great, but clouds are... even better! They create a beautiful light and add a little drama to the sky. Naturally, we postpone the session to the nearest possible date if it's raining or super windy.
Do you travel for photoshoots?
Yes, I travel to the photoshoots on my own. My travel is free within 25 km from Geneva. If you'd like to me travel further than that, I'll be happy to connect and discuss it with you.
What’s in your camera bag?
My Sony Alpha 7iv and my three favorite lens: the 35mm, the 24mm, and the 85 mm. They allow me to shoot intentionally and create the intimate, cinematic look that you’re after. Also: water, snacks, tissues and mosquito repellent!
Do you do other types of photography?
Yes, I do weddings, portraits, and small events. Reach out to me with your question and let's make it happen!
Do you give us all of the RAW files?
I don't share RAW files nor the files I didn't select for the final gallery. I believe it is part of my job and my creative process to present you with the final images that are of highest quality and tell your story.
