Frequently Asked Questions
I'm always happy to jump on a call and answer all the questions you might have. Meanwhile, here is a list of frequently asked questions, which might just include the answer you are looking for.
02
How many images will we receive?
You will receive at least 60 images to choose from. You can then go ahead and pick your favourites: 15 for Mini and 30 for Standard. If you go for the Premium package, you will receive all the images in the gallery.
04
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.
01
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.
03
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.
06
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!
08
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.
05
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?
07
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.
10
What’s in your camera bag?
My Sony Alpha 7iv and my absolute favorite lens: the 35mm. It allows me to capture beautiful portraits and environmental shots, without the hassle of switching lenses or camera bodies. Also: water, snacks, tissues and mosquito repellent!
12
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.
09
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.
11
Do you do other types of photography?
Yes, I love doing portrait shoots and I sometimes photograph small events, such as parties, family reunions and the like. Reach out to me with your question and let's make it happen!
