Frequently asked questions
How do I choose between a headshot photographer and a general photographer?
Choose based on the assignment rather than the broad category. Actor, corporate, medical application, and dating-profile headshots each call for different posing, expression, lighting, and retouching choices, so request examples that closely match your intended use.
Should real estate photography include aerial images?
That depends on the property and the marketing plan. Ask whether aerial imagery is available, what viewpoints are practical, and whether the photographer also handles interiors, exteriors, and architectural details as part of the same assignment.
When should I book maternity or newborn photography?
These sessions benefit from advance planning because the timing can depend on pregnancy milestones, the baby’s arrival, and the photographer’s calendar. Discuss preferred dates, flexibility, and what happens if the actual birth date changes.
Can a photographer provide both family and passport photos?
Some photography services cover both formal passport photos and family or occasion sessions, but the requirements differ. Confirm the exact passport specifications and whether those images are handled separately from a more creative family shoot.
What should a corporate client prepare before the session?
Prepare the number of people, intended uses, preferred background, wardrobe guidance, and any brand requirements. Also confirm how employees will be scheduled and whether the photographer can keep lighting and framing consistent across the full team.
