FAQs

General Info
Before we schedule a photo session, we want to ensure all of your questions are answered. We can also discuss any detail questions about clothes, hair, and makeup before you come in. During your session, our first priority is ensuring that you are comfortable. We have a relaxed approach and try to make the session as stress free as possible.

Photosession
A photosession can take anywhere from 1 hour to 4 hours, depending on the number of ideas and outfit changes. Normally, we recommend that you allow yourself a mininum of 2 hours for your photoshoot. During the photoshoot, you will find yourself relaxing more and more. This process takes longer for some people than others as being in front of a camera does not come naturally to most people.

Music
We generally play music during our sessions when we work indoors. If you have some favorite CDs please feel free to bring them along, as they tend to help to relax.

Make-Up
You can do your make-up prior to the photoshoot or you are welcome to do it at our studio. We can also assist in doing your make-up. Make-up artists can be booked at an extra charge if required. We recommend you bring your make-up kit with you either way, just to be sure.

Clothing
We recommend that you bring a minimum of two different outfits with you, we always strive to get a few different looks into the photoshoot. We would rather see you with a variety of different poses and clothing to maximize the variety in your final images. It is always good bring extra outfits with you, feel free to bring three or four even.

Our Studio
We have a dedicated studio located in Aurora, steps from Yonge street. We have all the necessary equipment including studio lights, backdrops and sets to ensure the best possible images from your photosession. You will find no tacky props in our studio. We focus on creating a relaxed atmosphere that allows you to be and express yourself.

Viewing your images
You will be able to view your images on-line in a password protected gallery specific to your session. The images are typically on-line ready to view in approximately two weeks. These images will have been cropped and some basic editing may or may not have been done. When you view your images on-line, you will have the opportunity to choose the final images that you would like edited. After placing your order, your custom-made and edited images will usually be ready approximately 1-2 weeks later.

Retouching
We'll do some initial retouching on your web proof images and then, upon finalizing your selections, we'll make sure you look your best! We crop, colour enhance and make any necessary adjustments. It is important to us that you are completely satistied with your images.
Professional photo retouching and airbrushing is included in all photography session packages. We tastefully correct images for blemishes, blotchiness, stretch marks, scars, uneven skin tones, or even wrinkles-in a natural way. We don't believe in over done plastic looking images, but we want you to look your best.

Privacy
We respect your privacy. We never show your photographs to anyone outside of our staff without your permission. The subjects in all of the sample images you see at our studio and online have given us permission to show the photographs to others. We appreciate the trust they have shown to enable to demonstrate our skills and art to you. Please advise us how you feel about this, either way, so that we may make a notation on your file. We'd love to be able to show you off as well.
