Arrive to the session and settle in. Arrive fresh faced if you can, no glam, to make it easier for getting makeup done.

If you're not sure what to wear, you can wear one option and bring an alternate for us to decide between on the day.

First we'll get to know each other and we'll try a couple of different angles. Then you’ll have a chance to give feedback!

At the end you'll go through all the photos and choose your favourites for me to polish up and deliver.

Within 2 weeks (if not sooner!) from our session date your stunning new portraits will be in your inbox ready to share with the world.

I deliver both High Res (printable) and small Web sizes (for digital use) and do not have restrictions for how / how long you use your photos.

I'd love social shout outs and photo credit where possible. I'll also use the photos (only the ones you like/chose) to promote my work (eg website, socials), as I love to showcase my clients, but if you'd rather I didn't, please just let me know. 💕

I believe there are no concrete rules... or if there are rules, they're more like guidelines. 😉 Generally, I'd go with what you feel best in... when people wear things they love/feel great in, that shines through in the photos.

General tips (but again this may not work for everyone) is to avoid wearing all white, all black, and any large brand logos you might regret later.

It may seem counter intuitive but properly fitted clothing looks better in photos than overly large/baggy pieces.

No problem! Amy is a total pro and can help you figure out what style will best suit your complexion and energy. Have a look at Pinterest or other references to see if you have any basic preferences on style or a feeling /result you want.

Same!! Almost every person I've ever photographed came in nervous (and I get nervous in front of the camera sometimes too!), but they all left surprised by how fun and easy photos can be. Being in front of a camera can feel overwhelming but the more you practice it, the less scary it becomes. And during the session it's my job to help smooth the jitters and work with you to make it an enjoyable experience. So don't worry, you're in good hands!

Yes, yes yes! This is the key part of my process.

I believe it's a huge problem in the photography industry that the person being photographed doesn't have power over their own image nor the ability to choose their own photos. I think this lack of agency is a key reason why many people dislike getting photographed... rather than choosing the angle/photo they like, they are presented with one they hate!

I want you to be in control every step of the way. I show you all the photos as we go and we talk openly about what you like and dislike. At the end of the session you get to see ALL the photos and choose your own... that way you know that the photos you get once I've done my polish/edit are the ones you like!

The session length dictates how many final photos we end up with, and so does the session price (as time to edit/process the photos is factored in). My standard headshot sessions (30 minutes) include 5 photos with professional photo edit (eg blemish removal, flyaway hairs etc). You can always purchase more photos if you love more, once you see them after the session.

Photo editing includes basic lighting balance and colour grading to every images to make them pop/feel professional. It also includes removing any distractions like a pesky blemish, flyaway hair, or spot on your shirt.

Files are provided in both High Res (large/master files, good for printing), and Web sizes (smaller file already formatted for websites, social media).
