Define what counts as a photo shoot versus retouching. Standard edits include cropping, color correction, and exposure adjustments. Heavy retouching, like skin smoothing or object removal, often costs extra per image. Agree on the number of retouched images in the contract. This prevents surprise invoices and ensures you know exactly what you are paying for.
Clarify if styling is included or if you must hire professionals separately. On-site makeup takes 45 to 60 minutes per person. Confirm the photographer does not offer this service to avoid scheduling conflicts. Plan your morning routine accordingly.
Ask exactly how long post-production takes. Standard delivery is 2 to 4 weeks for edited high-resolution files. Rush services cost more but shorten this window to 48 to 72 hours. Confirm if you receive raw files or only treated images. Knowing the timeline helps you plan when you need the images for printing or digital use.
Standard web images are 72 DPI, while print requires 300 DPI. Confirm the maximum pixel dimensions they deliver. Ask if they downsample automatically. If you plan large prints, verify the resolution matches your frame size to avoid blurry output.
Do not just look at the best few photos. Ask to see a full sequence from one recent session. Check consistency in focus and exposure across the set. A good professional delivers 10 to 20 usable images per hour of shooting. If the portfolio shows blurred shots or poor white balance, walk away immediately to protect your investment.
Portfolio images often use studio strobes. Ask for 5 examples shot only with natural light. Evaluate skin tone accuracy and shadow detail. Check if their white balance shifts in mixed lighting conditions. This ensures they can handle your home environment.
Ask what lighting gear the professional brings. Look for strobes with modeling lights and color gels. Natural light is good for daytime, but studio sessions require controlled artificial sources. Inconsistent lighting creates harsh shadows and uneven skin tones. Proper equipment ensures sharp, detailed images without visible noise or grain in the shadows.
Most photographers delete raw files after 30 days to save storage space. Ask if they keep them for 90 days or longer. If you need re-edits later, raw files are essential. Confirm the exact retention period in writing before booking the session.
Decide on a visual theme before contacting a photographer. Show them 3 to 5 examples of images you love. Specify if you want bright, airy, or moody tones. This prevents a mismatch between your expectations and the final gallery. Clear direction saves editing time and reduces the risk of requesting costly re-shoots later.
Clarify who owns the copyright to the images. Usually, the photographer retains copyright while granting you personal use rights. If you need commercial usage, ask for a separate license. This costs more but allows you to use images for advertising or business purposes. Define the scope of usage in writing. This prevents legal issues and ensures you have the right to publish the images where you want.
