About Highlights
Request Natural Light Samples
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.
Check Pet Policy Details
Many studios ban pets due to fur on equipment and potential damage. If your client brings a dog, ask about the specific rules. Find out if the photographer will pose the animal or exclude them. This prevents awkward situations during the shoot.
Review Cancellation Window Rules
Most contracts require 7 days notice for a full refund. Cancellations within 48 hours often forfeit the deposit. Read the fine print regarding rescheduling limits. Knowing these dates helps you manage your calendar without financial penalty.
Verify Session Duration Limits
Packages usually cover 1 to 2 hours of active shooting. Setup and breakdown add time. If you want 20 different looks, the session will exceed the limit. Ask how they handle overruns. Some charge per 15 minutes, others waive small delays.
Review Portfolio Depth
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.
Handle Location Logistics
If you are shooting outside, verify who secures the location permit. Many public spaces require a paid permit for commercial photography. Confirm travel time and parking access for heavy equipment. Bad lighting or restricted areas can waste hours. Plan for weather backups if shooting outdoors. This avoids delays and ensures the session stays on schedule.
Confirm Payment Structure
Ask for a deposit amount and final payment due date. Most professionals require 50% upfront to secure the date. The balance is usually due after image delivery. Check if the price includes travel fees or additional hours. Hidden costs often appear after the session. Clear payment terms prevent disputes and ensure you only pay for the exact services rendered and agreed upon.
Set Usage Rights
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.
Verify Image Resolution Specs
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.
Inspect Data Transfer Methods
Ask how you receive final files. Cloud storage links often expire after 14 days. USB drives can be lost in the mail. Download everything immediately to your local drive and verify file integrity before closing the browser window.
