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.
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.
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.
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.
Evaluate how the photographer directs subjects during the test shoot. Good photographers give clear, concise instructions. They know how to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera. Poor communication leads to stiff poses and unnatural expressions. Ask how they handle difficult subjects. A patient, clear communicator prevents awkward moments and produces more authentic, engaging photos.
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.
Ask for high-resolution files in TIFF or JPEG format. Web-optimized files are too small for printing. Standard print quality requires at least 300 dots per inch. Check if the provider downsamples images without permission. You need full-resolution files to control printing quality yourself. This ensures your images look sharp on any surface, from paper to digital screens.
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.
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.
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.
