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.
Screens display colors differently than printed materials. Request sRGB files for web use and CMYK for printing. If they only provide sRGB, your print shop may need to convert them, which can shift hues. Confirm the profile matches your final usage.
Define what retouching includes. Basic cleanup removes dust and minor blemishes. Heavy editing changes facial structure or removes wrinkles. Ask for a sample of their work to see the difference. This prevents disappointment with the final result.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
