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.
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.
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.
Plan outfits that complement the background and lighting. Avoid busy patterns that distract from the subject. Solid colors or subtle textures work best for professional portraits. Discuss fabric choices with the photographer. Loose-fitting clothes can create unflattering shadows. Proper wardrobe coordination reduces the need for extensive editing and improves the overall aesthetic of the final images.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
