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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Ask about their data backup protocol during the session. Professional cameras write to two cards simultaneously. This prevents total data loss if one card fails. If they use a single card, ask about their storage plan. Losing your photos is not a possibility. Reliable backup systems protect your investment and ensure you receive all the images you expect from the session.
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.
