Hello there! I have compiled a list of frequently asked questions to provide you with all the information you need. If you have any additional questions, feel free to reach out to me directly.
What areas do you service? Primarily Dubai and surrounding cities, however, I also book sessions outside UAE.
What types of photography sessions/services do you offer? I specialize in family photography, which includes maternity, pre wedding and intimate wedding.
Does my session fee include digital files? Yes. Files will be sent via web transfer. Full resolution digital.
How long will it take for you to edit my photos? I give myself a deadline of two weeks to prepare your final images. In some cases, though, I have them ready in a week or less! It just depends on my workload at the time.
How will I view my final images? One of two ways: We can schedule an in-person meeting (I call this a “reveal session”), where I can personally guide you through selection and print ordering. The second option is through web transfer.
How would you describe your photography style? I focus on documenting real emotion between you and your loved ones. This involves little to no posing (nothing that you would find in traditional studio photography). Instead, I may offer prompts such as playing, tickling, whispering something sweet or funny to each other or giving a bear hug — anything that will encourage real emotion or tell your story. I find these moments to be my clients’ favorites — and mine!
My editing style is bold and emotional. Unlike many of today’s “light and airy” photographers, I’m not afraid of color!
In addition, I only photograph using natural light. For an at-home session, this means taking advantage of all the window light; for an outdoors session, using the beautiful glow of sunrise and sunset (“golden hour” light).
When is the best time to do maternity photos? Typically within two months of your due date. Booking, however, should be done 2-4 months before the session takes place.
When is the best time to do newborn photos? Fresh 48 sessions should occur within 48 hours of your baby’s birth, while you are still at the hospital. At-home newborn sessions take place within two weeks of birth. Booking, however, should be done 2-4 months before the session takes place.
What is a Fresh 48 newborn session? This special session documents your newborn at the hospital, within 48 hours of their birth, during the day. It aims to capture all of their sweet, tiny features and some of your first moments as a family. Your baby will start changing before you know it, making this session so meaningful. Do you offer mini sessions? No. There are so many benefits to a full session that I do not offer condensed sessions at this time. I do, at times, host special Portrait Events.
Do you photograph weddings? Yes, I do for small, intimate wedding. If it requires that I am acquired for bigger wedding, extra photographer will be charged accordingly.
How far do you travel? I am based in Dubai, UAE, I will travel the same Emirates, with no extra charge. If you are in different city, I will be asking a different rate.
Will you help me plan my session? Absolutely! I am always available to answer questions, address concerns, help with outfit planning, location decisions and more! I take pride in not only being your photographer, but a valuable resource every step of the way.
