How do I apply to become a model with your agency?

You can apply to become a model with our agency by submitting an application form through our website. We review all applications and will be in touch with you if we are interested in working with you.

How far out do you book?

I typically book sessions two weeks in advance. If you are interested in newborn, lifestyle session at home or you are planning to capture your special wedding I recommend  to get in touch as early as possible to do the proper arrangements for you.

What time should we schedule our session?

For indoor Sessions, Just pick the time that fits you the best, however if you would like to have beach or desert session it is best to meet around sunrise or sunset time, when the temperatures are perfect and the light is beautiful. If you prefer a lifestyle session at home, we will adjust the timing accordingly to your family routine and the moment when there is the best light at your place.

What would be the best location for our photo shoot?

Here in UAE there’s plenty of amazing places where we can conduct your session. We could guide you in selecting the place which meets your expectations, However if you have an idea of photo session in a place meaningful for you lets discuss it together.

 

In case you prefer to arrange indoor photo shoot in the comfort of your own apartment or inside our studio we will arrange all necessary lighting gears to keep the shooting at the highest quality. 

What should we wear?

Depends on the theme you are looking for, I always suggest anything without strong patters that could distract the composition. 

If you are planning to capture your memory with your special one please choose 1-3 colors with similar tones that will go nicely together. Instead you can play with different fabrics and textures. Please make sure everyone wears same style and let us know before the photo shoot if you decide for formal or casual outfit.

An advice we can give to plan your session , there are plenty of examples that you can find on Pinterest and will give you some hints in case you might feel lost. In any case you can always WhatsApp your selection and we will be happy to help select the most flattering outfit for you and the photos.

During maternity photo shoot we aim to concentrate on the most important aspect of the session, which is you and your belly. Ideally something that would enhance your beautiful bump. Of course the most important thing is you to feel comfortable and wear what you like. I encourage you to bring any accessories (jewellery, scarfs, baby shoes, etc.)

What if I have to reschedule or cancel?

We understand that life can be unpredictable especially with little ones. UAE weather can be too! In case you need to reschedule your session it is not a problem, I will always try to find a date that suits us both at no extra cost.

I do ask for a deposit to secure the booking that is not refundable in case of cancelation.

We review each and every single image captured during your photo session and select only the best images. I guarantee to deliver the number of photographs you choose in your package. My clients trust me with their selection and I am happy to save their time on going through all the pictures. I usually deliver a selection of candid moments, portraits and some details. If you would like to see an example of a gallery I will be happy to share it with you.

Will you remove my imperfections, change color of my dress, add or remove elements from our photographs?"

we would call our style authentic as we always show your natural beauty. When editing we will remove blemishes, baby rush, scars and smoothen your skin but we will not drastically change your facial features, hair or clothing colors. Please note we do not add or remove elements from your photographs.

Will I receive RAW photographs?

Photographs before editing are just a half product for this reason we are not sharing any RAW photographs. What you will receive is a selection of photographs hand edited by us. Before choosing us as a photographer please have a look at our portfolio to make sure you like our editing style.

Will you use our photographs on social media?

we usually use 1-3 photographs to show a sneak peak of your session. In case our clients prefer to keep their photographs private we absolutely respect their choice and do not share any of the photographs.

Can our grandparents, friends, etc take part in our family session?"

Yes, but our family session includes up to max. 6 people. In case you would like to capture some moments with a bigger group of people we will prepare a special package for you.

We hope that these FAQs have been helpful. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us.
