Individual sitting fees begin at 150 euros.
Because I shoot digitally, there is no limit to the number of shots which can be taken. However at the end of the session we will only save the best 40 or so shots. I will then email these images straight away to you and your agent in color and b&w.
Once you have chosen your final images, generally two to six different images, I will retouch the first two images at no extra cost. Extra retouching can be done to other images as requested at a cost of €10 per image.
Your chosen images can either be colour or b&w. I also provide saved images in color and b&w in low resolution for emailing or attaching to CV’s etc.
Please come with clean face and hair in rollers. If you have a perfect base foundation of course bring that as well as other favorites in your make up bag for possible supplementation. Makeup is not necessary but is provided at an extra charge of 35€ .
How long is a session?
A shoot can take anywhere between 1 - 3 hours. With little children it can take 2 sessions to accommodate their needs or moods. Make sure your child has had sufficient rest and has eaten so it will be easy to capture them at their best. If bringing snacks, choose those which are bite sized and bring drinks with straws.
What should I bring?
Clothes you feel good in. Jewelry, scarves, colors that you know is flattering on you or your child.
If it's a family portrait, make sure there is some harmony among everyone's outfit. Make sure your child's face is clean and free of any debris. It is even a good idea to moisturize your child's face and apply lip balm to the lips the night before. Feel free to let the children bring their favorite toy or doll to the session as well.
What about my hair?
Please come with your hair styled to your liking or set in hot rollers. If you are coming to the photo session in rollers, make sure it is completely dry since the objective is for the roller to be completely cool before being removed.
Where do you shoot?
I like to shoot on location since there are many beautiful areas in Cascais but of course it depends on the weather and season. Most families like to be shot in their beautiful homes, beach or garden. Pregnancy or newborn photo sessions can be done in the comfort and privacy of your home or in my studio. It's really up to you.
Can I bring extended family members?
Of course! Bring your mother and father, even grandparents. Seeing generations in a family portrait is always nice to have and pass down to future generations.
What do I need to do to mark a session?
Please contact us by phone, text message, or email and we can take it from there.
I look forward to providing this service for you and hope the information provided is helpful in your planning.
