BOOKING A PORTRAIT SESSION:
HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. Fill out form
Head to my contact page to inquire about availability, pricing packages, and next steps. I'll get back to you within 3 business days. No question is too big or too small! I want to work together to find something that works wonderfully for you.
2. book + deposit
Your chosen date and time will be reserved for 24 hours, during which I will require a 20% non-refundable retainer and a returned contract to complete your booking. The remainder of fees will be due before your session. Now, sit back, relax, and wait for the big day!
3. session day
I'll send you a questionnaire prior to your session to get to know a little bit more about you. We will discuss locations, styling, your favourite music to get you excited during your shoot, and everything in between. On the day of your session, all I ask is that you are ready to have yourself an incredible day!
4. Photos + gallery
I want the feeling of excitement to stick around for as long as possible - I'll typically send 5-6 sneak peeks within 72 hours of your session. My turnaround time for the remainder of your gallery is currently about 4 weeks, but I'll be in regular contact with you if anything changes! I hope you love the outcome as much as I've loved the entire process.
more FAQ
How will my photos be edited?
You can expect your gallery to be edited in a style that is consistent with my portfolio, viewable on my website and Instagram. Each photographer has their own individual editing style. This, along with their method of capturing the raw images during your session, is what makes each one unique, and is something to take into consideration when choosing the photographer that is right for you.
HOW WILL I RECEiVE MY PHOTOS?
You will receive an email link to an online gallery with the edited photos from your session, in high-resolution JPEG format. From there, will be able to download all of your photos and share the gallery with your loved ones. I am working on coordinating with the hosting platform to offer a wide selection of prints and products to purchase - stay tuned!
Do I get to choose my photos?
I spend a great deal of time choosing the best of the best photos from your session. Due to the nature of both natural light and lifestyle photography, that involves candid movement and thus changing light dynamics, not all shots that are taken will turn out as planned. If you have any ‘must have’ shots, I will absolutely do my best to make sure they are included in your final gallery.
What methods of payment do you use?
Currently, I accept payment through e-transfer. I am working on setting up client management software to accept credit card payment as well.
do you strictly shoot couples + weddings?
Absolutely not! Although this is my focus, I love capturing moments of any kind - including self-love and solo shoots, headshots, newborns, maternity, and family. All half-hour to hour packages are priced for up to 4 people and/or pets (please, please, please bring your fur friends!). If you have a larger or extended family, we can discuss extended pricing to include everyone on session day! See my investment page or email me for more details!
CAN I SHARE THE PHOTOS ON SOCIAL MEDIA?
Absolutely, please do! I love seeing my clients share their experience. Within our contract, it addresses that the photos I provide to you cannot be altered in any way (i.e. no filters!) - I've worked hard to edit your photos in a way that represents my unique style!
If you do share your photos, credit to my account (by tagging @capturedbyLK, and/or mention of my business name), helps spread the word and means the absolute world to me!
