Our Booking process:
I. Reach out + Discovery call.
Reach out by email to set up a time for a discovery call so I can learn more about you! We will chat about your business & I will give you insight on my process and how we can work together.
II. Session planning.
If you think we would be a good fit, we will plan a second call to discuss details of your upcoming project. We will discuss the scope, vision & date. I will request site images or renderings of the project in advance, so that I can better understand the spaces and prepare accordingly. This will help me create a more tailored approach to the photography. I will then prepare an estimate for the project. To book & reserve your date the next step will be to sign the photography agreement and pay retainer before any pre-production planning begins.
Tip: To maximize the potential of larger projects, consider planning a site visit for both of us. Once a retainer has been paid for your project, site visits are included in full-day sessions for projects located within the Ottawa core. This can be a great opportunity for collaborative planning, allowing for better coordination of your shot list and approach.
III. Shoot day.
Work collaboratively to create storytelling, high quality images. Review compositions and styling on a larger screen for a more detailed assessment of photos. Photo sessions can be long days, but we will be extremely productive and take snack breaks to refuel! It is important to me that clients enjoy their experience and look forward to capturing their project.
Session Day
I use a blend of artificial and ambient light to create lighting that is balanced. Before capturing the photo, I make a number of adjustments, including adding or blocking light, fine-tuning décor placement, and determining composition.
