FAQ
I've never done this before and am nervous. How do I get over this?
Not to worry. I have worked with subjects from the very experienced to the very inexperienced and pride myself on making you feel relaxed and comfortable. It is my job to bring out the best and the beauty in you.
I want to do this but don't have any ideas what to do?
Each session begins with a conversation to find out what you are comfortable with and what you hope to get out of it. Prior to that, via email or phone call, we can discuss shoot ideas, props and outfits. Some ideas are; boudoir, artistic nude, light bondage, couples at play.
Is nudity required?
This is your shoot. There can be as much or as little nudity as you feel comfortable with. I have done bondage shoots with fully clothed subjects and many lingerie shoots.
Can I bring a friend?
Of course. If that will make you feel comfortable please do, but remember, they are here to help you relax and not to help me.
Can I trust you?
I have been doing nude and fetish photography for a great number of years and I am well known and respected in the community. Almost all of my models I have shot with on numerous occasions and any of them would shoot with me again. If you are active in the fetish community ask around and if not then I would be happy to supply references.
How soon can I see the pictures?
24 - 48 hours after our photo session you will receive an email with a password to your personal page on my website where you can review, comment and approve the pictures from your shoot. I will have narrowed the selection down to the ones that have passed my personal quality control and will do rough edits on these. Once you approve your selections then I will do the final retouching and edits.
When will I receive my pictures?
Once you have given final approval on your photos then you can expect to pick up or have mailed your DVD and prints within 5-7 days, depending on my work load.
What if I want more prints?
No problem. I offer printing services for all those pictures you can't take to Walmart or London Drugs on my Canon Pro 5500 printer and print on quality Canon paper up to 12x18" for a nominal fee. I also offer prints on canvas from a discreet 3rd party printer. Ask me about rates.
What about payment arrangements?
I require a 50.00 non refundable deposit at time of booking with the balance due on the day of the shoot. No pictures will be released without full payment. I understand that life gets busy and sometimes rescheduling is necessary and I will make every effort to accommodate you but please remember that studio time is expensive.
After my photos are delivered what happens to all the pictures from the shoot?
Your personal password protected webpage will be left up for an additional 2 - 3 months in case you want to go over them again or order additional prints. Once it's taken down your entire session will be archived on DVD.
