General
-
What happens after we make a booking?
Once the advance payment for the shoot is made, I will book a date and time for your shoot and kick off the planning process to discuss the outfits, look and feel of the session.
-
What if I want to cancel my session, will I get a refund?
If a session is cancelled 7 days prior to the confirmed date, I will offer a 100% refund. However if a session is cancelled less than 7 days before a session, the advance payment will be forfeited
-
What if it rains on the day of the session? Do we reschedule?
Yes, absolutely!
Singapore weather can be very unpredictable so in case it rains on the day of the shoot, I will be happy to reschedule the session. However the new slot will depend on my availability as well as yours :)
-
Will you recommend locations for the session?
Most definitely!
There are a lot of nice locations in Singapore. Once your session is confirmed, I will work with you and your family to understand your preference and the vibe you are trying to achieve and based on that, I will recommend locations. Also in case you have a specific location in mind, feel free to suggest it to me.
-
Do you have a studio?
Yes, I do. My studio is located at Marine Parade Road.
-
When do you schedule sessions?
Outdoor sessions are typically scheduled either early morning (7am onwards) or in the evenings (4:30pm onwards), before sunset, just when the lighting is best.
Studio sessions can be scheduled anytime during the day from 9am to 5pm.
Newborn sessions are scheduled on weekday mornings.
-
I’m excited to see my photos! When will they be ready?
And I’m excited to share them! I will share a gallery of watermarked images for you to make your selection within a week of the shoot. Full galleries are generally completed within 2 weeks of you making your selection.
-
How many images do we get?
Each package specifies how many images are included; however you will have the option to purchase additional images. I will be happy to offer a discounted package price should you be interested in purchasing additional images. I do not share RAW images from the session.
-
I have a pet, can I bring him to the session?
ABSOLUTELY. Pets are encouraged at every single session. I consider pets as a part of your family so please do bring them along.
Newborn
-
What is the best time to plan a newborn session?
The best time to plan a shoot is between 7 – 14 days of birth. We can do pictures later than that, but post this period it’s hard to guarantee the sleepy and curled up newborn style pictures (sleepy curled up baby)
-
What preparation do the parents need to do before a session?
Once the shoot is confirmed, I will send a newborn prep guide to help prepare for the session. I will bring all the props, wraps, outfits, backdrops for the newborn session. I would need the baby to be fully fed and massaged/bathed before we start the session. I will take care of everything else 🙂
-
Are outfits for the family provided?
While I bring all the props, wraps, outfits, backdrops for the newborn, I do not provide outfits for the family. However I will work closely with the parents to help them choose outfits that will go well with the overall look and feel of the shoot.
-
When should the session be booked?
It is best to book the newborn session before the baby arrives. This helps guarantee a slot and also finish the planning for the session before the baby arrives. A tentative slot is booked based on the expected due date and once baby is born, we will agree on a date and time for for your session
-
Do you do fresh 48 in the hospital when the baby is just born?
Yes, I can come to the hospital and capture those first moments of your baby’s life.
-
What’s the typical duration of a newborn session?
Newborn sessions are totally led by the little humans. We give enough time for feeding and diaper change breaks in the middle. However you can assume anything between 2-3 hours for a newborn session.
Maternity
-
What is the best time to plan a maternity session?
The best time to do a maternity session is between 30 and 35 weeks of pregnancy.
-
Do you provide hair and make up services?
The services are not included in the session but I will be happy to recommend hair and make-up artists I have worked with :)
-
Do you provide props for the session?
My style is more candid and natural so I don’t really prefer to use props for maternity sessions. However if you would like to include anything sentimental like a scan or your wedding rings, please do bring them along for the session and I will be happy to include it in the pictures.
