Not knowing what to expect is the biggest source of nerves before an event. In practice it runs in a fixed order, start to finish.
The session starts with a few minutes to settle in and talk through what you’re hoping to get, even if that’s already been discussed beforehand, and from there direction stays constant throughout so there’s no standing around wondering what to do next. Once the shoot wraps, a proofing gallery follows within a couple of days. A first look, before anything is retouched.
Final delivery follows once retouching is complete, with the timeline agreed clearly at the point of booking rather than left open-ended.
