Questions worth asking before you book a portrait session

A short list of questions, asked before you pay a deposit, does more to protect a portrait session booking than any amount of portfolio browsing.

  • How many images will I actually receive, and how many of those are retouched?
  • What if the weather, venue or schedule changes on the day?
  • How long until I see a proofing gallery, and how long after that until every last file is actually delivered and usable?
  • Is travel beyond central London included?
  • Can I see a full, unedited example of a similar session, not just the highlights reel?

None of this is awkward to ask. Any photographer worth booking will have clear answers ready, and Emmet.t.c’s portrait session bookings (from £400 for a studio session, or from £1,000 for a branding session) are built to answer every one of these before you commit.

FAQs

A couple of quick answers.

How quickly do I get my images?
A proofing gallery lands within 48 hours. Retouched finals follow within a week, or faster when a deadline says so.

What does the £400 studio session include?
An hour and a half in the studio, up to three outfit changes and five fully retouched images chosen by the client. Extra retouched images can be added after the shoot.
