Frequently Asked Questions

 
  • Within 2 working days, we’ll send you a link to a private online gallery of the whole shoot.

    You can then take your time to choose the images from the gallery that you want retouched and finalised.

    Once you’ve chosen which images you want retouched, please allow 2 working days for me to finalise the headshots.

    If you’re working to a specific deadline, let me know and I will do everything possible to get you your images in time.

  • We offer a simple pricing structure with convenient online booking.

    We’ll ask you to pay a 15% deposit when you book. You only pay the balance once you’ve finished the session.

  • My workflow is completely digital so you will receive - by email - high resolution, digital files from the shoot.

    I will also send you a set of the images that have been resized and are ready for publishing on the web.

  • Getting a good night’s sleep, staying hydrated, avoiding excessive alcohol the day before – these are all good tips for arriving at your headshot session ready to look great. But I know life gets in the way. If you’re fitting this into a hectic schedule, just follow this downloadable PDF on what to wear, show up, and let me do the rest. It really doesn’t need to be stressful.

  • I’m a 20 min drive from Tauranga / Mount Maunganui on Plummers Point Road, near Omokoroa

  • Everyone is photogenic. When people don’t look good in photos it’s more to do with them being uncomfortable or nervous. I’ll guide you through the process to make sure you are relaxed, and you’ll find that you enjoy it. If we take a picture we don’t like, we’ll delete it!

  • Of course! Based on your skin and hair colouring, and your chosen wardrobe, I can advise on what works best for the mood you want to create. I can also create custom colours as needed for corporate branding.

  • Absolutely! This is the most convenient option if you need family portraits or professional headshots for your team or company. I can also shoot at your project location, building site, on farms and orchards. Let me know where you are based and how many people are in the team and I will give you quote.

  • Retouching headshots is about quality control. Every tiny detail is assessed; if it is distracting, it gets removed. Temporary blemishes, stray eyebrows, cat hairs, etc, are all dealt with so that the focus remains on your expression. All images are optimised for brightness, colour and contrast.
