Photoshoot Frequently Asked Questions

Single Product Name

Q: Why is professional photography so expensive?
A: While it may seem like a big investment upfront, consider the cost of missed opportunities and low-paying clients when your visuals fail to position you as an authority. A single elevated client or project could easily pay for your investment many times over. Also, the unfair advantage of working with me is my experience shooting for global brands, celebrities, and magazines so I bring that level of perspective and service to uplevel you and your brand to that level of play.

Q: Do I really need professional photography?
A: Professional photography isn’t just about pretty pictures—it’s about building trust and credibility with your audience. People form first impressions in under 7 seconds, and strong visuals are critical to standing out and making an impact. Be aware, not having professional photography could be damaging your reputation and leaving money on the table.

Q: Why not just take photos myself?
A: DIY photography may save money upfront, but it often costs more in the long run by failing to attract premium clients. Professional photography ensures your brand looks polished and consistent, setting you apart in a competitive market. A great photographer can direct you and move in ways that you just can't get on your own.

Q: I’m short on time—how will this fit into my schedule?
A: I completely understand how valuable your time is. That’s why I handle all the preparation and creative direction to make the process as efficient as possible. Plus, one session provides a library of visuals that can save you hours every week on content creation.

Q: I’m nervous about being in front of the camera—can you help?
A: Absolutely! Feeling uncomfortable in front of the camera is natural, which is why I provide on-camera coaching to guide you every step of the way. My process is designed to make you feel confident and at ease, capturing your most authentic self. I have worked with everyone from kids in Africa, to entrepreneurs with zero front of camera experience, to global celebrities like Justin Bieber, Usher, Jessica Alba etc. This allows me to coach everyone through the process. 

Q: What if I’m unsure about the process?
A: Don’t worry—I’ll walk you through every step, from planning to execution. Transparency and collaboration are at the heart of what I do, ensuring a seamless experience tailored to your needs.

Q: How do you make sure my photos feel authentic?
A: I specialize in storytelling creative direction, which means every photo reflects who you truly are and what your brand represents. Authenticity is at the heart of everything I do. I have a special ability to capture your higher self essence that you may not even be able to see for yourself. Capturing your essence within the story frame we've crafted brings authenticity.

Q: I’ve had a bad experience with a photographer before. How will this be different?
A: I completely understand your hesitation. This usually happens when you hire the wrong person for the job. My 20+ years of experience has taught me to be able to work with humans of all types and bring out the best of them. That’s why I take the time to deeply understand your vision, ensuring a collaborative and enjoyable experience. Together, we’ll create images you’ll love and be proud to share. 

Q: How can I be sure of your expertise?
A: With 20 years of experience working with top brands, celebrities, and entrepreneurs, I bring a deep understanding of how to create visuals that resonate. My true expertise lies in translating your unique story into images that connect and inspire. If you want to see my commercial and editorial portfolio you can see for yourself here.

Q: What if the results don’t meet my expectations?
A: I work closely with you to set clear expectations and goals before the shoot, so there are no surprises. Every project is tailored to your vision, ensuring the final images exceed what you imagine.

Q: I’m not established enough to invest in professional photography. Is it really worth it?
A: You don’t have to be at a certain level to deserve professional photos. High-quality visuals are a powerful tool to help you reach your goals faster by positioning you as the authority you aim to become. I've had a lot of clients make the investment, discover a whole new version of themselves to step into, and create more opportunities for them and their businesses.

Q: I don’t feel confident or worthy of this investment. Will that show in my photos?
A: Imposter syndrome is more common than you think, but here’s the truth: your audience wants to connect with the real you, not some idealized version. My process is designed to help you step into your confidence and own your unique brilliance. This is also a space to develop yourself. Once you sign the contract, your transformation begins because you're saying yes. I facilitate you through the process.
