My approach
01.
Questionnaire
Fill out the contact form to start the conversation! After we're in touch, I will send you a questionnaire so I can learn more about your vision. When we have the basic photoshoot details in agreement, your time slot reservation will be confirmed once I receive the retainer for the shoot.
02.
A Quick Chat
After your session time slot is reserved, I would love to set up a time with you for a quick video chat so we can get to know each other prior to the shoot day. Though not required, I want to meet you and hear more about your story before I meet you in-person.
03.
Picture Day
The big day! We'll start off with a few warm-up shots and then jump right into our time together. I'll be your ultimate hype-girl. Your job is to just enjoy our time together and have fun.
04.
Photo Delivery
In two to three weeks, you will receive your edited gallery that you share favorite, download, and share with your friends and family!
What others are saying about KWEI
We loved that the whole experience from getting our questions answered prior to confirming our photoshoot, up till the shoot day itself, was so easy and Kristen was very responsive and provided us many location options to choose from. Our favorite was how she interacted so well with our little girl and managed to get her to cooperate with her cues during the shoot, that was amazing! Really no complaints, everything was so smooth and we were really happy with the process and how lovely the photos turned out!
How many photos will I receive?
For each one-hour session, you will receive all of the unedited photos from our session, and 25 edited photos, selected by you. You can download all the photos from the gallery, choose your favorites and share them!
Please keep in mind that it is your responsibility to store them somewhere safe and secure before the gallery expires.
How quickly will I receive my photos?
You will receive an online gallery link with all your unedited photos within one week of our session. Once you select your favorite photos for editing, you will receive the final photos in two weeks or less!
If needed, I offer an additional rush fee to prioritize your photos and deliver your full gallery within a week.
How does payment work?
1st payment: 50% non-refundable retainer to reserve your session
2nd payment: 50% due the day of the shoot
Payments can be made through direct bank transfer or PayPal. Photos will not be delivered unless the quoted price is paid in full.
Can I skip the pre-shoot video chat?
It is not mandatory, but I highly encourage it! I make time to do the video chat with my clients to help make our photoshoot day go as efficiently as possible. Doing introductions before the photoshoot day will allow all of us to show up ready and excited for our time together. We won't waste time saying awkward hellos or trying to figure out each-other's vibes. It also is an opportunity to clarify any questions so that we are all on the same page.
Can you recommend any locations?
Yes, I'd love to! It often depends on the type of photos you want, the vibes you enjoy, and the memories you want to capture. We can get in touch and I'll suggest some locations that can fit your needs.
What should I wear for the photoshoot?
Whatever make you feel the most comfortable and confident in! Neutral, solid colors are usually the most versatile and easiest to match. Dresses/skirts bring movement into the photos. Avoid pinstripe patterns and baseball caps.
