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. Although this is optional, 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
You will receive an online gallery link with all your unedited photos within two weeks of our session. Once you select your favorite photos for editing, you will receive the final photos in two weeks or less!
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?
It depends on the package you choose! Each session includes a minimum of 25 edited photos, personally selected by you. In addition to your edited images, you may purchase the full gallery as an upgrade, which includes all of the high-resolution, unedited photos from your session.
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 all of the unedited photos within two weeks of our shoot. Then, you will have two weeks to select your favorite photos. The final, edited gallery will be delivered within two weeks of your selection date.
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
Payment methods include: Zelle, Wise, Venmo, PayPal and local bank transfer
Can you recommend any photoshoot 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 classic and timeless; they're also usually the most versatile and easiest to match. Dresses/skirts bring movement into the photos. Avoid pinstripe patterns and baseball caps.
How is the weather in Taiwan?
Super fickle! Though since my gear is weatherproof, we will be able to take photos rain or shine! I'd recommend checking the hourly forecast 1-2 days before our shoot. If the weather conditions deem it impossible to take photos, I am happy to find a new time that works.
Can I skip the pre-shoot video chat?
Totally up to you! The video chat isn’t mandatory, but I do encourage it. I set aside time for this call to help make our photoshoot day run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Getting to connect beforehand lets us do introductions, go over any questions, and ensure we’re all on the same page
Will my photos be shared online?
I completely understand that some people prefer to keep their photos private. A private gallery option is available for an additional fee, ensuring your photos remain offline and for your personal enjoyment only.
Will you help us with posing?
Yes, of course! It's my job to make you feel comfortable and look good. My style is more candid, so we won't be posing the whole time. I’ll guide you with a mix of posing direction and fun prompts to help you relax and enjoy your time.
