Currently my smallest branding session comes with 30 photos included. If you're looking for a smaller package, make sure you join my mailing list. I sometimes provide branding mini sessions that consist of smaller packages. Also you can always reach out - we may be able to set up a custom package for you depending on your needs. 

Absolutely! I always come to the session prepared with moodboard we've prepared together that includes some poses and scenes we want to capture. I will also provide guidance on posing and prompts for different photos. I will ask you to be a little adventurous during the shoot - for example, I may ask you to help me incorporate some movement for more natural photos or even to express some emotions. The key thing is to try to have fun and know that I will only send you the best photos we create together. 

I also struggle being photographed and my best photoshoots have come when I just lean into the session despite the discomfort and try a lot of different angles, movements, and expressions. It can be really fun if you allow that experimentation and it leads to the best results, for sure. So it's going to be a collaborative process - we'll work together to get the best photos we can. 

After the session, I will select all of the best images we took together. I'll upload those to an online proofing gallery as watermarked JPEGs. I'll then ask you to select the final images you want edited. I'll then edit them and perform light re-touching as needed. Finally, I'll upload them to the gallery as high resolution digital files and send you the instructions on how to download them. 

You will receive the link to your proofing gallery within (1) week of the photo session date. After you select the final photos, the final images will be delivered within (2) weeks. If there is any unforeseen delay, I will make sure to let you know. 

I'm careful with retouching. I will usually discuss this process with you during our planning call as every client has different preferences. Generally, I will remove prominent blemishes (not natural marks) and run a very light skin smoothing edit in Photoshop. As a general principle, I do not adjust body shapes (waist, stomach, legs, etc.).

Unlike other photography just for personal use, brand photography is all for the purpose of sharing to SELL. A commercial use license is what grants you the freedom to share your photos for advertising purposes.

I include my commercial usage license in my brand packages just to make things easier for you. The details of the usage are in your contract that you sign at the start. The license I grant allows for online use (social media and your website) and printing for the sole use of the business (e.g., business cards or limited business-funded advertising) but does not authorize selling, sublicensing or distribution of photos to any third party. For example, if you were approach by a magazine for use of the photograph or wanted to use the licensed photos for advertising in a third party product, you would need to get in touch with me to purchase the right to distribute the photograph in those ways.

It's important to know that as the photographer I retain copyright of the images, which means you are not able to sell the images, claim the photos as your own, or list them on stock websites. Under Canadian copyright law, I also have moral rights to the work. This includes the right to the "integrity" of the work, meaning that you are not permitted to modify or manipulate the photographs (including applying filters, cropping, or colour correcting) without my permission. This will be detailed in the contract.

If you as the client want to own the copyright of the photos, that is something we can discuss as an option but does come with an additional fee and would require an additional contract where I would waive moral rights over the photographs.
