FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your most common questions, answered with care — from wardrobe and participation to posing, body confidence, and what happens if life happens.
- Ensure you coordinate the outfits of those joining the shoot.
- I typically recommend black clothes as your newborn is the show's star.
I pay closer attention to small details, such as where your hair falls, the flow of your garments, and the positioning of your hands. These details can ruin an otherwise great photo.
I also have a degree in the humanities from Wits University.
- Expert Posing: I guide you to look natural and flattering.
- Classic Lighting Styles: Create striking moods and effects.
- Attention to Detail: Every aspect, from hair to hand positioning, is carefully refined.
Lousy photography is even more expensive. If you don't like your photos, you will have wasted your money; if a re-shoot is possible, you will have to spend more. It is better to get it right the first time.
I will gladly answer any questions to help you make an informed decision you won't regret.
