Frequently Asked Questions
While it’s not mandatory to hire our makeup artist, we highly recommend it. Professional makeup can truly amplify your portraits, enhancing your natural beauty and ensuring you look your best.
Retouching is a method that we use to improve your portraits. From backgrounds, to any temporary features such as pimples or bruises etc.
We do not alter body parts or body sizes when editing. The most we will do is enhance your hair to make it look fuller if needed.
We have a passion for black and white portraits—99% of our studio shots look stunning in B&W! By providing both color and black & white versions, you get more value from your session, allowing you to choose which style you prefer. Either way, you receive both.
Not at all! We work with everyone—from those who have never had a portrait taken before to professional models. You will be guided through your session and posed in a way that highlights your best features, ensuring a flattering result regardless of your experience.
Our studio can accommodate up to 6 people. Due to the size of our equipment, having more than 6 people would affect the quality of the experience. If you’d like to include more than 6 people, we can arrange an on-location shoot to better accommodate your needs.
Our packages are designed to accommodate either an individual or up to 2 people per session. Professional high-end retouching for more than 2 people becomes time-consuming and can lead to longer turnaround times. For those on a tighter budget, sharing the cost of the session with another person is a great way to make it more affordable.
We do not allow for a split session on location and in studio. Your session is either at our studio or on a location.
Our studio has a garden which we can shoot in.
While we predominantly focus on studio sessions, we do shoot on location as well. Please specify in your booking message where you would like to shoot!
Yes! We encourage every client to bring 3 looks:
- one casual look
- one semi-formal look
- one formal look or a creative look
A 50% non-refundable deposit is due to secure your booking. No date or time-slot is confirmed without payment.
For portrait sessions, if you cancel, the 50% non-refundable deposit will be forfeited. However, if you need to reschedule, you can apply the deposit as a credit towards a future session, provided you contact us at least 48 hours before your original appointment and book a new date and time.
Punctuality
Punctuality is crucial for a smooth session. We allow a 15-minute grace period. If you have not arrived within 15 minutes of your scheduled time, you may reschedule your session one more time.
For example, if your session is set to start at 2 pm, please arrive by 1:55 pm to begin on time. If you arrive late, you have until 2:15 pm to make it. Beyond that, the session will need to be rescheduled.
This policy ensures we can maintain our schedule, as we have other sessions booked and the studio needs to be prepared for each. We dedicate this time to you, and we ask that you dedicate it to us as well.
Although we receive many inquiries about cake smashes and newborn sessions, we’ve decided not to offer these services.
Firstly, our studio lacks the specialized knowledge, props, and equipment needed for safely and effectively handling newborns. While we can accommodate parents holding their newborns during a session, we do not have the expertise for more comprehensive newborn photography.
Secondly, our experience with cake smash sessions has consistently led to unhappy outcomes. Toddlers often become overwhelmed by the studio environment, including our lights and setup, resulting in meltdowns. We believe this may be due to the studio’s sensory stimuli, which can be too much for young children.
When booking with us, you get access to a client portal. Here you can see:
- your account statement
- your gallery
- your contract
- questionnaires
- anything else we add there
The online gallery allows you to view and download your portraits. This stays up for 2 weeks once your session is sent to you.
We only want you to take home what you love!
Depending on your session you receive anywhere from 10-25 portraits to choose from.
Our 30 minute sessions allows for 7 portraits to be chosen and our 60 minute session allows for 14 portraits to be chosen.
You will be given the option to purchase additional portraits or the entire gallery once they are delivered to you.
You do not receive unedited images or all images taken during the session.
According to section 63 of the Consumer Protection Act, vouchers expire after a period of 3 years after the date on which they are issued. This can, however, be extended at the discretion of S Brazier Photography.
Our turn-aroud time is 1-2 weeks.
