While you may have an idea that you want one of two photos to take home with you, this is probably one of your first shoots so you will not be aware of the time that goes into the shoot itself. As it is a 'one time' event, we try to shoot many photographs so that you have a selection to chose from, but not only this, but each tilt, and expression can make a lot of difference to the final photo as well as other technical things that the photographer will carry out during the shoot.
For a simple shoot, you will need to consider an hour and a half, this is due to set up, lighting checks, test shots etc, as well as you getting ready for the shoot. If you were having two changes of clothes new hair and makeup then this could jump significantly in the time on the shoot. For a full and wide range of photos where you are aiming for around ten photos, can take almost a day. We don't rush you but we will offer you cover to get what you want unlike other photographers that will stop the shoot or charge you a large amount of money for the extra time.
