Frequently Asked Questions portrait photography

The booking fee is $399. The base package costs $1,950 and includes your day at the studio together with hair&makeup application, fully guided photo session (4-5 outfits) and 10 delicately hand retouched and printed images in a beautiful folio box. In case your session turned out better than expected (and they have the tendency to do so), you can always opt to upgrade the package or add on other products like wall art/prints/digital files at your viewing appointment. 

Our sessions take place in our studio and/or outdoors if that will be your choice. 

First of all, we meet for a pre-session consultation, where we  talk through what you have in mind for your session and what is needed to make that happen. Day of the session starts with an outfit planning, followed by initial hair and makeup. Then we will gradually move through all the outfits/sets, usually starting with something more comfortable/covered, leaving the more undressed/nude sets for the later in the day.  By that time you will feel on top of the world and will have lost most, if not all, of the shyness.

2-3 weeks after your photo session you will be invited back to the studio for in-person viewing appointment, where you will get to see all the beautiful images from your session and make your selections.

Women I photograph are everyday women just like me and you. However, the very big difference is that I do not believe there is such a thing as an ordinary woman. We have moved the mountains, cried the rivers,  lived through all sorts of both encouraging and devastating experiences and we still rise and we still give so much love to the world around us - how can a person like that be considered an ord inary one? And I believe it shows in the way I have photographed other women and it will show in your photographs as well - a no ordinary woman. A fierce woman. A confident woman. 

Yes. Hair and MakeUp is included in our sessions. 

Usually it is 4-5 different outfits with adjustments in hair&makeup as well, if necessary. 

You should expect to spend around 3-4 hours in the studio.  It sounds like a lot of time, but believe me - it will just fly and we will be done before you know it. We highly suggest you plan some nice additional activities afterwards. Dinner with a partner, wine o'clock with your girlfriends - whatever it is that would prolongate the "walking on clouds" feeling for you. 

We will discuss the outfits during our pre-session consultation and what the best choices would be will largely depend on your vision and needs. If you suffer from the good old problem of all women of all times called "I have nothing to wear", you can always opt to just come in and make use of the studio wardrobe. If you would like to elevate this portrait experience even further, we suggest you add services of the professional stylist to your session.

Yes. We provide behind the scenes and during shoot videos that are available with the biggest glam package. 

Yes.

Yes. I do also multigenerational portraits and family portraits. All of course done with Ten Oaks Photography creativity.

Of course we will, but only in case we have your clear permission on that! More often than not our clients love seeing them featured in our Instagram/Facebook account, website, photography competitions or any printed materials. I mean, who doesn't like a spare compliment or two (or 20?)? However, the main idea is to share a part of your personality and provide the encouragement to other women to celebrate their femininity and confidence. 

Yes. I have fall season minis for families with limited amount of session. You may book your spot at any time to ensure you will get it.
