FROM START TO FINISH: THE PROCESS OF WORKING WITH ME
01. CONSULTATION
Let’s chat! During our consultation, we’ll discuss what kind of photo session you’re after and what you’d like to achieve. We’ll discuss your vision, brainstorm ideas, and choose the perfect location for your shoot. My goal is to make sure we’re on the same page and that you feel comfortable and excited about the shoot ahead.
02. BOOKING
Ready to lock in your date? Simply place a deposit to secure your spot on my calendar, and we’ll be ready to move forward with planning your shoot.
03. MOODBOARD
Let’s get creative! During the mood board phase, we’ll dive much deeper into discussing ideas and direction for the shoot, including locations, clothing, and any other important details. I will also create a mood board that reflects your unique style and sets the tone for the shoot. If it’s a video shoot, we’ll discuss how to make it extra special and unique.
04. PHOTO SESSION
It’s SHOWTIME! During the photo session, we’ll have a blast capturing your personality and bringing our ideas to fruition. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful. We’ll work together to create images that are not only stunning but also authentically you.

The moment you’ve been waiting for! Within 72 hours of your session, I’ll upload your photos to a password-protected gallery. Take your time to choose your favorites – I’ll handle the rest.

TESTIMONIALS
”Working with Paula was such a great experience! I've had the opportunity to work with several professional photographers in my time and Paula is definitely up there as one of the most creative, diligent, talented and supportive of them all.
Before shooting, Paula was super helpful in creating a mood board that brought to life the ideas and suggestions we had previously discussed, such as the style of the shots, the types of poses etc. This was super helpful in creating a visual guide for the shoot.
Paula also scouted several locations in London that best fit the style of clothing I planned on wearing, which I thoroughly appreciated as I’m not based in London. The energy Paula had on the shoot day was infectious and her creative ideas seemed endless! Besides having so much fun shooting together, I now have an arsenal of new poses for any future shoots I do, all thanks to her.”

FAQ
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN IMAGE RETOUCHING?
Image retouching is kept quite natural. I don’t perform any heavy retouching I still want to make sure that you look like yourself 🙂
Photo retouching includes mild skin smoothing, facial contouring (enhancing highlights and shadows), removal of minor blemishes, spots, eye brightening & sharpening, and the reduction of wrinkles/under-eye circles.
what should i wear?
Wear something that reflects your style and makes you feel great! Choose clothes that also complement the location you’ll be photographed. My goal is to capture your unique personality and the best way to do that is when you feel comfortable and confident in what you’re wearing. If you’re still unsure of what to wear, feel free to get in touch and I’ll be happy to help you choose an outfit that works best for the locations we’ve chosen for the shoot.
Tips:
Best to avoid wearing anything with big logos or graphics as they can be distracting in the photos.
WHAT IF IT RAINS?
The great British weather 🙂
I know, it can be unpredictable at times! I’ll keep a close eye on the weather nearer your shoot date. But don’t worry, rain doesn’t have to ruin our photo session. In fact, rain can create some of the most beautiful and moody photo opportunities.
However, if the day is looking very rainy, windy or very cold I may ask to rearrange your session.
what's the best time of day for our shoot?
If you’re a morning person, I’d suggest waking up early for a sunrise shoot. The city is much quieter in the early hours of the morning, giving us a chance to capture some stunning shots in a peaceful setting.
If early mornings aren’t your thing, no problem! Another great time is in the late afternoon leading up to sunset.
DO YOU SHARE YOUR RAW FILES?
No, I don’t. RAW files are essentially unfinished products that require post-processing to look their best. Part of my service is to carefully select and edit the best images to tell your story in a beautiful photo series. You are trusting me to use my expertise to create the best possible outcome for you. Rest assured, you will receive high-resolution JPEG files.
what is the photo print release
A photo print release is included with the purchase of any digital images. This allows you non-commercial use of the images, including unlimited prints (at home or with a printer) and sharing with friends/family and on social media.
will you put our images on social media?
Many of my new clients find me through social media, and I bet that’s how you stumbled upon my work too. I love sharing images from my sessions, as it helps me showcase my portfolio and attract more awesome clients like yourself. Of course, I totally respect your privacy and understand if you prefer to keep your images private. Just let me know and I won’t share them anywhere. No hard feelings, promise!
I hold the copyrights to the images, but you have permission to use them as long as it’s not for commercial purposes. And if you do decide to share them, I would really appreciate it if you could tag me @shotsbypaula so that more people can discover my work. Thank you so much!

HOW DO I BOOK?
Please book in advance! To secure your preferred date, I require a deposit of 50%. This will ensure that the date is reserved just for you and your partner. And don’t worry, if the weather decides to play games or something unexpected comes up, we can always reschedule and your deposit will be transferable to a new date.
To get started, simply let me know your preferred date and we’ll go from there. I’ll also send you my standard terms and conditions, which are pretty straightforward and attached to your invoice.

DO YOU HAVE CANCELLATION POLICY?
Yes, I do. It is 25% of the total value of the shoot five days prior and 50% 24hrs prior to the scheduled photo shoot date.
