F.A.Q.

Where will the photographs be taken? Do you have a studio?

• Since my focus is lifestyle photography I do not own or use a photography studio. In other words, the location of your session is all up to you! However, I can also recommend some scenic locations as well. Your session includes any locations within 45 minutes from Uruma City. If you'd like a location that is outside this distance (such as Fukushen Gardens, a time & travel fee applies.)
  
  

When should I make the payment?

• Payment in full can be made the day of your session, right after your session is completed. Please pay in US Dollars, not Yen.

When will I receive my photographs? 

• I will usually post a sneak peek photograph on my Facebook page within a few days following your session. Afterwards, I will hand deliver all of your photographs on your DVD in approximately 10-14 days after your session. If you need your photographs by a certain date please let me know ahead of time.

What should I wear?
Great question! Here are some tips!

• Wear something that you're comfortable in. Something that shows off your personality. Then kick it up a notch!
  
• Don't wear matching outfits. Coordinate, yes, but don't match!
  
• Add accessories and bring some different ones along with you to your session. (i.e. jewelry, watches, a scarf, hats, jackets)

• Solid colors look great on everyone and small patterns and/or textured fabrics add interest.
• Avoid big patterns & vertical or horizontal lined fabric.
  
• For females: If you wear a thin or delicate fabric, please try it on beforehand and make sure your undergarments don't not show through.
  
• If you have kids, I suggest that you get their opinion and see what they'd like to wear! Ask them directly or give them a few options and go from there. If you make them wear something that they hate, the likelihood of a lot of smiling from your kid(s) plummets dramatically! 
• Final thing... just remember, if you have an outfit that makes you feel great about yourself, that's what you should wear! The better you feel about yourself, the more that feeling will be conveyed in your images. 

What if I'm late to the session?

• Natural light photography depends greatly on the time of day in which your session takes place. If you are late, there is less possible time to capture images in the best possible light. Please try your hardest to be on time for this reason. If you do happen to be late more than 15 minutes, your session will be cancelled for that day and can be reschedule for another time but an extra charge of $50 will be added to do so. If you know you're going to be late and are able to let me know at least 2 hours before your session you are allowed to reschedule without incurring the extra charge.

What if I have to reschedule?

• Life happens. That's totally understandable! If you need to reschedule please let me know as soon as possible. My calendar may have already filled up and the longer you wait to reschedule the further back your new session date will be pushed.
