Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect out of a photoshoot?

Usually what happens is we walk around the location of your choosing and if there’s anywhere we feel could be a good photo opportunity, we spend a few minutes there, get the shots we envisioned, crack a few jokes, then move on. If you’d like to know more about how one of my usual photoshoots transpire, feel free to check out my blog where I summarize my photoshoots with friends and clients. After the photoshoot, I’ll edit the photos and send them to you in a Google Photos album or by request, an SD card or other flash memory device. The photos will be available for at least a week for you to download, after which they might be removed. If for some reason you didn’t save the photos in time, I save all my work, so please feel free to ask for a temporary re-upload.

What happens after I click the submit button on the interest form?

I’ll reach out and ask for your availability, and if applicable, ask you if there’s anything in particular you’re looking for from the photoshoot if you haven’t already mentioned it in the form.

Should I know anything about posing before the photoshoot?

You need not. Though it would be great preparation if you could look for inspiration online or in my photo gallery before a photoshoot so you can experiment on your own time with what you believe will make you look the best. If you let me know what poses you would like to replicate, I can make sure we get to them during our photoshoot.

Can I change into multiple outfits during the photoshoot?

Yes, but please understand the session timer will continue. Please make sure your outfit changes will be punctual to avoid losing too much time for the photoshoot itself. Please understand that the minimum guaranteed quota will not be upheld if you or the subject is unavailable for more than 25% of the session.

What if I don’t know where to go for the photoshoot?

Not to worry, I can help you decide and plan out the shoot! If you provide me with what you expect out of your photos, we can browse for locations that may suit your preferences and you can make the final decision.

How many locations can I choose for the photoshoot?

As many as you like, but please keep your locations within walking distance as the session timer will continue as we move from place to place. If there are multiple unique locations you want pictures at, please consider scheduling multiple sessions.

Can I have a longer photoshoot?

Yup, I charge hourly because I don’t like being too strict on time (unless I’m busy). I also offer free overtime if I enjoy your company or I feel like I don’t have enough shots to meet the minimum quota. Rushing makes portrait photos superficial.

Can I bring my friends along? Do you take group photos?

Yes, as many as you’d like. However, please keep in mind that I specialize in individual photography, and the more people you bring, the more time a specific shot will require. Therefore, the minimum shots quota will not be upheld. I have some experience in photographing groups but I don’t see myself as “professional” enough to upcharge my clients for them, the base rate will remain the same regardless of how many people you want in your group photos.

Can I have the RAW or unedited files?

As an amateur photographer looking to share my passion for photography, I see no reason not to let you have your unedited photos if you wish to edit them yourself. There is an additional $50 charge, in exchange for an SD card that can be delivered to you or picked up. Please let me know before a shoot if you want the RAW files so I know to use a fresh SD card for you. If you would prefer instead a JPG export of all the unedited images, those can be provided for $20 and will be delivered to you via Google Drive. Jujube Leaflet takes no responsibility for the photos we don’t edit and I would appreciate it if you simply kept the RAW files or unedited JPG files and edits you make for personal use only.
