FAMILIES

In-home family photoshoot in Dubai.

Session duration — 1,5-3 hours. Times may vary depending on the number of children and their age. But don't worry, there are no strict limits — my approach is to capture all your precious moments and no matter how much time it may take.

You will get 40-50 edited and naturally retouched digital photos + a couple of black & white photos delivered via a private online gallery. You can download all your high resolution images from the gallery, as well as share them with your family and friends. Printed photos and RAW files are not included in the package.

Maximum turnaround time — 3 weeks.

Final images are selected by myself, but I can assure that you will get absolutely all the best shots. As a result, you might receive even more than the standard number of photos for no additional cost.

Pre-session consultation is included in the package. You will ask all your questions and get some recommendations regarding outfits, time, ideas, etc.

The payment is made in full on the day of the photoshoot.

It may sound as a cliche, but home is truly where the heart is. All family members feel relaxed as they are in the most comfortable place possible during indoor sessions. Stress-free, cozy and fun atmosphere allows to get honest and authentic photos with real emotions and feelings that will definetely become your most precious memories. A home based photoshoot can be the best option for families with small babies, as there is no need to worry about weather or time limits, and spend too much time traveling between locations with all baby essentials.

I always take photos with natural window light and don't use any flashes or lamps. My aim is to keep the same mood and atmosphere on my photos as it was during the session. No matter how many windows you have and how big they are, as long as you have at least one window in a room you have enough light to do a photoshoot. Just keep in mind that if your windows are really huge and sunny, the final images will be bright and airy. And if it's darker, photos will have more dramatic vibes with beautiful shadows.

Outfits can affect the final look and feel of the photos. I am not a professional stylist, but years of experience taught me that certain clothing and colors may work better than others. My favourite colors and tones are neutral, pastel, beige and earthy. I recommend plain and timeless outfits without any logos, prints and geometric patterns. Anything too bright or overly-detailed will put the focus on the clothes rather than you. Avoid too formal wear as it will look unnatural at a family photoshoot. And the most important point — your clothes should be comfortable, so choose something that you feel good in. I will give you some more simple suggestions during pre-session consultation.

Take it easy! Photoshoots with small babies never go as it was initialy planned, and that's the reason why I love them. There are no forced smiles or unnatural poses on my sessions, let your kids behave as they want at this moment. Keeping yourself calm and having patience is the best way to calm a newborn. I think there is something beautifully intimate about capturing parents soothing their baby. And don't forget that I'm absolutely flexible with time limits so you can take a short break whenever you or your baby need it.

Any special preparations are not required. But if you don't want to see certain details on your final photos, it's better to clear them away before a session as they cannot be removed while editing. It's a good thing to minimize clutter and hide all messy stuff such as piles of laundry, electronic devices and chargers, miscellaneous household items, old magazines, bills, papers, etc. But deep cleaning is not necessary, so feel absolutely relaxed if you don't have time to vaccuum the carpet or whipe the floor.
