Before you contact me to book a session, please read the following information carefully…
Pre-consultation
The pre-consultation is done via e-mail and consists of messages to get to know each other and to help us have a clear vision of our aim for the photo shoot. We will choose a date and time, and decide if the shoot will take place in the studio or outdoors. Please continue reading before contacting me, there is a lot of information you will find useful!
How far in advance should we book the session?
Please get in touch with me about 2 months prior to your desired date for the photo shoot so I can have a spot saved for you. If it slipped your mind and you want a last-minute session, please write to me anyway… you might be lucky!
Who can come to the sessions?
In order to make the most of your shooting time, I ask that only those being photographed come to the session.
Where do the maternity sessions take place?
Some maternity sessions are held at my small and cozy home studio located in Haidhausen, Munich. I also do maternity sessions outdoors, usually surrounded by nature and with golden light! Do you want to go to a park full of green in the middle of the day? Or the mountains at sunset with golden light? Or by the river? Please let me know if that is what you are interested in so we can talk about it. Travel fees apply for greater Munich and surrounding areas.
Home studio’s address and how to get here
The address is Welfenstr. 23, Munich 81541. If you are coming by car, there is usually no problem parking in the street. If you cannot find a spot, there is a private parking garage right across the street. If you are coming by public transportation, the lines and names of the stops nearby are the following: S-Bahn (stop Rosenheimerplatz), Tram 15 and 25 (stop Regerplatz), bus 62 (stop Regerplatz), bus X30 (stop Schwester-Eubulina-Platz), tram 17 (stop Ostfriedhof).
Deposit, final payment and payment methods
– Once all the details are finalized, a €100* retainer fee will be invoiced to save your date. The deposit is non-refundable and the payment must be received within 1 week from the session booking date.
– The final payment can be made after your photo shoot but before you receive your photos. No photos will be made available to you before the payment is received.
– You can pay cash on the day of the shoot, or you can wire the total amount. In each case, an invoice will be sent to you via e-mail.
What is not allowed during the sessions?
As you are trusting me to photograph your little one, no other kind of photography during the shoots is allowed, including your own cameras and cell phone photos. Thank you for understanding.
What to wear
For studio sessions I have a lot of outfits for you to wear: different skirts, dresses, tops, wraps, and pieces of fabric. You are welcome to bring some outfits as well, though I recommend that you bring white, black and pastel colors only. Before starting with the photos, we will go through all the outfits and choose them together. For on-location sessions, you can also wear the outfits I use in studio sessions, though you can also wear more casual outfits. Please let me know what you would like to wear, bear in mind that it should also be in harmony with the surroundings.
How will I get to see and choose the photos?
For packages XS to L, you will receive an email 1-2 weeks after your session with a link to your online gallery. These photos will contain a watermark and they will have a number displayed next to them. You will then send me a list via email with the numbers you have chosen. For package XL you won’t have an online gallery, you will receive the images preselected by the photographer (between 30 and 40 color photos plus their black and white conversions).
How long will it take for me to receive the photos?
I usually take 1-2 weeks to have your gallery ready for viewing. After you have selected your photos, it usually takes 1 week for me to have the final work done. Some times during the year are exceptionally busy (Christmas, for example) and I might need a few extra days. My goal is always to offer the best possible results, and that means that sometimes I will need some extra days. Thank you for understanding!
Color and black & white
You will receive all the color photos you choose, as well as all the black & white conversions of the same photos.
How will I receive the photos?
You may choose from the following to receive your digital images:
– Dropbox – no charge
– CD €5*
– DVD €6*
– 1GB USB stick €10*
Bear in mind that some of these data storage devices could be too small for the amount of photos you choose to have, so you might need a bigger one. CDs, DVDs and USB sticks should be picked up at the studio. For your convenience, I can also mail them to you and a €15* shipping charge will apply.
Final image quality
The photos you receive will be high resolution, top quality, watermark-free, hand-edited, ready-to-print images.
Do you offer print packages?
No, I do not offer prints, but I can recommend online stores for you to print your photos.
