FAQ

Frequently asked questions about my photoshoots in Montreal

How much does a portrait photo shoot cost in Montreal?

My portrait sessions start at $230. Each session includes personalized guidance, a wide selection of photos after the session accessible via an online gallery, and a set number of retouched photos. Packages can be customized, and additional photos can always be purchased after the session.
You can find my detailed prices on the page Services & Prices.

How long is a photoshoot?

It depends on the package you choose but it is a minimum of 45 minutes because the first minutes are mainly used to get comfortable. For photo therapy, we take the time necessary for you to be comfortable and for the experience to be fully experienced and it takes at least 1h30.

Where does the photoshoot take place?

I offer sessions on the island of Montreal, it can be outdoors or at your home.
For phototherapy sessions, we do it at your home, in your own environment so that you feel comfortable and confident and have access to your wardrobe so that you can change your outfit and accessories if necessary.

I'm not comfortable in front of the camera, is that a problem?

Absolutely not! My role is to guide you and give you confidence. Many people think they are not "photogenic" and end up leaving with photos they love. I guide you with gentleness so that you feel comfortable and confident throughout the session. Don't hesitate to check out my client reviews for some feedbacks.

Qu’est-ce que la photo thérapie ?

Phototherapy or therapy through photography is a unique experience that goes beyond simple portraits. It allows you to reconnect with yourself, strengthen your self-confidence and reveal your beauty. A real boost to your self-esteem! I explain more in detail on the page Photo therapy.

Quelle est la différence entre un shooting portrait et une séance de photo thérapie ?

A portrait shoot is designed to capture beautiful images, whether for personal or professional use (e.g. Instagram, LinkedIn, family photos to make an album, etc.)
Phototherapy goes further: it is an experience of reconnecting with yourself, which allows you to see yourself differently, to strengthen your confidence and to embrace your authenticity. I invite you to consult the different pages of my services for more details (Portrait & Photo therapy).

Do I have to take photos in my underwear or naked during photo therapy?

Absolutely not! There are no obligations. We discuss together what you want and expect from the session and we slowly evolve according to what you want and your limits. I always listen to you and the most important thing is that you feel comfortable and at ease.

Will the photos stay private?

Yes. Your photos are confidential and will never be shared without your consent. If you agree to them appearing on my website or social media, this will only be done with your written permission.

How can I prepare for a photoshoot?

Before each session, I'll give you personalized advice (clothing, makeup, accessories, etc.). The most important thing is to wear clothes that you feel comfortable in and that express yourself. If you'd like, we can discuss in advance to adapt the style of the session to your desires.
You can also send me photo inspirations that you like so I know what style you like and what type of photos you would like to have.
For phototherapy sessions, I also offer makeup and hair services. (charged extra).

When and how will I receive my photos?

After the session, I send you an online gallery within 48 hours with a selection of photos for you to choose your favorite photos (number depending on the package chosen). The retouched images are then sent to you in high definition within 1 week.

Can I purchase more photos than indicated in my package?

Yes, absolutely! If you would like to keep more images than those included, it is possible to purchase additional photos. Packs are available. You will find the details on my page Services & Prices.

Do you offer gift cards?

Yes! I offer personalized gift cards, valid for a portrait or a photo therapy session. It's an original idea for a birthday, a Christmas gift, Valentine's Day, or simply to show someone that you care and love them.

Do you also do professional portraits (LinkedIn, CV, website)?

Yes. I offer professional portraits with a modern and natural look. It's ideal for your LinkedIn profile, resume, or website. However, I only offer portraits in natural light (indoors or outdoors).

How far in advance of my session should I book?

I recommend booking at least 2 to 3 weeks in advance, especially for weekends. For urgent projects, please contact me directly to check my availability.

Do I need to pay for the session in advance? Is it cancellable and refundable?

No, only a 20% deposit of the session fee is required to book a session. The deposit is refundable up to 24 hours before the session start time. No refund is possible for cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance, but the session can be rescheduled.

Do you offer other photography services?

Yes, I am open to real estate projects and events. For more details, you can contact me directly.
