5 things about a glamour portrait session you want to know but were afraid to ask
1. Are glamour portraits images like those bad 80s images with big hair, shoulder pads and garish makeup?
No - quite to the contrary a glamour session these days is nothing like the bad 80s glamour images you saw in the past. Today a glamour photoshoot is more Vanity Fair style and like the covers you see in your favourite magazines. It is contemporary stylish and it has changed so much. It’s like a full magazine experience with celebrity style hair and makeup and styled clothes. It is modern, stylish and contemporary. Visit my gallery for some examples.
2. Does glamour mean I have to pose in my underwear?
No - a glamour portrait session includes whatever clothes you like to wear. If you want to be photographed in sexy lingerie then you can, but equally if you are a jeans and t-shirt type of girl/women then that is how I will photograph you. You can wear anything you like from jeans and t-shirt to a full on ball gown. It is entirely up to you. I do however encourage my clients to bring 5-6 outfits so they can show all the different facets of their personality.
3. Do I have to know how to pose or be photogenic?
Did you know that there is actually no such thing as being photogenic? A beautiful photo has everything to do with how comfortable you are in front of the camera . And it is my job. You will be fully guided in your posing so you don’t have to do a thing except for relax and enjoy yourself. During the shoot itself you will be pampered and cared for in a seriously luxurious way. Your hair and makeup will be flawless, and I will guide you into flattering poses and coach you to bring forward a range of beautiful and natural expressions, so you don’t have to know how to model - you don’t even have to be “photogenic.” I will take care of all of that, and capture you beautifully.
4. What if I don’t like any of the images?
My biggest priority is to give you an incredibly beautiful experience during your session, and then to create the most beautiful portraits you have ever seen of yourself. I want to capture the authentic you. I offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee so if you don’t like any of your images you don’t have to buy them. It’s entirely up to you but it is my job to make you want them all.
5. What would I do with 25 images of myself?
I offer 3 portrait packages. A 6 image folio, a 10 image folio and a 25 image folio so that you can choose the right amount of images for you. My middle and largest packages come with a stunning leather folio display from Graphi studio which allows you to swop the photos out and so you always have a different photo on display. You can gift them to your family or relatives or keep them as beautiful legacy portraits for your children and grandchildren.
