FAQ
When should I book my maternity or newborn session?
I recommend booking your session as early as possible so you don't miss out. I have a limited number of sessions available each month. Booking early also allows me to accommodate any special requests you might have.
How do I prepare for my maternity session?
I do everything to make your session as stress-free as possible. We will have an online, phone or in person consultation about your wardrobe, hair style and makeup application style. You will arrive at the studio, where my hair and makeup artist will prepare you for your session. Sometimes my stylist is able to travel to your home for an additional travel feel. Please bring the following items with you to your session. 1 — Nude, black and white color bras. No nursing bras please. It is best to bring the bras that you wore before pregnancy, even though they might feel little tight. 2 — Nude, white and black color underwear. It is best that your underwear is simple and plain, without any print or pattern. Thong type underwear works the best!
How do I prepare my baby for newborn session?
If possible, try to interact with your baby for an 1 hour before the session to make her little tired and be ready to feed her upon arrival to my studio. If you are breastfeeding, please pump some extra milk in a bottle if you can. If you are substituting, please bring all necessary bottles, and pre-made formula to be able to feed the baby when needed. Please bring little extra formula or milk just in case. Full belly, "milk drunk' babies are the sleepiest :)
Please bring a couple of pacifiers. It is very important. I will use pacifier to soothe the baby during session.
What if I don't feel beautiful after giving birth? Should I have my portrait taken?
I understand. I have been there. Although you might not feel like yourself, I really encourage you to have your portrait taken with your baby. My makeup and hair stylists will work their magic and I will photograph you from flattering angles. All newborn portraits are taken portrait style, from waist up. I will also use post production techniques that will enhance your natural beauty in your photos.
When will we get our photos?
Your final gallery will be available for viewing up to two weeks after your session. Digital copies of the images you purchase will be available to you two days after your ordering appointment via private download and your products will be available to you in 4 - 6 weeks after.
Can I purchase RAW files?
I am sorry, I do not release images that have not gone through post production.
Do you offer print products?
Yes, absolutely! I offer Custom Design Album, Gallery Wrap Canvases, Acrylic Prints Fine Art Prints, Wall Art, Canvases, Paintings and more! I only work with highly reputable and established laboratories, located in Europe and USA. I get asked why I don't work with a Canadian company and my answer is because I only offer the best to my clients and I have not found a company here that lives up to the highest standard. All printed images are accompanied by high resolution digital files at no additional charge.
Do you keep client backups?
No, I do not keep client backups. It is your responsibility to make copies and insure storage of your images.
What happens to images I did not purchase?
They are deleted.
What is your cancelation / refund policy?
Your session can be rescheduled 48 hours prior to your appointment. In case of cancelation, your deposit / session fee is non-refundable.
Do you offer outdoor sessions?
I do not offer outdoor sessions at this time.
Do you offer promotional pricing?
Few times a year I will offer promotional pricing on select products. Please follow my Instagram account @vavazoomstudio and stay in the loop about my promotional pricing, specials, monthly mini sessions and model calls!
Do I have to sign a contract?
Yes, in order for us to have a professional client / photographer relationship, contract must be signed. Your session will not take place without signed contract.
Where do I park my car when I arrive at the studio?
There is unlimited free street parking.
Health Safety
All area and props are thoroughly washed / sanitized after each session. I don't book more than one session per day and I am happy to wear a mask if requested.
I ask that if you or any of your family / household members have any symptoms of cold or flu, please kindly reschedule your session.
