FAQ’s Q. How soon should I contact Kylie Johnson Photography? A. ASAP – demand is high and spaces are filled months in advance. Q. How long will the photo shoot take? A. The shoot can take anywhere from 1-2 hours. To create a lovely, natural feel to the photographs I take a relaxed and friendly approach to the photo shoot. We chat and have some fun. If you are having a good time, it will show in the photographs! Q. Can our pet be part of the photo-shoot? A. Most definitely. A pet is just as much part of your family as anyone else, so why not be part of this experience too. Plus, pets help to create the lovely candid moments that make the images so special. Q. Do you come to the home? A.Yes we do. Your own home reflects you and who you are, so it’s a great location. Q. What is the best time for a photo shoot? A. In the studio or an inside location can be done at any time of the day really. If children are involved, it’s best to make a time that your child is usually at his/her best. Outside shoots are best done in the morning or late afternoon when the light is at its best. But if the location has a lot of shady trees, anytime of the day would be fine. We can discuss this further and guide you to what is going to best. Q. What if it rains? A.Unless it’s actually bucketing down or storming, it can make for nice images! The light is usually lovely and soft and can create a gorgeous feel to your photographs. You could even embrace the situation and put on some gumboots and raincoats and have some fun with it! Umbrellas make a nice prop in images also. This can be discussed further with your photographer. The worst-case scenario would be to re-schedule and you would receive priority for the next time slot available. Q. Can the children wear costumes? A.Costumes are always fun and its what being a kid is all about. We are more than happy to photograph your children with costumes on. If you would like them to wear ‘normal’ clothes as well, just bring them along and they can always get changed. Q. What sort of clothing is best? A.You can discuss this further with us at the pre-plan appointment, but generally plain is better. No patterns or big logos, because they look messy and take the attention away from what’s important. So, stick with plain colours. They can be pastel or bold, just as long as they are plain. Denims also look really lovely in images. By keeping it simple, the images won’t date and you can hang them on your wall for a lifetime without being embarrassed by your styling at the time. Q.
