FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Some things to know
How do I book a shoot?
Call or email Ted to schedule a time. He will then send you a calendar event and email with all of the information that you need.
How soon can I book my appointment?
It’s best to schedule a week or two in advance, but sometimes we can take you as soon as same day.
What should I do to prep for my shoot?
Make sure your clothes aren’t dirty or wrinkly, come looking your best, and drink plenty of water the night before and morning of to keep your skin well balanced.
What if I have no experience being on camera?
This is actually very common. Ted has many methods to capture the most authentic version of you. He will direct you along the way, so that you get into the moment and out of your head about how you look. It’s actually quite fun and often funny.
When do I get my proofs and final shots?
If it’s a quick one-off professional look then the final shot is chosen and touched up before you leave the studio. If it’s a longer shoot or an on-location shoot, then right after the shoot Ted sends you a link of online Proofs. Once you pick your favorite shots from the proofs, touchups are complete usually within 24-48 hours.
Do you watermark your photos and make me pay to remove your logo?
No. We don’t keep your photos hostage. Although we recommend you wait for your final touched up, you are free to post any raw proofs online. We only watermark images for clients who have yet to pay.
Do I need to book hair and makeup?
This is up to you. If you think you need hair and makeup then we can bring you one of our partner stylists for an additional fee. You can also get your hair and makeup done before your appointment.
Can I pay by credit card?
Yes. Of course. We even accept bitcoin.
