- How many pictures will you take of me?
- How long will the session last?
- How many different looks are included in the price?
- How do you direct the actor during your sessions? In other words, do you help the actor to come up with different expressions or is the actor responsible for doing that on her own?
- What colors should I not wear? What color would be best to include in my wardrobe?
- What happens once the session is complete? How do I get my pictures?
- How will I view them?
- What will you give me? A cd with the photos? Will you upload them to a website for me to view?
- How will/can I make copies? How much will they cost?
- What about retouching? Do you offer that service as well? Is there someone you can recommend?
- What about hair and make up during the shoot? Do you provide that service? If so, is it included in the price? Do you have any recommendations with regard to hair and make up? (This is also a moment to express any concerns you have about blemishes you would like not to be visible in your photos, etc.
