Confidential Paris Photography Packages

These full price packages are for people who prefer full confidentiality.  According to them, photographer can’t publish result of your photo session in the portfolio. These packages have the same conditions as in “Popular packages”.The price is following: 30 mins -300 Euros, 1hour -360 Euros, 2h – 550 Euros, 3h – 800 Euros, 5h – 1200 Euros

Night sessions – 30-40 mins – 400 Euros, 2h – 660 Euros

Confirm your photo session 

If suddenly your plans change – please let me know about the cancellation.

Also, it’s really important for me to get in touch with the client right before the photo session day. One day before the day of the photo session with the photographer in Paris we should get in touch (please, contact me after arrival in Paris) and re-confirm the details about our photo session. Photo session which is not confirmed by 10 pm the night before is considered to be canceled (with no prepayment refund)!

Don’t be late for your photo session! 

It’s about respecting each other’s time.

You are booking your photo session at an exact time and date, so please don’t be late for it. If you are 10 minutes late, it’s not a big deal. Longer than 10 minutes, however, you will be eating away the photo session’s time, a time we could be spending creating amazing pictures. If the photo session is 30 minutes long, I will consider it canceled if you are more than 15 minutes late. For other packages, I can wait up to 20 minutes before canceling the photo session.

How and when will you get pictures?

So in 2-5 DAYS TERM you will get your all camera Jpg files. Pictures will be sent to you in original quality through online gallery.  The gallery will be available for 7 days, so you would have all this time to download pictures on your computer/phone and to pick your favorite pictures (in the amount specified in your chosen package) for the photographer to retouch. After the gallery expires, it will take additional 2-7 days to deliver retouched pictures. If you would like to have more pictures edited – let me know, each additional picture to edit costs 3 Euros. 

As was mentioned above, the gallery will be available for 1 week.  If you need more time – contact me BEFORE the gallery expires. I can extend it for another 1 week. I do not store pictures in the gallery longer than 2 weeks overall. After gallery will go offline, it will be deleted from the cloud. To restore the gallery will be taken fee in amount of 30 Euros.

All pictures are watermark free and you will have full rights for their personal usage!

About the publication

All the ‘POPULAR’ packages grant exclusive rights to the photographer to edit, retouch, alter and publish pictures on her public portfolios and social media websites. 

If you are against publication and want to keep your photoshoot privately for yourself – make sure you pick “CONFIDENTIAL” full price package.

What if you lost the pictures?

As soon as the gallery goes offline, it will be deleted from online storage. That’s why it’s very important that you stay in contact and notify me in advance if you need to extend for a while your time with the gallery. As soon as the gallery goes offline – its re-uploading and re-opening is an additional service. I store your pictures (only in my edited version, no raw camera JPGs are saved) in my archives on external discs for some years. In case you would need access to the pictures gallery – we charge 30 Euros to restore them for you.

If you don’t pick pictures for editing on time

If you don’t pick pictures for editing on time (maximum 2 weeks term) I make a pick on my own and send you edited versions in 2 weeks term after your gallery expires the last time.

Changing outfits 

You can change as many outfits as you like in any of the packages, but keep in mind that changing outfits is counted as the photo session’s time.

Prepayment and Payment conditions

To book a photoshoot I require prepayment (30 Euros). This is my guarantee that you will show up at the precise time and date. So I book this time and date specifically for you and refuse other clients. Prepayment is 100% refundable if you cancel (for any reason) up to 1 month before the photoshoot. If you cancel less than 1 month before the photoshoot (for ANY reason) – prepayment is not refundable.

The rest of the payment should be done after the end of the photo session the same day by cash.  Full payment should be done not later than the next day after the photo session. I do not touch the pictures until the payment is completed. If the full payment is not received in the week following the photo session day, the pictures will be deleted and the photo session considered canceled.

About timing and transportation

During the one-hour photo session, we stay in one area and take pictures in nearby locations (such as Trocadero square and cafés for example). If you want to pick up locations which are further from each other (such as Trocadéro + Louvre), you need to order longer packages (2 hours or more). 

Keep in mind that moving from one location to another and changing outfits is also counted as the photo session’s time. We usually take Uber when changing locations. Travel cost between locations is also not included in the package price.

About the weather in Paris

The weather in Paris is unpredictable. Even if the forecast insists that will rain, we cannot be a 100 % sure until that same morning.

But if it happens and it rains that day, don’t get upset- we can always take a nice umbrella and continue our photo. And it’s so romantic to dance in the rain in Paris.

We can also wait for the rain to stop because it often doesn’t last long.

There is a possibility to shift a photo session due to very bad weather conditions. Of course, it depends on the photographer’s schedule and it requires a bit of flexibility which can be an issue during the High Season time. So i can not give you 100% guarantee of changing date/time in case of an undesired weather forecast. 

In case in the morning of the photoshoot it showers with rain and the photographer takes a decision that the conditions are not suitable to perform the photo shoot, and there is no other option to shift photoshoot for another time/date, photoshoot will be canceled with 100% prepayment refund.

What the postproduction includes

Photo retouching includes – color correction, sharpness, crop, skin softening on the portrait pictures if necessary, removing temporary skin defects such as bruises or pimples. Removing trash from the ground and objects from background which photographer finds necessary and possible to erase. If during photoshoot you will obtain a small stain or make a small hole in the dress, of course, i will do my best to erase it (depends on the proportion of the damage).

It DOES NOT include heavy magazine style retouching – changing colors and details of your outfit, painting over the picture (painting the make up, cleaning dirty or mending torn clothes and so on), removing things from your body (tattoos, braces, dark circles, signs of aging),  radically changing body shapes (though i can mend a bit here and there, but not radically), adding/removing big objects to/from the picture (collaging).

Before photo session with photographer in Paris take care of your look, hair style and make-up.

All retouched pictures are going to be edited according to photographer’s taste as shown in portfolio. There is no DO-over of the editing pictures according to your taste (for example, i would never do brown color correction with lot’s of grain on the picture as it’s not my style at all, it is also won’t be possible to make a sunny day out of the cloudy one).
