What is included in the portrait package?The hourly rate includes your location of choice, unlimited outfit changes, & your images delivered digitally after editing!
-
How many photos should I expect to recieve?For a one hour shoot, you will recieve about 25-30 fully edited images. The longer the shoot, the more photos you'll get, so plan accordingly!
-
What retouching/editing is included?Basic retouching and editing is included (general cropping, lighting adjustments, & stray hair fixing) Any additional editing (acne removal, skin smoothing, etc.) will need to be requested and may incur an additional charge.
-
How do I recieve the finished images?The edited images will be delivered about a week after our shoot date through my website. You will be sent a direct link to your downloadable album that has a password so your images will be for your eyes only!
-
What happens if it rains?We will reschedule! Rain is a pain but the rescheduling process is painless and has no additional fee!
-
What should I wear?Comfort is number one so wear something you can move around in that makes you feel confident! To be more technical, think about where your shoot is taking place and try to avoid blending with your surroundings. For example, don't wear all green to the metroparks in the summer! Need to match your family or significant other? Don't wear the EXACT same thing. Stay within the same color scheme or color family for the best results! Still stuck? Send me photos of what you're thinking, I am here for YOU!
-
What if I don't know how to pose or I'm uncomfortable in front of the camera?Leave it to me! I am here to make you as comfortable as possible and to make your shoot a fun and enjoyable experience. If you're still feeling nervous, here are a couple tips to help ease your worries: -wear something you love: when you feel comfortable, you look comfortable (and confident) -I will never leave you hanging! Of course if you have ideas, I want to hear them, but if you're feeling unsure about where to stand and how to place your hands, I promise to take the lead! -As corny as it sounds, be yourself!! Your images should be a reflection of you just as you are, so instead of compairing yourself to the pinterest pics you saw, let your uniqueness take over and SHINE!
-
Where should I do my shoot?This is something I can never fully answer for you, it's all about your style and what you're looking for in your images! But, my best tip is to think about what you plan to do with the photos and what you'd prefer to have as a backdrop. For example, if you enjoy lots of greenery, consider a park or greenhouse! If city vibes are more your style think of spots downtown or with lots of interesting architecture.

-
Where can I view more examples of your work?The galleries tab is the best place to view my work! Otherwise you can also view some of my favorite photos on my instagram page (@alexandraruggieriphoto)
-
What do I need to bring to my shoot?Technically, you NEED nothing. But make sure you have everything you WANT to bring such as changes of clothes, varsity jackets, sports equipment, blankets to sit on, etc. Anything that makes the shoot feel unique to you, bring it!
-
How can I continue to support you once my shoot is over?My little small biz and I THRIVE on word of mouth so talk to EVERYONE!! And if youre feeling super generous, you could leave a Google review and make my heart skip a beat!
