The sessions are on a first come first served basis. These are very popular sessions awaited by many clients and hence early booking is recommended. Once full capacity is reached, bookings will be closed and no new dates will be added.
A non-refundable deposit of 25 euros payable via Revolut on 99742404 is required to ensure a slot. Should you do not have Revolut kindly reach out to me and I can send you the bank details. Once deposit is sent kindly send me a private message so I can confirm reciept for it.
Should a family member/child be sick on the day of the session, a new date is given. If a reschedule is not possible for any reason including end of sessions amongst others then the deposit will be used for another session of your choice in the year 2025..
In the unlikely case whereby the photographer is unable to do the session due to sickness or other family emergencies than a new slot will be given.
Remaining outstanding payment is to be settled in cash or Revolut on the day of the session. No galleries for selection will be sent if the balance remains unsettled.
Estimated delivery of gallery for selection from the date of the session is 5 days.
The images will be edited in the order of the date that they are selected and can take anywhere up to two weeks depending on the workload at the time. Galleries that are selected after the 10th of December will be edited after the holidays and will not be ready in time for Christmas so please try to prioritise selecting them in time.
For those who wish to see how the backdrops will look kindly message me and I will send you the images. No sneak peeks will be done as the sets will be done a few days prior to the actual sessions as they involve dismantling studio equipment to accommodate the sets as well as to include props.
A change of outfits is allowed for the kids only however it is optional and one may opt for one set of clothes.
For this year's Main set I would recommend bringing in a nice coat for the kids (Christmas coat- red/green or white) would look nice as well as a beanie/snow ear mufflers. Any Christmas colours will do with this year's porch set up.
As for the kids set, since it is Cocoa themed and the backdrop is a little on a darker side, neutrals like creams and whites will look lovely as well as greens.
Babies younger than 6 months will need to be hand held for the duration of the session.
Kindly limit items brought in studio
Shoes to be worn in the session are to be brought clean in a separate bag and worn before the session in the studio. These studio sessions include young babies and toddlers so hygiene is of utmost importance.
There will be a 10 minutes gap between clients and that will be used for the disinfection of the props/carpets/floors as well as resetting of props.
No shows without a valid explanation will not be welcomed again for future sessions
No Raws/unedited images will be given to clients. These are not a representation of my final work/artistic ability. If you wish to purchase additional images over what your package includes these will cost 8 euros/image. The gallery will be put down once images have been edited and selected to make space for additional galleries. Raws will be deleted after three months following the session for storage purposes.
Editing includes basic retouching for blemishes etc as well as extension of sides to the backdrops amongst others. No editing will be done for make up, nail polish, hair roots, clothes wrinkles so please plan accordingly in advance as this is a very busy period of time of year.
My studio includes expensive equipment in terms of backdrops, lights, camera gear and props so children need to be supervised throughout the session.
Please note that I will do my best to make the children comfortable however I cannot guarantee that they will cooperate, smile etc. If you feel that your little one is cranky on the day of the session and is not up to it for any reason, please feel free to contact me and I will happily reschedule you to another day, if this is possible.
Kindly respect time of arrival for these sessions. Arriving at least 5 minutes before the scheduled time is recommended. On arrival please call me on 99742404, I will open the gate and you may drive through. Location for the session is as follows: https://goo.gl/maps/RzUfwJuGAGQ5oiqo8
I am located in a private residence as you approach the first villas/farmhouses when coming up the valley from Mosta or the last villas/farmhouses if you are coming from the direction of Mgarr. My gate is right next to the first sleeping police as you are entering Bidnija from the Mosta side.
Late arrivals will be allocated a shorter time slot so please plan accordingly keeping in mind traffic, time of day and road closures.
Pets are welcome in these sessions however kindly inform me beforehand.
Extended families including cousins and grandparents will need to book two separate slots. No two families are allowed in one slot.
