taking pictures On the day of your session, we 'll meet at the agreed location and time and start snapping away! A portrait session can take anywhere from
1-2
hours. There's really no rush - or general time limit - just what feels natural. It generally takes at least 30 minutes for us to "warm up" together, meaning getting comfortable and feeling relaxed in front of(or behind!) the lens. After that, it's really up to the photographed subject as to how long the session will last. Tbis is the fun part - let us do the work!
