Why we review pictures during our session

Why review images during a shoot?

It slows everything down, right? Actually, those 20 minutes save you HOURS. Here’s why both clients and I love it:

  • Together is better
    You get my sixth sense for authenticity, honed over the last decade+ of making headshots and portraits. I get your instant feedback.
  • Real-time refinement
    You see the results of direction. If something’s not working, we know to fix it or move on.
  • Break time
    Reviewing is a natural rest point. We chat, I show you some visual references, and we decide to start a new look or keep going.
  • It’s all good!
    We set aside everything we like and delete everything we don’t. Every shot is one you already know you love.
  • Instant delivery
    I can post your proofing gallery before you even leave the studio.

Like most photographers, I started out trying to maximize control: You’ll see them when I’m ready! That only slowed me down, excluded your insight, AND meant I’d have to call you back to fix a problem. Instead, I share the vulnerability by combining what we’re both best at: Me showing you killing it at being you.
