On a scale of 1-5 how comfortable are you in front of a camera?
The worst. I've never even heard of a camera until today.

Pretty neutrally not uncomfortable but not super confident!
3
I'm a trained model
Introverted or extroverted?
Introverted
Extroverted
Social extrovert, but introvert at the core
Ambiverted
Have you taken professional photos before in a session like this?
Yes
No
Sort of/Kinda!
In terms of posing, how much direction and help from me would you like?
No help at all! I got this :) Just be a fly on the wall and watch me do my thang
2
A little bit of guidance and direction, a little bit of let me do my thang
3
Please. All the help. I never know what to do with my hands.
Is it ok to physically touch you to show direction?
Please use words and motions and other ways to direct me
Comfortable with touch if I'm just not understanding!
Fully comfortable touch away
Do you have any fun or special traditions that we can incorporate into the session?
For example, if this is a grad session and you "lived" in the library, let's see if we can get some photos in the library!
My shooting style includes all the following types of photos. But if you had a preference, which of the following would you want to see more of?
Candids that might not necessarily "perfect" but feel like us
Posed, editorial. Could be in a magazine
Prompted, less still poses but welcome fun prompts that can produce genuine laughs and reactions
Movement! Energy!
Is there any specific photo on my instagram or website that caught your attention? Why'd you hire me, is there a theme you enjoy in my work? (IG: @sabataniphoto)
This helps me understand what exactly it is you hired me for so I can give you as much of that as possible! It also makes me feel nice :)
Preferences for editing styles?
I realize my work can lean moody or bright and most of my galleries are a mix of both, but if you have a preference for one or the other, let me know!
I like moodier, more cinematic photos
I like brighter, lighter photos
I like the moody AND bright and exactly how you edit and trust you to choose what's appropriate when!
Is there anything you'd like me to know about personal preferences in photos of yourselves?
For example, I favor photos where I'm looking at the camera at an angle slightly to the right and really dislike photos of my left profile. I had a client once that didn't love photos where one of her eyes appear bigger than the other when she smiles.
And another that loooved close-ups of himself and his fiance.
I can't guarantee every single photo will cater to your preferences but at least if I know about them I can pose you in ways I know you'll love!
How do we feel about "Artsy" photos? Intentional blurs, non traditional posing etc.
Love em! The more the merrier.
A good mix please
Please just standard, crisp, shots that can last the test of time
Would you prefer an efficient session or a relaxed session?
1 Relaxed. I want to flow from location to location, feel unhurried but still get great photos!
2
3 Relaxed yet efficient
4
5 I want to move fast, fit as many locations and as many poses as possible into our time
In terms of your final gallery, would you rather have more photos, even if some are duplicates of a pose/angle, or would you rather have a tightly "curated" gallery?
More photos. I want to see almost EVERYTHING you capture and be able to look through the tiny shifts in our facial expressions and choose the ones that we prefer.ose the ones that we prefer.
Quality over quantity. We don't want to be overwhelmed with options, we want the best of the best and don't want to have to sift through a bunch of what is essentially the same photo.
Speaking of your gallery, what would your ideal final gallery look like? How would it make you feel?
Is there anything else you need me to know?
