Top 12 Questions Clients Ask Us About Photo Shoots

Is Hair and Make-Up Included?

Yes, it is! Having your hair and makeup professional done for your photoshoot is not only part of the experience, but also helps to define your look and really makes your facial features pop in photos!

How Many Outfits Should I Bring?

We will photograph in up to three different looks, but you can bring as many as you like! I’m happy to go through your options and help pick/style each one. Just throw everything into a bag and I’ll do the rest of the work for you.

We also have a client closet of over 200 gowns and dresses size 00-38 as well as dozen of high heels size 5-11 AND hundreds of pieces of jewelry available for you. So even if you have no idea what to wear, we have you taken care of from start to finish! Peep a sample of our available wardrobe in our ever expanding Client Closet Gallery.

What do I need to do to prep for the session?

Once you book your session, I will send all my clients a prep guide filled with all the tips and tricks to get ready for your photo session with me. This includes detailed timelines, our full investment menu, shopping resources, inspiration, and everything you need to know before you walk in the door.

What if I’m not photogenic at all!?

That’s only because you haven’t been photographed by me! I promise I will guide you with posing from your head to your toes. I will also help you with facial expressions and bring out the best in you.

When does my photoshoot have to take place?

This offer is good for any available date from June 2026 to August 2026. If you would like a photoshoot beyond that date range, please let me know and we can discuss a separate offer that may fit your needs better: leah@lgemerick.com


Do I have to share my images?

You do not have to, but most clients give permission to share their photos because they feel so beautiful in them!

How do I go about pre-purchasing prints, products, or a collection?

We will discuss this over the phone consult and also in email! You will choose what you wish to purchase and we will set you up on a payment plan. Payments will be paid either weekly, biweekly, or monthly.

What is the minimum investment for purchase my photos?

The minimum investment in my studio is $450. My average client spends $1,900 in studio.

Do you ever share my name?

No. We never attach your name to your photos so if someone was to google your name these images would not pop up (unless you posted them!). We will assign a title of “Brave Beauty X” in our posts unless you instruct us otherwise.

What if I do not want to purchase any prints or products?

I have never had anyone not want to purchase something. Trust me, you are going to LOVE these photos!
