Booking & Sessions
How do I book a session?
Simply head to my contact page and fill out the form. I'll get back to you within 24 hours to discuss your vision and schedule a date that works for you.
How far in advance should I book?
I recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. Weekend sessions tend to fill up faster, so the earlier the better.
What happens during a consultation?
We'll chat about your vision, the purpose of the photos, wardrobe ideas, location preferences, and any specific looks or moods you're going for. It's a relaxed conversation — no pressure!
How long does a typical session last?
Most portrait sessions run about 1–2 hours. Headshot sessions are usually quicker — around 30–60 minutes. I never rush — we go until we've got the perfect shots.
Pricing & Payments
How much do sessions cost?
All services are currently charged at a flat rate of $40 per hour for a limited time. This includes the session, professional editing, and delivery of your final images.
What's included in the price?
Every session includes pre-shoot consultation, the photography session itself, professional retouching and colour grading, and a private online gallery with your high-resolution images.
Do you require a deposit?
A small deposit may be required to secure your booking, which is applied toward the total session fee. Full details are provided when we confirm your session date.
What to Expect
What should I wear to my session?
Solid colours and neutral tones photograph beautifully. Avoid busy patterns and large logos. I recommend bringing 2–3 outfit options so we have variety. I'm happy to help with wardrobe planning during our consultation!
I'm not photogenic — will the photos still turn out well?
Absolutely! Most of my clients say the same thing before their session. I guide you through every pose and expression — you just need to show up and be yourself. That's where the magic happens.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions can take place outdoors at beautiful Edmonton locations, at your preferred venue, or in-studio for headshots (coming soon). I'll help you choose the perfect setting for your vision.
Can I bring props or pets?
Of course! Props, pets, musical instruments, meaningful items — anything that makes the shoot feel like you is welcome.
After the Session
When will I receive my photos?
Your fully edited, gallery-ready images will be delivered within 2 weeks via a private online gallery. Rush delivery is available upon request.
How many photos will I receive?
The number varies by session length and type, but you can typically expect 20–40+ carefully curated and edited images per hour of shooting.
Do you offer prints or albums?
Not at this time, but your high-resolution digital files are print-ready and can be printed anywhere you'd like at any size.
Can I share the photos on social media?
Yes, please do! I just ask that you credit @hazarastudios when posting. It helps other people find me and I love seeing my work shared.
Rescheduling & Policies
What if I need to reschedule?
Life happens! I ask for at least 48 hours notice for rescheduling. I'll work with you to find a new date that fits your schedule.
What happens if the weather is bad for an outdoor shoot?
I monitor the forecast closely and will reach out to discuss backup plans. We can reschedule at no extra cost or move to a covered location. Overcast skies actually create beautiful, soft lighting!
