FAQ
What Sheila wants you to know before your shoot:
What should you wear?
I honestly think you should wear whatever makes you feel comfortable! If you have more than one person I would consider picking one color and matching outfits to that color. Neutrals go with anything and anyone! Otherwise have a statement piece and work your outfit around that piece.
*Be aware of bracelets, watches, hair ties, phones in pockets, I will NOT edit these out in post unless compensated*
How much is the deposit? When is it due?
Deposits are based upon type of photography required. I am lenient on deposits, as long as full payments are made before sending
edited galleries.
Can prints or albums be ordered directly from Sheila?
Photos are meant to be printed! I can do this for you or I will give out printing rights.
Are packages customizable?
Absolutely! I prefer to work with everyone individually based on what we're documenting. Payment plans are also an option.
Does Sheila shoot digitally? With film? Or both?
I currently use a mixture of both digital and film photography for each session. You can custom design your session with only digital, only film or keep it as a mixture! This may alter pricing.
Why film?
I have been shooting film since I was about 8 years old. It has truly been a passion of mine, pretty much my whole life. Photographers have been using film for centuries and I love all of it's tones. The film grain, the colors, the sharp details, and the anticipation of getting your film developed! I always go back to the basics of photography when I shoot film. With a limited amount of photos per roll, I'm more picky about what photos will best describe the emotions from that day.
*Film is experimental and is not guaranteed*
Film does not always work out! Cameras can break, light leaks can occur, rolls may not be advancing in the camera, and there can be problems in the developing stage. It is very experimental which is one downside to film. I am always anxious any time I shoot because of the risk. I have seen my fair share of completely black negatives, it is heartbreaking. Which is a big reason why I still shoot digitally!
Will my digital and film photos look different?
Barely! I have experience in professional photo editing, and edit my digital photos based on the film photos. Once your film has been developed and scanned, I will edit the film photos to a "neutral" state. I then edit the digital and film images side-by-side to match the overall tones to look cohesive.
How will I receive my images?
I am currently using WeTransfer. You will receive a link through email, that lets you download your gallery. This must be done on a desktop, laptop or tablet first. It cannot be downloaded on your phone.
