FAQS:
What can you say about your work and why should we choose Hello Happy Day over the rest?
Hello Happy Day is not for everybody. It is for people who are not afraid to try something different.
The work I produce is not something that you can compare to others or to my last client (unless you want the same thing)
All I ask is that you trust me, to feel comfortable during your session and to not be afraid to share your ideas.
Most photographers stick to one look, one type of location, one color scheme or one hue/tone.
I, on the other hand, prefer not to do the same look because I don't want to lose the element of surprise and I don't want to feel boxed in one concept. Your shoot can be as simple and casual as you'd like, fancy, modern or any way you want that best fits your personality.
Each person is different, therefore, their portraits should also be different from other people's portraits.
How much do you charge for photo shoots?
Each client have different needs.
Some want a simple, quick session, some may want an elaborate shoot.
To receive a proper quote that best fit your needs, please let me know what you want and a proper quote will be given to you.
How much do you charge for events or weddings?
Like each client having different needs for portraits, so are events and weddings.
Some events are simple and intimate, some are fancier. Some are nearby, some require me to fly.
To receive a proper quote that best fit your event, please let me know what you want and a proper quote will be given to you.
Quotes cannot be altered by client (meaning "can I take this or that off , do this or that to save?") but I can certainly do a payment plan if requested. We'll work something out.
Where are you located and where are the photo shoots done?
I'm located in Eagle Rock in Los Angeles, California
Locations are chosen by myself or both the client and I, depending on the theme/concept.
What kind of concept should we do?
It depends on what you want. If you have an idea in mind, I would love to hear it and I would work around it. If you prefer that I come up with one then I will. I will let you know what I come up with around 2 weeks before the session. Elaborate shoots require at least one month preparation. We can chat or talk on the phone or even email to talk about the concept and what you should wear and so on.
I try my best to do a theme that fits your personality.
Would you travel?
Yes, anywhere around the world.
What do I wear?
This depends on the concept.
Styling/outfit suggestions by me is included. I will be sending you links of clothes online that you can purchase or as an inspiration.
Clothes are really important to me as it affects the whole look and outcome of the photo shoot.
I don't know how to pose, what do I do?
I suggest practicing in front of the mirror, try to get comfortable, practice your smile and find your best angle. Photo shoots are an investment and I suggest coming in prepared for it to get the best results. Don't worry I will assist you with posing during the shoot.
I don't know how to put on make up, what do I do?
I have an amazing professional hair and make up artist. If requested (or required for the concept), her services will be added to the fees.
My child may not pose for the camera, what do we do with that?
Toys and props are used to keep the kids still during the session. Usually the toys are incorporated in the theme. If in any case, that we absolutely cannot get the child/children to pose for photos, we can reschedule at no charge.
My body is not perfect,what should we do to get great photos?
All the photos are edited in Hello Happy Day style. If in case, you want additional enhancements/extensive editing such as removal of stretch marks, double chin,slimmer body, flawless skin, please don't hesitate to let me know. It can all be done for a minimal fee or added to your package rate.
How long does a session usually take?
This depends on how simple or elaborate your session is. I suggest not making other plans on the day of your session so that you are relaxed and we are not rushing through the shoot.
Do you give out high resolution images?
I only give high resolution images of events,parties, business and weddings. I do not give out high resolution images of portraits, engagements and other photo shoots. I have an amazing professional photo lab that can print your photos. I've noticed that when my clients printed out the high resolution images, it affected the quality of my work. Printing through Hello Happy Day ensures that you are getting the best print quality for the photos we both worked hard to achieve.
