Question 1

What is the best time of day for a photography session?

Accepted Answer

For outdoor sessions, lighting is usually best in the early morning hours right after sunrise or 1-2 hours before sunset if you want a warm glowing “golden light” look. The soft, warm light during these times enhances the overall quality of the photos. However, it's best to discuss the specific time with us to determine what works best for your family and location.

Question 2

What should we wear?

Accepted Answer

Wardrobe should be comfortable and reflect who you are. Colors are better coordinating and complementing with each other than matching; play with textures and materials and add layers and accessories. I love to help with styling, and encourage you to send me pictures of your outfits so I can help to look at colors. 
 We advise to avoid black, avoid heavy patterns in fabrics, and avoid clothes with prominent logos. We also think that natural fabrics (like cotton and wool) work much better than synthetic (shiny) fabrics.

Question 3

How long will it take to receive the final photos?

Accepted Answer

The time it takes to receive the final photos can vary from a couple of days up to a week depending on the workload.

Question 4

Where should we take our photos?

Usually, we shoot in outdoor locations. Ideally, we like to use natural light, because we believe it helps to create the most beautiful photos. Our photo shoot packages are for locations in central Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, however we can also go further upon request. Depending on the location, it will incur an extra fee for time and transportation.
If you don’t have any particular idea for location, we can suggest some places based on what you had in mind, such as Nature, Heritage, Urban, etc. Please tell us your expectation so that we can discuss it and find the best place for what you have in mind.
We can even photograph in your home or document your family having a good time.

We don't alter the way you look other than skin blemishes or anything temporary that would not normally be there (bruise, scrape, acne etc unless you'd like us to keep it in the photos). If you are self conscious about something, please let us know as we will be sure to be extra aware of that while we are posing you.

Question 9

Can my photos be used for commercial use without my permission?

Accepted Answer

No, your photos will never be used for stock photography or any commercial purposes without your explicit permission. Rest assured that we will not license or sell your photographs to any third-party stock agencies or use them in any way that compromises your privacy.
Our primary objective is to create beautiful memories for you, and your photographs will only be used in portfolios, galleries, or promotional materials related to 35MM productions. If we wish to use any of your images beyond these purposes, we will contact you personally to seek your consent.

Question 10

I've lost the photos from the session. Can you send them to me again?

Accepted Answer

Since we have a large amount of shoots, we won’t be able to back up all photos so please be sure to download them within a week and save your images securely. If it’s within 6 months of your shoot, we may still have a few of the highlights, however, unfortunately, it won’t be all of them. We cannot take responsibility for the storage of your photographs, so please make sure they are downloaded and backed up.

Question 11

What if I am late for the session?

Accepted Answer

It is best to arrive on time to get the best light of the day, if you arrive late, your session might get compromised. Co-operation and punctuality are essential to accomplish the goals and wishes of all parties. Shooting commences at the scheduled start time and ends at the scheduled end time. 
We recommend aiming to arrive at the meeting point 5-10 minutes before your session to make yourself comfortable and then to start the shoot on time. 
So Please be on time! Thank you for your understanding.

Which Camera kit do you use for the sessions?

Accepted Answer
