before your photoshootimg
Everything you need to know beforehand – relaxed, simple and stress-free.
Here you will find answers to the most important questions and a brief overview of how a photoshoot with me works.
how a shooting works
1. We write shortly beforehand
We will clarify the location, time, wishes and special instructions (e.g. dog is shy, child is active, etc.).
2. Arrive & relax
We always start very calmly. With animals, they can sniff around; with children, we first see what feels good.
3. No pressure to pose
I give small, simple instructions, but no stiff poses.
Everything should feel natural.
4. We photograph in the flow
We walk around, talk, play (if there are children) or simply move around the location together.
5. After the shoot
You will receive a selection gallery from which you can choose your favorite pictures yourself.
6. Processing & Delivery
Depending on the package, you will receive the final images in 10–14 days.
Questions & answers
How do I book a photoshoot with you?
Either send me a message via Instagram or fill out the contact form. I'll get back to you as soon as possible! Instagram: @explorify.photography
Where will the photoshoot take place?
We can discuss that beforehand in a relaxed atmosphere. I know some beautiful spots in the Westerwald region – forests, fields, meadows, and quiet paths. If you'd like, I can also come to your area. We'll simply choose a place where you (and your pet) feel comfortable.
Can I change outfits?
Yes, absolutely! Changing outfits adds variety to the photos. It's best to bring 2-3 options – I'll help you on location to decide what works best.
May I bring someone with me?
Of course! Partners, children, friends, or family are welcome. Just let me know beforehand so I can plan accordingly.
What does a photoshoot with children look like?
Completely without pressure. Children are free to play, run, and move around – we go entirely at their pace. No stiff poses, no expectations. I simply document what happens.
What happens during a photoshoot with dogs?
Your dog doesn't need to sit or obey perfectly. We'll take our time: sniffing, settling in, relaxing. Then we'll photograph in a natural flow – stress-free and calm.
Will I also receive unedited images?
No. I generally do not release raw data. You will receive all selected images with loving, professional editing.
Am I allowed to post the pictures on social media?
Absolutely! I'd be thrilled if you tagged me: @explorify.photography
Do I need to know Posen myself?
No. I'll give you simple, natural instructions – nothing staged, nothing complicated. With me, you don't need to know anything or practice anything; we'll do everything in a relaxed way.
What happens if the weather turns bad?
Then we'll reschedule free of charge. No stress – we'll always find a new, suitable date.
What if I'm too late?
5-10 minutes is perfectly fine. If it's going to be significantly later, we'll spontaneously decide how to best use the time.
Is there a deposit or cancellation fee?
No, not at the moment. If you can't make it, just let me know in good time.
Can I also get pictures in black and white?
Yes! Just let me know which additional designs you would like in black and white.
How long does a photoshoot take?
Depending on the package, 20–90 minutes. I work without rushing – we take the time we need.
Can I buy additional pictures?
Yes! Each extra picture costs €10.
