FAQs
 
 
SESSIONS - LOCATIONS - BOOKING
 
Types of sessions I do
Types of sessions I offer include portrait sessions, couples, families, events, children milestones, engagements, weddings, and lifestyle work. If you can think of it, I most likely capture it. I take pride in photographing every special moment for my clients, becoming their lifelong photographer.
My location
I am located in California, USA, serving Pasadena, Azusa, Monrovia, Glendora, Arcadia, Covina, Glendale, Brea, Diamond Bar, Fullerton, Anaheim, Yorba Linda, Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, and all of Los Angeles and Orange County.
Additionally, I am available to travel to any interesting place such as Joshua Tree, Yosemite, or worldwide for an additional fee.
Outdoor or indoor (studio) session
I offer both outdoor and indoor sessions. Prices for indoor/studio sessions are higher because I typically need to use flash/lights, spend more time on edits, and rent a studio.
When is the best time to do a photoshoot
For outdoor sessions, I prefer the time before sunset when the light is optimal. Indoor sessions can be scheduled at any time of day or night since the lighting is controlled in the studio. I recommend scheduling maternity photo shoots when mama is between 30-34 weeks pregnant. However, we can do a maternity shoot at any point during your pregnancy.
Book a session with me
Email me at aneta@coufalova.com to inquire about my availability for capturing your event or photo session.
 
 
 
PHOTOS - EDITING - DELIVERY TIMES
 
Raw photos, all images
I typically do not provide raws (unedited photos) and/or all images. However, they are available for purchase, should that be something you are interested in.
Who chooses photos for editing, and can you make me slimmer and my skin smoother?
I select and edit the best photos according to the amounts stated above. If you prefer to choose the final photos yourself, let me know, and I will send you the best photos for your selection. And yes, I can make slight adjustments to your silhouette and retouch your face to address any noticeable imperfections.
How I deliver photos to you
Edited high-resolution digital files (for prints) as well as low-resolution files (for social media) are delivered to you via direct download in an online image gallery.
For weddings, the files are delivered via USPS on a USB flash drive. I do not offer printed photos.
Will our photos look like those here in your portfolio
The ultimate outcome of the photoshoot is intricately woven into a tapestry of diverse elements. From the encompassing atmosphere that sets the stage, whether it's the ethereal glow of a sunny day, the muted tones of a cloudy sky, or the captivating allure of a dimly lit studio, hotel room, or a luminous and expansive apartment studio adorned with brick walls. The backdrop, the wardrobe choices, and myriad details all play a role in shaping the visual narrative.
Additionally, it is imperative to recognize the pivotal influence of the makeup artist and hair stylist, whose expertise and techniques wield considerable sway over the final aesthetic. While I ardently strive to align each frame with the signature style found in my portfolio, the dynamic interplay of these external factors introduces subtle nuances, contributing to the uniqueness of every capture.
Imagine, if you will, choosing a dress from your home collection, orchestrating a midday shoot when the sunlight is at its sharpest in a local park with one tree and strong green-colored grass, overlooking the intricacies of the location, and neglecting the involvement of a skilled makeup artist and hairdresser. In such scenarios, the results can diverge significantly, underlining the importance of meticulous planning and collaboration to ensure the harmonious synthesis of all contributing elements.
Use of images
I retain the copyright to the images and reserve the right to use them for portfolio, promotional purposes, competitions, associated materials, and more.
 
 
 
PRICING - PAYMENTS - MINISESSIONS - PRO BONO
 
Packages
Packages can be customized to suit individual tastes and needs.
Discounts
I am offering a discount for more than one photosession.
For example, a maternity + newborn package, maternity + childbirth + newborn, or an engagement + wedding package, etc.
Minisessions
I am pleased to offer mini-sessions, typically lasting 15 minutes. Each session includes 5-10 edited photos, allowing for one outfit and one location.
Payments
I do request a 50% deposit before the session, and the balance is due after the session, prior to the delivery of edited photos.
I accept payment in cash, through PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, checks, and even gifts :)
 
 
 
WARDROBE
Own clothing selection

Share your ideas and clothing options with me, and I'll assist you in selecting the best outfits at no additional cost. Consider complementing your colors, like purple + yellow, orange + green, red + green, brown + purple, white + blue, creams + whites + beiges, creams + blue, etc.
For vibrant, warmly toned photos, it's advisable to avoid black clothing. However, if you prefer black, consider having everyone wear black colors, though this is more suitable for urban settings.

Wardrobe rental
I offer complimentary dress rentals, both short and long, along with some accessories for women. You can check the current available stock here. If none of the available options suit your preference, please let me know your preferred style, size, and color. I will then provide you with a selection to choose from, and order it for you with a 14-day notice.
This service is free of charge, but please be aware that it is dependent on the location and subject to conditions (e.g., dress damage).

Second photographer or videographer
I can coordinate the inclusion of a second photographer and/or videographer for an additional fee.
Do I require meals at the wedding reception
I kindly request that you provide a meal for me at the reception. This ensures I can eat and recharge without the need to leave and miss any of the action.

I have been in the business since 2006, capturing memories through over one hundred weddings and four hundred portrait sessions.
I selectively curate my portfolio to ensure it reflects the most recent and compelling stories.
