7. How far in advance should I schedule my session?
We recommend scheduling your photography session at least 3 to 6 weeks in advance. While this can be dependent on the time of year, this window ensures you secure your desired date and allows ample time for our detailed pre-session consultations, including wardrobe planning and concept development. You can expect at least a 3-week minimum from your initial inquiry to your photo session, guaranteeing a perfectly tailored and stress-free experience. If you have a specific date in mind or need your images by a certain deadline, booking early is always best.
8. Can you help me with posing during my photoshoot? I'm not very photogenic.
Absolutely! At Imiivo Photo Studios, we pride ourselves on providing expert-guided posing and direction throughout your session. Our goal is to make you feel comfortable, confident, and empowered in front of the camera, regardless of your prior experience. We help you relax and capture your best self.
9. Do you help with styling? What should I wear for my personal branding or portrait session?
We offer a comprehensive wardrobe consultation and style planning as part of your session. We consider colors and pieces that will make you look best. We also have a full Wardrobe Guide that you’ll receive when you book your session. For Personal Branding sessions, we discuss your brand in detail, desired image, and personal style to help you select outfits that best represent you and photograph beautifully.

11. What exactly is a luxury portrait experience?
At Imiivo Photo Studios, a luxury portrait experience is a meticulously crafted, full-service journey designed to celebrate you and create timeless, heirloom-quality art. It goes far beyond a typical photoshoot; it's a transformative, confidence-boosting experience that begins with personalized consultations to understand your vision, includes professional styling and makeup, and features expert, guided posing in our boutique studio.
Every detail is handled for you, from concept to the final, expertly retouched and hand-edited images. We guide you in selecting and designing custom wall art and albums that become a cherished legacy. It's an investment in a seamless, empowering process and stunning, tangible artwork that authentically captures your unique story and leaves a lasting impression.
12. I have a business and am not sure what I need. What does personal branding photography include?
Personal branding photography focuses on creating compelling visual content that tells your unique professional story and elevates your brand identity. An Imiivo personal branding photography experience typically includes a strategic consultation to define your brand message and target audience, wardrobe and styling guidance to ensure your outfits align with your brand, and a dynamic photoshoot capturing a diverse range of images to showcase your personality, expertise, and what makes you unique.
The final deliverables are expertly retouched, high-resolution images that you can use across all your platforms, from your website and social media to marketing materials and press kits, creating a cohesive and impactful visual presence that attracts your ideal clients.
13. Why do I need updated professional headshots every year or two?
Regularly updating your professional headshot, ideally every 12-24 months, is crucial for maintaining a relevant, authentic, and professional online presence. Your headshot is often the first impression you make, reflecting your current look, confidence, and personal brand. Over time, hairstyles, appearances, and even your professional role can evolve. An outdated headshot can convey a lack of attention to detail or suggest that you're not current in your field. Fresh, modern headshots ensure you always present your most polished and current self.
14. Should I wait till I loose weight to book my session?
Absolutely not! We believe the perfect time to celebrate yourself is right now. At Imiivo Photo Studios, our focus is on creating a transformative, confidence-boosting experience that highlights your unique beauty and authentic self, exactly as you are today.
We're experts in posing, lighting, and wardrobe guidance to flatter every body type, ensuring you feel comfortable, empowered, and truly seen. Many clients express this concern, but consistently find immense joy and self-acceptance in seeing stunning images of themselves now. Don't miss the opportunity to capture this moment in your journey; your future self will thank you for celebrating who you are today.
15. Do you photograph men?
Yes, indeed! We proudly photograph men for a wide range of professional and personal needs, including modern headshots, impactful personal branding photography, and sophisticated portraits. Every person is worthy of their own statement portrait.
