Bookings & Prices

Can I make a last-minute appointment?

Yes, if Fiona still has availability. A session can sometimes be arranged one or two days in advance, but popular dates, sunset sessions, proposals and multi-location plans are easier to secure earlier.

How do booking and payment work?

After the session is confirmed, 30% of the total price is usually paid as a booking fee to reserve the date and begin preparation. The final payment timing, cancellation terms, rescheduling terms and booking-fee conditions are written clearly in the official confirmation.

What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule?

Cancellation and rescheduling terms are confirmed in writing with each booking. If weather, travel disruption or a schedule change affects the session, contact Fiona as early as possible so another time, route or date can be discussed before any final decision

Can we have a session outside Nice?

Yes. Fiona is based in Nice and usually works in Nice and nearby French Riviera locations. Provence, Saint-Tropez and other French cities can be confirmed separately depending on the date, travel and schedule.

How are travel fees confirmed?

For Provence, Saint-Tropez or other French cities, transport, accommodation if needed and extra travel time are checked before the quote is confirmed, so there should not be a surprise travel charge added after booking

The session day

What if we feel awkward in front of the camera?

That is completely fine. Fiona will guide movement, position, interaction and rhythm according to how you feel. If you prefer candid images, the session can stay looser and more documentary.

Is it possible to add time?

If there is room in the schedule later that day, extra time can be discussed on site. Any overtime fee will be explained before confirmation, with no unexplained charge added afterward.

What should I do if it rains or the weather is bad?

Cloudy weather is not always a problem; soft light can be very flattering. If heavy rain, strong wind or unsafe conditions affect the session, we can discuss rescheduling, changing the time or adjusting the location.

Delivery and follow-up

When can I get the photos?

Most portrait, couple, travel, proposal and small ceremony sessions are delivered within 2-4 weeks. Wedding day coverage is usually delivered within 4-6 weeks. The exact timing depends on scope, image count and Fiona’s current schedule.

What does “edited images” include?

Edited images means the selected high-resolution JPG photos Fiona delivers after curation and post-production, including exposure, color, white balance, crop and overall mood adjustments, with light skin or small blemish retouching when needed. It does not mean RAW files or heavy beauty retouching on every frame; if you need more detailed portrait retouching, please mention it during the inquiry.

Are RAW files included?

RAW files are not included by default. You receive selected, color-graded and lightly retouched high-resolution JPG files. This keeps the final images consistent with Fiona’s style and avoids confusion from unfinished working files.

Do you provide albums, professional printing or more finished photos?

By default, delivery includes selected, color-graded and lightly retouched high-resolution digital images. Physical albums, professional prints and additional refined edits are separate add-ons. If you need printed products, Fiona will first confirm the supplier, size, paper, production timeline, shipping method and final quote.

How are the final photos delivered?

The final images are delivered digitally as selected high-resolution JPG files. The exact delivery method, download link and access period will be confirmed in the booking or delivery message so you know how to save the files safely

Will my photos be shared on Instagram or the website?

If privacy is important for your session, mention it in the inquiry. Portfolio, website or social media use can be confirmed separately before identifiable client images are shared publicly

Locations, planning and styling

Can you advise on image-friendly timing for our wedding day?

Fiona can suggest locations, light, routes and timing from a photography perspective, and point out which moments are worth reserving photo time for. Full wedding planning, vendor management and contract execution would need separate confirmation. Her support focuses on making the day easier to photograph and document.

Can you suggest venues, makeup or styling resources from a photography perspective?

Fiona can share leads related to location, light, route, timing and visual atmosphere, and can point out choices that may affect the images. Full wedding planning, vendor management, price negotiation and contract execution need separate confirmation. Specific resources depend on the current project, schedule and location.

Do you also provide video?

This website is currently focused on photography inquiries. If you need video as part of a wedding, proposal or event, mention it in your message and Fiona will confirm separately whether video support or a trusted collaborator can be arranged

What do clients need to prepare in advance?

You do not need to have everything prepared from the beginning. Start with the approximate date, city or location, session type and the feeling you want the photos to carry. Other details can be sorted out after the first consultation.
