A: You will be receiving two sets of your final images via email; one for internet use at 72 dpi with logo and one high resolution for printing. We are not responsible for keeping copies of shoots after images have been emailed to you.
When you download your files, please make sure to back them up to multiple hard drives as well as keep a third copy somewhere else (on a dvd, cd, memory stick etc).

We recommend ABC in Vancouver or Photo Expert in Delta.
Q: How many pictures do you take?
A: Anywhere from 50-1000 frames! It depends on the session and the client.

Q: How long does it take to get the pictures back?
A: Turn around is currently about 2-4 weeks. We can accommodate for special deadline requests and offer a rush charge of 20$ ea. if photos are needed quicker.
Q: What should I do to prepare for our shoot?
A: Shave your legs, underarms, bikini line, moisturize your skin and paint your nails (red is preferred)! Get lots of sleep, water, and eat for energy, but avoid foods that will make you feel bloated. Check your hosiery for runs and rips. On the day of your shoot avoid wearing tight clothing that will leave lines on your skin. If you are having hair removal, have it done a few days before your appointment to avoid swelling and redness. Have a good stretch and avoid overly strenuous workouts the day of as some poses can be physically demanding!
Hair: Please do not use a flat iron prior to your appointment as it makes curling difficult. Please come with clean, dry hair.
Makeup: Please come with a clean face, or foundation and mascara at most. If you have sensitive skin or a preferred brand of foundation please bring it with you.
Q: Can my partner come and watch?
A: Unfortunately they may not stay because it puts a different element in to the shoot that can hinder bringing out the bombshell in you! They are more than welcome to drop you off, check out our studio and meet us to put them at ease.
Q: What should I bring to wear?
A: Dresses, garter belts, bras, underwear, corsets, bustiers, waist cinchers, stockings, bathing suits, costumes, cardigans, pencil skirts, high heeled shoes...anything vintage (1920 - 1970's) or vintage inspired, jewellery, accessories etc.
Q: I don’t have much to wear...do you have something I can wear?
A: Yes! We have a large collection of wardrobe for clients to wear from XS-3X! We recommend that every client come with at least their own basics: lingerie, undergarments, stockings and shoes in case our collection does not meet your size, style or colour preference. If you would like a very specific outfit, or just an excuse to go shopping, check out our local favorite shops - New World Designs, Pinball Alley Vintage, Lace Embrace Atelier, and Burcu's Angels. Mirror Mirror Bijoux supplies us with beautiful jewellery to use during your shoot!
Q: Is there anything else that I should bring to my shoot other than clothes, shoes, accessories etc?
