The Lui Captures Photography Experience

Whether it’s beneath the open sky, in a professional studio setup, or the comfort of your own home, every session embarks on the same delightful journey—from booking to shooting, editing to sharing. Join me in the 1000 Islands for a glimpse behind the scenes of a Kingston photography experience and discover a touch of my unique personality along the way…

How It Works

Step 1: Booking Your Kingston Photography Shoot

Thank you for browsing my portfolio and choosing to step in front of my lens for your portrait photographs. We’ll begin with a chat where you can tell me about the shoot style you’re dreaming of, pinpoint the perfect location (whether it’s in the studio, at your cosy home, or an exciting outdoor spot here in Kingston or surrounding area), and nail down the duration of your session.

Once we’ve got all the details squared away, we’ll dive into the nitty-gritty of booking—contracts, terms, conditions, and, of course, the session deposit fee.

*Pro Tip*

Not sure what to wear? Remember, neutral colours are always flattering. Earthy tones, muted gem tones, monochrome, beige, and taupe are great examples. Wear something that makes you feel beautiful! Whether it is a statement necklace or that long flowing dress.

If you need a hand with outfit choices, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m more than happy to assist.

Step 2: Embrace Your Authenticity

It’s the much-anticipated Shoot Day!

If you’re feeling a little nervous about posing or uncertain about what to do, where to gaze or place your arms, don’t worry. I’ll be your guide, offering prompts and poses to capture your best angles and make your customized Kingston photography experience a memorable one. My guiding principle? Be yourselves, enjoy the experience, and let your genuine selves shine through. Authenticity lends meaning to your photos, reflecting your true essence.

*Pro Tip*

If you have little ones joining the shoot, consider bringing a change of clothes to avoid any unexpected mishaps.

Step 3: Crafting Your Photos

Your Kingston photography photoshoot is a wrap, and I’m certain you’re eager to catch a glimpse of those memorable moments. Here’s a glimpse into the magic of the editing process:

Each of your photos receives meticulous attention, with clarity adjustments, lighting enhancements, and my signature editing touches. If needed, I’ll work my Photoshop wizardry to address minor blemishes (say goodbye to that pesky pimple) and remove any distracting elements like road signs or unexpected photobombers. But that’s not all; I’m a firm believer in the power of both colour and black and white photography. So, I curate a gallery that seamlessly blends the two. There’s something timeless and enchanting about seeing those precious moments captured in different ‘lights.’

Step 4: Cherish Your Memories

Your precious photos are ready!

You will receive an email from me, informing you that your gallery is complete and ready for your viewing pleasure in my online gallery. Once you’ve received the email with your gallery password, follow the simple steps outlined in the message. Download your cherished memories onto the device of your choice, and you’re all set! Those precious photos are now yours to hold onto, print onto personalised cards and share as you please.
