Overview

How does the entire process work?

It's pretty simple! When you're ready to book your shoot, you can book by calling us at 0417 922 589 or by sending us an email at info@hallistx.com.au Then we'll call you to go over what to bring and answer any questions you might have. The day of your shoot, you'll arrive at the studio and we'll give you a tour of the studio and some of our portfolio books to look through to get ideas. We'll sit down with you and go over what type of pictures and looks that you'd like to get done. Then if you ordered hair/make-up, you'll sit with her for your make-over. Then it's off to the shoot!

We'll help you with outfit selection, props, etc. Then once we're all done with the shoot, we'll show you some of the pictures we took. We will send you a CD in the mail so that at your leisure, you'll look through the CD and choose the ones you want prints of and what sizes. Once you've chosen your favourites, you can go back on the website and click on "Order Prints". You'll need the file numbers of your favourite images and what size prints you'd like. From there, we'll get working on your prints. When they're all done, you can pick them up or we can mail them to you. It's as simple as that!!

Can you do on location shoots?

Absolutely. We can do shoots virtually anywhere. Depending on the location, a mileage fee may apply. For more info, see the rates page.

Do I need any modelling experience?

Not at all! We will guide you through every step of the way to insure the most flattering images.

Are my pictures private or will anyone else see them?

Your privacy is extremely important to us. When you hire us for your pictures, you are the only one that has access to your pictures. They will never be distributed to anyone else. As such, if you'd like we are happy to provide a confidentiality agreement at no additional charge.

Can I bring a friend, Mum, Husband, etc to the shoot with me?

Sure you can! You can bring anyone you'd like.

Do I get the rights to pictures afterwards, like to use in a magazine or something?

You have unlimited rights to your final images and can use the pictures for anything that you'd like.

Can you take pictures of me and my friend/boyfriend/husband?

Sure! Just let us know what type of photos you want to get done when you make the reservation.

Can you do nude/erotic/couples photography?

Yes, we do couples, both nude and non-nude as well as erotic and sensual photography. Due to the privacy of our clients however, we do not place any samples on our website.

What about commercial print photography?

We sure do. Just let us know what type of shots you're looking for when scheduling your session.

Do you have make-up/hair artists on staff?

Yes, we do have two make-up artists on staff, Rochelle, and Tegan. Please see the rates page for each of their rates. Please let us know at the time of booking (either on the online booking form or over the phone) if you would like a make-up artist for your shoot. Appointments Do you accept last minute bookings? Yes we do, and in some cases, even same day bookings are fine.

How do I schedule a photo shoot?

You can make an appointment by sending us an email at info@hallistx.com.au or via phone at 0417 922 859

How does the payment process work?

A deposit equal to 50% of the total will be required at the time of booking to hold the appointment. This will be applied towards the total amount due. The remaining balance will be due at the completion of the photo shoot.

What time can I schedule a photo shoot?

Anytime really, we take appointments that work around our customer's schedules, even if that means staying past closing time.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept Cash, Visa, MasterCard, PayPal and Postal Orders. We also accept corporate checques, but no personal cheques sorry.

I just want a few pictures, can I have a lower priced package?

Our least expensive package is the basic package for $169. We do offer custom packages, but keep in mind that for 1 good picture, it may take 50 shots to get it. For instance, on a magazine cover, it may take over 1,000 shots just to get that one final picture.

What is the cancellation policy?

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required at time of booking which is applied towards your total. The deposit will be forfeited if you cancel your appointment. But rescheduling can be made at any time with no penalty up to a year in a advance.

Day of Your Shoot

Do I need to bring anything to the photo shoot?

This is a great question. You want to try to look your best so bring all necessary beauty supplies, including lotions, make-up, hairspray, etc. Be sure to bring a large selection of your favourite outfits and any props that you might want to include in your photos. Also, it's a great idea to bring your favourite music CD so that we can play it during your shoot to help you relax. Last but not least, bring a great attitude, an open mind and lots of confidence!

Is there anything I can do to prepare for my shoot?

While we know what poses look good in general, some poses just don't look right on some people. So take some time to look at magazines for posing ideas and practice posing and your expressions in front of a mirror as much as possible. Pose the same way the models are posed in these magazines and try to improve the pose. Know what poses and expressions that YOU look good in.

When will I get to look at the pictures?

The same day! We can break half way in between to show you the pictures, and once the shoot is done you can see them on our widescreen monitors. Can you remove my acne or tattoos? Yes, our digital retouching artists can digitally remove any scars, tattoos, acne, stretch marks, skin blemishes etc. We can even make you tanner! Please see this page for more info.

Do the packages include airbrushed images?

Some do include BASIC touch ups like blemish removal, colour correction etc. This is only for the prints that are included in the package. Larger jobs like tattoo removal, background changes, etc are extra.
