Do you have any recommendations of what to wear?
Yes! You can refer to our lifestyle guide, which is linked here.
How do you help with posing, especially for those who feel awkward in front of the camera?
Feeling a bit camera-shy is completely natural! We guide you through the entire session with gentle direction and prompts that bring out authentic moments. Rather than stiff poses, we'll focus on natural interactions and genuine emotions. We'll help you find comfortable positions that flatter you while still feeling like yourself. Our approach is relaxed and supportive. Your comfort is our priority!
How far in advance should I book my session?
We recommend booking your lifestyle session at least 4-6 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date. During peak wedding season (May-October), we only accept lifestyle sessions on weekdays to ensure we can deliver the attention each session deserves.
For maternity sessions, booking during your second trimester for a photoshoot in your third trimester (between 28-34 weeks) is ideal.
Family sessions book quickly during fall and holiday seasons, so consider booking 2-3 months ahead for these popular times.
For branding sessions, we suggest planning 4-6 weeks before you need the final images for your marketing needs.
Remember that our photo delivery timeline is typically 4 weeks after your session, so please factor this in when planning for specific deadlines or announcements.
What happens if there's bad weather?
In case of inclement weather such as heavy rain or thunderstorms) We prioritize both your comfort and the quality of your photos. We’ll be sure to monitor the forecast closely as your session date approaches and will contact you 24-48 hours beforehand if we need to reschedule.
Can I get the RAW photos?
RAW and unedited photos are not included with any package. An unedited photo is like unfinished art for a photographer. The editing is what makes the photo unique and perfected to match the Raya style!
When will I get my photos?
You will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within maximum 4 weeks. You can download all the photos from the gallery but also share them, choose your favourites, and order prints! The gallery link will be accessible for six months after delivery of photos. Please make sure to download them all by then!
What is included in editing?
Editing consists of colour, lighting, and some facial/body blemishes on a case-by-case basis. Special requests for retouching (e.g. body and face shape changes, changing the colour of a jacket, etc.) constitute special retouching and will be subject to an additional fee based on time spent.
