How does portrait photography work from booking to delivery of finished images..
Here are the pieces every portrait shoot consists of.
Contact Us
Everything starts with a call or email conversation, so feel free to choose the way that suits you best. Tell us about the purpose of the photo shoot.
The most important thing for us is to know what the image will be used for so that we can prepare and deliver the best result, as well as give you all the information you need.
The purpose of portrait photos can be different: new social media profile picture, family portrait with all members, Christmas card photo to send to loved ones or maybe even creative photography in several different styles.

Make an appointment
Information about our opening hours can be found on our website (link). Free times are usually found in the mornings, evenings and Saturdays are a little more difficult as we are often fully booked for wedding photography. If you want to book the time that suits you best, it is a good idea to book well in advance.
Tips and advice for portrait photography
In connection with the booking, you will receive various suggestions, tips and advice regarding how to choose clothes, colors and tones so that everything in the photo looks harmonious.We have also compiled some important information about
Photographing
Photography takes place either in our photo studio or on location in the unique environments. Depending on the goal of photography, we have prepared different backgrounds and gone through lighting settings that would suit you beforehand. We make sure you are comfortable and have fun with us so we can capture your personality and character. The photography is divided into a few parts so that you don't feel tense, and we have time to change the background and lighting. In the studio there is always tea, coffee, snacks and always lovely music that sets a nice mood.
Editing and retouching of images
At Chaiko & Markstedt, we edit your photos carefully and always ourselves. Everything from import to export of finished files is carried out by us. We have spent hundreds of hours with Adobe products and feel very comfortable with Photoshop, Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw and Bridge.
Image delivery
Images are delivered digitally via a super-smooth cloud service that you receive a link to via email. All images are edited and are in high resolution JPEG format. In the Gallery, you only mark images you want so that you can download them. In connection with selected image delivery, we send an invoice for the entire purchase, i.e. photography and selected images.
