ABOUT NOOTKA PHOTOGRAPHY
Hello! My name is Rory Niditchie, and I am a photographer based in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I am passionate about photography and capturing people's real life magic - taking photos that make people feel their best. My style has a dreamlike quality and my camera setup is ideal for portraits leading to softer skin and a more romantic aesthetic. I understand that for many, taking photos can be an uncomfortable experience, so I focus on helping you feel comfortable and I am sensitive to those who may have special requests; my only goal is for you to LOVE the photos. We will work together to set up the ideal conditions and make sure you feel completely prepared. I want to capture genuine emotion and timeless moments that you can cherish forever. During shoots I will help by giving tons of feedback so that you feel confident in front of the camera. I have no problem adjusting edits till you are satisfied, i'm not happy till you are! Time goes by quickly and a photoshoot is a great way to remember seasons of your life, saving memories to look back at for generations.
WHAT TO EXPECT FOR YOUR SHOOT
Step 1.
We will have a call to discuss your vision and expectations. We will then set a date and time, and I will take your deposit to secure your booking. After the call, I will send you a PDF full of information to help you in planning and preparing for the shoot. I will also have you send me example photos that you love (poses, creative angles, lighting, anything you want to recreate). If you need help, I have Pinterest boards you can look through. This will help ensure we capture the essence you're looking for on the day of the shoot. I will also be available to answer questions about locations, props, and outfits.
Step 2.
The day of the shoot, we will meet at our location, have a quick chat to get comfortable and go over the reference photos together. I like to start the shoot with our posed shots, using your examples, taking a little time to try different angles and subtle changes for the most natural and flattering photos. After we get the posed shots out of the way, we can spend some time being more creative or just hanging out while I get more candid and documentary-style photos. At this point people tend to be much more relaxed and comfortable. If you like, I can also give suggestions and feedback to guide you through this portion of the shoot.
Step 3.
After the shoot, I will upload your album online within 3-4 business days so that you can choose the shots you would like edited! I will edit the photographs, keeping in mind your unique preferences and wishes. This can be anywhere from subtle adjustments for lighting to more detailed editing, such as skin smoothing or body contouring. I will complete your edits within 14 business days and create a folder for you to access online where you can download them. I am always open to feedback. If you notice any detail that you would like adjusted in the photos please don't hesitate to ask - these are your photos, you desrve to love them!
