How much time should you plan for photography?

Planning enough time for photography can be a challenge because no two sessions have ever been the same. Most people are drawn to my relaxed and more creative photos, so the more time you allow, the better! If you want a portrait or creative photoshoot at an outside location, it will take more time to setup gear and manage light than it does in a studio session. In studio, I will have more direct control over the conditions so less time is needed. But regardless of who you are or what type of shoot we are doing, everyone needs time to get comfortable in front of a camera (even the most experienced models). More time means more time to be creative!
