My Standards & Expectations for Longer Bookings

Before I gradually step back from blogging as frequently, I wanted to write a more detailed post about my standards, expectations and what I look for when it comes to longer bookings.

Recently, I’ve been receiving quite a few enquiries for extended bookings from clients who haven’t taken the time to do any research about me beforehand. They see my photos, like what they see and immediately get in touch.

Of course, I’m incredibly flattered that my photos catch your attention. However, it can also be extremely frustrating when you enquire about a longer booking without having any idea who I am, what I enjoy or what I expect from the experience.

That’s exactly why I’ve decided to start adding small tags to my price list. They’re there to give you a better understanding of my expectations before you enquire, so there are no surprises later.

Longer Bookings

If you’re looking to book me for more than 24 hours — particularly 48 hours or longer — I expect the experience to be about more than simply spending time together.

I want to feel appreciated, looked after and genuinely spoiled.

That could mean incorporating something into our itinerary that is completely focused on my happiness. Perhaps taking me shopping, arranging some beautiful gifts from my wishlist, or booking some relaxing spa time for me.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be extravagant. What matters is the thought and the effort behind it.

For example, if there simply isn’t enough time in the itinerary for shopping, you could arrange something from my wishlist or organise spa time instead. I appreciate gestures that show me you’ve taken the time to think about what would make me happy.

Respect Goes Both Ways

If you want to have the best possible experience with me, the first step is communication.

Contact me respectfully, take the time to understand my requirements, complete screening where necessary and be prepared to place a deposit to secure your booking.

For multi-day bookings, I also expect the itinerary to take my happiness into consideration too.

I don’t want to spend 48 hours simply following someone else’s schedule. If you’re asking me to dedicate multiple days of my time to you, I want those days to be enjoyable for me as well.

Longer bookings are extensive commitments. My time, energy and happiness matter just as much as yours.

So, if you’re hoping to book me for multiple days, please come prepared to treat me like a princess, spoil me a little and make the experience something that we can both genuinely enjoy.

The better you understand me, the better your experience with me will be.
