- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Initial Consultation: We start with a friendly conversation to understand your needs, preferences, and vision for the photoshoot. This can be done over the phone, via video call, or in person. Planning: Based on our discussion, we'll plan the details of your shoot, including location, timing, and any specific ideas you have in mind. I'll provide guidance on what to wear and any props that might enhance your photos. Photoshoot: On the day of the shoot, I aim to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere to capture authentic and natural moments. I’m flexible and open to spontaneous ideas to ensure we get the best shots. Editing: After the photoshoot, I carefully select and edit the best images, enhancing them to highlight the beauty and emotion of each moment. Review and Delivery: Once the editing is complete, I’ll share the photos with you for review. You’ll receive high-quality digital images, and I can also assist with prints or photo books if desired. Follow-Up: I value your feedback and will follow up to ensure you’re completely satisfied with your photos. I’m always here to answer any questions and assist with future photography needs.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold an MBA with a focus on Human Resources from Upper Iowa University, which helps me manage my photography business effectively. While I'm still learning the ropes in photography, I have attended several workshops and online courses to continually improve my skills and stay updated with the latest trends and techniques.
