- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rates are negotiable, depending on the type of session, location, etc. The cost for my services are very competitive and "budget friendly", Included in all of my sessions: -Extensive consulting for you prior to the shoot to determine exactly what type images you wish to create, recommendations for location, wardrobe, hair and makeup. -A private, password protected gallery of all the proof images from your session. -Ten retouched images from your session of your choice. (More upon request at a reasonable rate,) -Electronic copies of all retouched images in high resolution, downloadable directly from your private gallery. -A photographer release which allows you to upload and order prints of your digital images from any photo lab of your choice. -Ability to purchase prints (at cost) from my business web site. -A memorable, enjoyable, collaborative, creative experience.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I feel that communication is the key to any type of successful collaboration... When first collaborating with a new client with whom I have never worked, I like to use "inspiration images" to share ideas back and forth. ("What" you want to shoot will drive the "when" and "where" we will shoot...) I find one of the most enjoyable parts of the entire photo shoot experience is the creative collaboration between the photographer and the subject. My job is to help you with deciding what type images you want and then working with you to assist you with brining your vision to realization. And...to make sure it is a fun, positive experience throughout the entire process.

- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have 30+ years experience as a photographer, and well over 10 years as a graphics artist. My editing/retouching skills are far more advanced that those of the average photographer. I can create/recreate virtually any look/style that you may want. Tell me/show me what type images you want, I will provide a sample gallery of similar images in that style which I have shot.
