FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My corporate hourly rate is $125./hour plus expenses. Thumbtack users often receive a discounted rate. Out of the Cincinnati area, travel expenses might be imposed, but clients will always know up-front what the extra charges will be. Clients are always free to back out if costs exceed their budget. We can also negotiate until we find a middle ground acceptable to both parties.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For every job, I want to know the needs and desires of every new and existing client. It helps me prepare for the shoot and have the equipment I need to satisfy my customer. I absolutely guarantee my work.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My bachelor's degree is in journalism with an area of specialization in photography. I attended Bowling Green (OH) State University. Some graduate work was done at Ohio University. I shoot stills, video, and extensively use off-camera lighting. Periodically, I attend ongoing education seminars for professional photographers. I have taught photography, photojournalism and studio & location lighting at Northern Kentucky University, Antonelli College and the University of Cincinnati. As well, I am a member of the National Press Photographers Association and the American Society of Media Photographers.
