- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will speak to you by phone or email to set up the time and place for the photo shoot and learn a more about how you intend to use the photos. I bring all necessary equipment and lighting to the shoot, which, itself, will take between 30 to 90 minutes. (Simple head shots can be done quickly; baby/toddler portraits can take longer to get just the look you want.), During the shoot, we'll get to know one another and find the right setting and light to get a great image. Following the shoot, I'll cull through the shots and select 10 - 20 images, typically within 48 hours of the shoot, and deliver them to you via Dropbox or other digital sharing services. If you'd like, I will work with you to arrange photographic prints or create a photo book.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
