FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have an idea of what a project will cost. I try very hard to work within budgets of my clients.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The very first thing I like to do is talk to the customer, either on the phone or set up an in-person meeting to talk to them about their wants, needs and visions. It is very important that their vision is captured and that they are happy with the final product. After hearing details from them I will put together some visuals to make sure we are on the same page and our vision for the project is on point. We can set a date for the project and once the final images are created I will deliver them via a download link.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I earned a BFA in Commercial Photography from Brooks Institute in 2005, and began working as a commercial photographer in 2003. In 2009 I was hired as the Director of Photography to develop the product for a startup production company. I oversaw the development and growth of their creative department, and incorporated new members in the collaborative process. I moved to Modesto in early 2013 to take a job as the Senior Photographer and Studio Manager for a high-volume, online, fashion retailer. Since then I have worked closely with the Creative Director and marketing team to conceptualize and implement advertising campaigns, catalogs, and social media campaigns. I take my experience and knowledge I have learned from my full time positions and apply it to my freelance job. Many of my "new customers" are still working with me and they have turned into friends.
