FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After talking about what they want in as specific terms as possible, we will figure out what gear will be needed. For budget shoots we will use natural light. For budgets over $250 we can provide simple lighting and with larger budgets the lighting gets more advanced. We strive to provide excellence at all times and choose locations that best work with the type of photography we are engaged in. We come to you for any and all work and are happy to work on locations of your choosing within budget. If a studio is required, one can be added to the budget a la carte. After the shoot finishes we will edit everything and provide electronic files to you as easily as we can. Usually we provide a DropBox link or a website to download the images. sometimes we will do both. If you are interested in having prints made we will set up a SmugMug site where images can be professionally printed and shipped anywhere in the world quickly. The images and video we create for you will belong to you forever. We will not reserve any image rights beyond the right to show selected images on our site for marketing purposes. You will have international rights to use the images in any way you wish in perpetuity.

- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Both of us have been interested in photography for most of our lives. We came to it from our fathers who each had good cameras and let us try them out as kids. Even though we are both from different parts of the country, we see the world in much the same way. It is often difficult for us to tell which photos were take by which of us!
