FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All packages are listed on my website. Occasionally I will offer special pricing and you can find those on my Facebook page. Events are not listed on my website because I take many things into consideration in order to provide the most fair price, but my starting rate is $250.00/hr.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to establish a relationship with my clients. Any kind of photo session should be fun! That's how you capture the true, raw emotions of the moment and the chemistry between people. I totally understand that for some people it's awkward to stand in front of a camera, believe me, I'm one of those! This is why I like building a relationship with my clients! Because I want you to feel comfortable around me and i want you to totally forget that i'm holding a camera and aiming it at you. I want your true self to be reflected in my work. I keep communication open with emails and text messages. I provide my clients with tips to make their photo session a success and I am ALWAYS available to answer questions. Depending on the package selected, the client will either meet with me when I'm finished editing the images, so that the client may select their favorites for printing or the images will be mailed on a USB drive to the client. If a package has been selected where I need to mail the images to the client, the client will receive an email with a tracking number.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started photography when I had my baby girl. I was living in Jersey City, NJ. Low income community and myself a low income single-mother. Every time that I would get on social media, I would see these beautiful images of newborns and I wanted to purchase a photo session for my daughter as well, but the reality of if was that I couldn't afford it. One day I just decided that I was going to learn how to do it and take those professional looking pictures of my daughter myself. I asked my mother for a small loan and purchased my first DSLR! :D I did a lot of research and with time, friends through Facebook started inquiring about my work. People that I grew up with wanted me to take pictures of them and their families. After that everything just happened to fast!
