FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do have standard pricing which has proven to be more than fair and extremely competitive. Additionally, I work with my client's on pricing to give them the best deal possible, whether it be for individual or group pricing.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once my submitted price bid has been accepted, we first talk via phone so I can get some additional initial information about their event, their vision and expectations. We then would sit down as soon as possible after that so we can discuss face to face the event, their vision and what they desire as to the end product. I also want to visit the venue, if possible, so I can get a visual and can mentally put together my own game plan as to best places to shoot from, any outside areas in which to shoot, how the lighting is, how will the venue be set up, etc. Also, with my experience, I've found that I can add some suggestions that can more enhance the event and they and their guests own experience. Additionally, we will go over different product offerings to determine which best suits their event and budget while still attaining the desired results of beautiful photos.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have earned certificates of completion from a number of advanced photography courses ranging from editing to composition to lighting and am a member in good standing of the Professional Photographers of America. I am also a member of numerous photography groups in the Bay Area and the National Park Service, all avenues that allow me to get out and photograph regularly and consistently.
