FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Special offer for new Thumbtack clients: 10% off your first session! My pricing depends on the type of session, its length, and the number of final images. Every session includes a personal consultation, help with concept and styling, posing guidance, and professionally hand-retouched photos delivered in an online gallery within 7–14 business days. • A 20% deposit is required to book your date; the remaining balance is due on the day of the shoot. • Travel within 25 miles is included; beyond that, a travel fee may apply. • Studio rental or location permit fees (if needed) are not included and will be discussed in advance. • Additional retouched images and rush delivery are available for an extra fee. Feel free to message me with your idea — I’ll put together a personalized quote for you.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
1. Free consultation. We start with a short chat about your goals, ideas, and where you’ll use the photos. 2. Concept and styling. I help you plan the concept, location, outfits, and overall look, so the shoot feels personal and well-prepared. 3. Booking. Once we agree on the details, a deposit secures your date and I send a simple contract. 4. The photoshoot. I guide you through posing and expressions throughout the session — no experience needed. My goal is for you to feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. 5. Editing and delivery. I carefully select and hand-retouch your best images, then deliver them in an online gallery within 7–14 business days.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Photography has been my passion for many years, and I’m largely self-taught through hands-on practice and countless shoots. I continuously improve my skills through online courses and workshops on lighting, posing, and professional retouching in Lightroom and Photoshop. I’m always learning and experimenting to bring fresh, cinematic ideas to every session.
