FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing for portrait sessions is based on time required (number of locations and outfit changes) and the number of people you would like photographed. Event photography pricing is dependent upon the size of the venue and number of attendees. Prices are per hour but that also includes all the preparation and post event processing and editing of images as well as the cost of maintaining and providing an online image gallery. Not to mention technical know how and continuing education!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attend seminars and workshops at least every 2 months throughout the year and go more frequently when time permits. Being a photographer is a constant journey of learning and experimenting with new techniques and ideas, continuing education is crucial to growth. I also stay active on sites such as NPPA.ORG, ASMP.ORG, and sportsshooter.com
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Find samples of images you really like, that the photographer you are looking to hire has actually taken! Also check into any work that the photographer has actually done on a deadline for any media outlets such as newspapers or magazines, that will give you an idea if the photographer is able to meet and keep deadlines and provide the images that they were hired to capture.
