FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Regarding pricing, a few key factors can influence the overall cost of your photo session. These factors include the duration of the session, the location, and the number of people involved. The duration of the session: Longer sessions may have a slightly higher price due to the extended time and additional resources required to capture various shots and ensure a comprehensive collection of photos. The location: If the session is set to take place in a specific location that requires additional travel or permits, there might be associated fees to cover those expenses. However, there may be no additional charges for local sessions or commonly used locations. The number of people: If you plan to include a larger group of individuals in the session, such as extended family members or a large team, there may be a small fee to account for the extra time and effort needed to capture everyone effectively. Regarding discounts, I offer competitive pricing based on the unique requirements of each session. However, specific discounts or promotional offers may be available during certain seasons or special events. Feel free to inquire about any ongoing discounts or promotions when you reach out to discuss your session. Please note that my pricing for the photography session does not include extensive Photoshop editing or advanced retouching of the photos. My standard editing process involves subtle enhancements, such as adjusting lighting, color balance, and minor touch-ups, to ensure the images look their best while maintaining their authenticity. These standard enhancements are included in the session price. However, an extra fee will apply if you require additional Photoshop editing services beyond our standard enhancements, such as significant retouching, object removal, or specific alterations. This fee covers the additional time, expertise, and resources required to fulfill these specialized editing requests. Ultimately, I aim to provide transparent pricing reflecting the time, effort, and resources dedicated to creating memorable, high-quality photographs. Rest assured; I'm always open to discussing pricing details and finding the best arrangement that suits your needs and budget. If you have any questions about pricing or would like to discuss your session in more detail, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to help!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After the customer agrees to book a session, I email them our contract and a deposit link to secure the spot. Once the deposit is received, I confirm the booking and provide essential session details. I maintain open communication throughout the process to address any questions or concerns. This streamlined approach ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience for the customer.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a bachelor's degree in business computer studies, which has provided me with a solid foundation in technology and business management. As for photography, I am primarily self-taught and have gained extensive knowledge and experience through continuous learning and hands-on practice. My passion for photography has driven me to explore different techniques and styles, with a particular affinity for capturing natural light and genuine moments. I value authenticity and believe in preserving the natural essence of my subjects. Therefore, while I offer basic touch-ups to enhance the overall quality of the images, I do not rely on extensive Photoshop editing to alter appearances or create artificial effects. I focus on capturing the beauty and genuine emotions present in each moment, allowing the subject's true essence and the environment to shine through. This approach ensures that the photographs reflect the authenticity and natural beauty of the scene. With my combined background in business and my dedication to photography, I strive to provide a professional and authentic experience for my clients, preserving their cherished moments with integrity and skill.
