FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  My minimum session time is 1 hour, and I book in hourly increments. Pricing depends on the type of session — for example, event photography typically costs more than a regular portrait session. To secure your booking, I require a non-refundable deposit: • $50 for standard sessions (such as family, portraits, lifestyle, etc.) • $150 for weddings or larger events The deposit is applied toward the final price and helps lock in your date and time. The remaining balance is due on the day of the shoot. My pricing reflects the time, expertise, and professional equipment I bring to each session. It includes all the best edited images in high resolution, with optional retouching and video add-ons. I occasionally offer mini sessions or seasonal discounts — just ask!

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  I start with a quick consultation to understand your vision, occasion, and preferences. From there, I help with location ideas, outfit guidance if needed, and timing (especially for best lighting). On the shoot day, I guide you gently through poses or candid moments. Final edited photos are delivered via an online gallery within 1–2 weeks.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I’ve taken multiple professional courses in portrait and lifestyle photography, including lighting, editing, and posing techniques. I also constantly update my skills with workshops and masterclasses from top photographers in the industry.
