FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
At C Stilley Portraits, my packages range from $185–$300, created to fit exactly what you’re looking for. Sessions typically last 30 minutes to an hour. If you’d like more time, additional coverage can easily be added on. You can also choose from a variety of add-on options, including prints and canvases, to make your session truly one of a kind.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After a new client inquires about our services we schedule a call, meeting, or quick chat to learn more about their vision and needs. key questions we confirm are: •What type of shoot (portraits, family, seniors, event, etc.)? •Any specific style they prefer (posed, candid, artistic, bright/airy, dark/moody)? •Where do they plan to use the photos (prints, social media, album, etc.)? Afterwards, we discuss the agreement with a clear proposal outlining the day, time, charge, and what’s including in their price. Next: We collect the retainer/deposit to secure the booking. Then: We Scout the location if necessary, or suggest one if the client doesn’t already have one in mind. Before the session, we will confirm the appointment within 24-48 hours. After the session: We back up all photos immediately. •Select and edit the best images (according to your style agreed upon) Lastly: We deliver final images in the promised format and include the copyright to all purchased portraits.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I began my photography journey as a middle school kid in 2000. I have enjoyed capturing images, whether it be during family vacations or family portraits. It went from a hobby that I enjoyed to something that I’ve developed as a business since 2013.
