- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
1. Discovery call or chat to confirm date, goals, style, and location. 2. Quote + booking link. A small retainer secures the date; I send a prep guide. 3. Shoot day: relaxed direction, professional lighting, multiple looks if needed. 4. Proofs gallery delivered for selection. 5. Retouching of chosen favorites. 6. Final delivery as high-resolution downloads (plus social-ready files) via a private gallery.
