FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First customers need to realize many factors that go into shooting and capturing there moments. But I send quotes, and explain why I might be higher and the cheapest around . Cheaper is not always better, a Professional or semi Pro Photographer carries insurance, copyright, between $20,000 and up in camera equipment, and is using mostly Full Fram cameras. I always explain the importance of these factors, and why they matter. My contracts are discussed and reviewed before my customer agrees and signs. I all ways show up on time, and prepared. I take every little extra step to make the experience fun and safe. I also carry enough batteries and extra memory cards to shoot several events over. As well as show up with extra Cameras and Lenses. If extra photographer is needed my clients are insured they have Semi Pro or Professional background and I have worked with them before.
