FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge by the hour. I charge a fee for extra travel. Each project is different so it is difficult to give general quotes but typically I start at $150 per shooting hour, then a photo editing fee applies typically $50-100 for 1-2 hr shoots.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We talk by email and or telephone. We share ideas. I get a feel for what we are trying to accomplish. We agree on location and timing. Early morning and dusk are ideal times for beautiful dynamic sunny images. We connect the morning of the shoot. (If shooting outside on location we confirm the weather is cooperating shortly before the shoot. ) We meet on location. You will have already told me what kind of look or feel we are going for in the photo shoot. We proceed with the photo shoot.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied photography at Columbia College Chicago. I received a BFA in photography and also studied graphic and web design. I worked as a freelance photographer for 10+ years in Chicago.
