FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have purposefully chosen a "day job" which has allowed me to set aside ALL DAY Thursdays and Saturdays for my clients to schedule weeks or months in advance. Some weekdays I am available starting at 4pm by appointment. Basic social media type head-shots are now only available after 7pm by appointment unless I come to you on site. Pricing is generalized around both my trumpet students and my photography/music studio. It is rather simple: $60/hr on site and $30/hr for editing Travel fee: $30 per hour (one way only)
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
After a 2012 downsizing - I decided to embrace and enjoy my mid-life crisis. I was always doing something musical but my mom gave me her dad's Canon A1 camera with every imaginable attachment 15 years ago. But 14 years ago I lost 50% sight in my right eye and put the camera down. Just 3 years ago (and 5 doctors later) I was given the "right prescription" and consequently see well enough to love it again!
