FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
  Session Photography: Engagement Photography - $225 (In Studio +$50) Bridal Photography - $225 (In Studio +$50) Boudoir Photography - $175 (In Studio +$75) Family Photos - $175 (In Studio +$50) Wedding Photography: $175/hr with a two hour minimum. One full day maxes out at $1,500, which is 9 hours or more. If two or more days are required, any additional day’s rates are the same, but each additional day only maxes out at $1,250, which is 7 hours or more. Print products are available once photos are edited, as well as un-watermarked digital downloads. Commercial Photography: Price varies from shoot to shoot, depending on the type of photos needed. $125/hour with a two hour minimum(additional costs do occasionally occur, but rarely do they exceed $75) is most common. Lodging & Travel Fees: All additional fees will be discussed, agreed to, and included in the contract at booking, and they will be factored into the total price. Air travel and lodging arrangements will be paid with the deposit in order to allow me to book those arrangements as soon as possible. If lodging is required (75 miles of travel or more), client will pay for lodging for one night(the night after the photoshoot) unless air travel is required, then client will also pay for lodging for the night prior to event to avoid any risk of flight delays causing me to be late. Hotel or AirBnB selection will be made by me, and cost will be factored in to price at the time of the booking. If client wishes to book lodging themselves, that is acceptable, but the selection of the lodging will need to be decided and agreed to prior to booking and outlined in the contract. Car travel fees only occur when the photoshoot or even location exceeds 25 miles. The fee is $15 for ever 25 miles driven after the initial 25 miles. For instance, a wedding 25 miles away will warrant a one time $15 fee, a wedding 50 miles away will warrant a one time $30 fee, a wedding 75 miles away will warrant a one time $45 fee, and so on. For air travel, the fee is just the cost of one round trip ticket to the even location and back to Houston, and either a one-time fee of $100 for Lyft or taxi services or an insured car rental equal to the amount of days needed for any photoshoots or events.
• What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
  Don't judge them just by the words of others. Go take time to look at the work they have done, and take the time to call and talk or meet with them before making a decision. I’m not saying reviews aren’t helpful to find good photographers, but they should hardly be the deciding factor. The best way for a photographer to really know what a client needs and wants is with a face to face meeting. Secondly, and most importantly, the vast majority of photographers that offer videography and photography do one service really well, and one service really poorly. It’s always best to go with a specialist. Unfortunately, of photographers and videographers just want to make the extra money since they can charge for both, without caring about the quality of the product being produced. So, go with a specialist for each rather than trying to find someone to do both!
