FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
With three different pricing plans, I do my best to keep my pricing simple. Contact me if you have any questions and I would be more than happy to work out something that fits your needs.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
For as long as I can remember, capturing images has been a passion . As a kid I was constantly running around with a camera, instinctively drawn to a viewfinder and trying to capture that perfect moment. Set aside the fact that my camera usually didn't have film in them, I felt at home looking through a lens. That passion carries on to this day.
