FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I stand behind my product 100%. I take the time to get to know my clients and deliver their visions to them. While I have package pricing available, I can also customize packages to fit your needs. Every job is as unique as the client I work with & trying to fit them into a predefined package may not always work. By discussing the client’s needs, budget, and timeline, packages that will fulfill the client's dreams can readily be created.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First and foremost, getting to know my clients and what their needs are is essential! No two clients have the exact same needs or visions; each client experience is truly unique. I believe it's important to discuss what their views are, what the end product they most desire is, and the time frame in which to complete the project. Even giving examples of previous jobs can be helpful if my client looks to me for guidance. Sometimes they don't know what they are looking for so suggestions, examples, and guidance will get the ideas flowing. I can be as involved in the planning process as they would like or if they know exactly what they want I can follow that for the desired outcome.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Photographing everything from events, corporate headshots, real estate, architecture, engagement photo shoots, Drone photography, and I'm an expert at Photoshop along with multiple other editing software platforms.
