FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
A lot goes into the pricing for a photo shoot, including the output that the customer has requested, the technical difficulty of the shoot, and the time that would be invested. When you're shopping for a quality photographer, keep in mind that only the first third (or less!) of the photographers time happens behind the camera! The rest is spent in reviewing the images, selecting the most compelling and powerful, and then post-processing the images that make the final cut!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I look forward to getting to know my customers, so the first meeting is important! It's always low pressure, and "get to know you" oriented. Then we talk about what they are looking for in the photography, and discuss the best way to capture that.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was trained and mentored by a high-end wedding photography when I was in college, and I have studied photography and post-processing formally and informally ever since. Mostly I depend on my ability to help my models and subjects feel comfortable, and use composition, context and lighting to create dynamic images.
