FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Not really complicated, it just has a lot of variables. Things like dress or costume changes add time and cost. Additional people in the photo add a little. Travel costs a little because of gas prices today! Additional or special editing can add cost. To give you a quick breakdown: If you come over to my location for some photos I will charge you $50. That will include one or two adults, or a parent and child. I will take the photos in several locations around my home and yard (weather permitting). I will shoot for 45 to 90 minutes, and you can change clothes during that time. I will give you all the photos on CD with permission to print them, and I will edit a few, as needed. The same charge would apply to shooting at your home or favorite place, within about 10-15 miles. I do offer a discount if the photos are being sent to a loved one deployed with our military, or if you are in the military. I am very flexible with my pricing, so feel free to make me an offer.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I constantly read and study new techniques and new advancements. HDR is still a relatively new technique, but I use it now to give some pictures that added punch.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always taken photographs, for almost 50 years. I became serious about it 9 years ago when I bought a more semi professional camera. 7 years ago I started selling my Nature photography in Art Shows and Galleries. I've taken courses in portrait work, and have been expanding that part of my photography business lately. I love taking "people" photos, almost as much as capturing wildlife.
