FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is negotiable based on the needs of the client. Usually, my prices start at $100.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always like to get as many details from a client as possible to start with. This helps me get a good understanding of what they are looking for in their photos. These details often include total photos they would like, preferred location, type of shoot (event, portrait, etc.), number of people at an event/number of people in the portrait, mood, price range, availability, concerns. Once this information has been discussed and agreed upon, I like to make a mood board for our shoot (when necessary). The mood board shows ideas of what our photos could be inspired by. It will also list the agreed-upon location and all other important shoot details. I find the mood board really helps my clients and I stay on the same page and lets a client see the direction we are headed for. I often send the board to the client a few days before a shoot so they are prepared for the shoot. Payment-wise, I prefer to charge for half the total amount before the shoot date. This works as a deposit, showing that the client is serious about the photos, and allows me to cover any necessary production expenses.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended the Commercial Photography program at Seattle Central Creative Academy
