FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I like to keep my pricing simple so there are no surprises later on. Nickel-and-diming people isn't my style so I like being up front about my rates and quotes and generally quote a bit higher to make sure we come in under budget. I do provide discounts for non-profits. A typical quote will include a creative fee, licensing fee for selected images, assistant fee, and incidentals and/or travel expenses.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Assessing the client's needs by establishing a timeline, budget, discussing crucial project details and/or shot list, & setting up a project date. After the shoot, I'll deliver a digital proof gallery for the client to choose images from & send their choices to a professional post-production artist make sure they look perfect.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I earned a BFA from UW-Milwaukee in Photography. To keep up on technology & industry trends, I soak up podcasts and watch training/educational videos at the office or during down time.
