Plan Your Next Photoshoot!
Booking?
To secure a date and guarantee your photos will be delivered on time, I recommend photoshoots be booked at least 2 weeks in advance with a required 40% of the total balance. The remaining balance (60%) will be due the day of the shoot before leaving the location. I accept Zelle, Cashapp, Paypal, and Cash. This deposit is in place to protect me and my business and it locks in the price, date, and time (unless both parties have agreed upon changes). It also helps to send all inspo photos/Pinterest boards you have to help me plan for the shoot while booking. Once you submit your form, allow me around 48 hours to reach out. Then, I will coordinate a suitable time to connect via a brief call to further discuss the details of your ideal shoot!
Studio Rental?
For all studio shoots the client is responsible for the costs of the rental. If the client does not have a specific studio in mind, I will find a studio that fits the client’s budget and concept.
My Workflow?
Every photo I take is edited meticulously. My workflow consists of importing hundreds of raw pictures from the photoshoot, removing undesirable images, uploading the remaining workable photos to Pixieset for clients to choose their favorites, editing the colors and composition within Lightroom then running those photos into Photoshop, where I do skin retouching, object removal, and finalizing edits. After all this, I carefully review each photo, ensuring everything meets my and the client’s standards. Finally, I am left with a batch of images. Once I have my final edits, I upload them back to a digital gallery (Pixieset) where the client can download, print, and send them however they please!
My turnover rate?
With all this being said this is not a hasty process. I do not slap on a filter and call it a day! My delivery time varies from 7-14 days after previews are selected by the client. This depends on the type of session booked, the volume of my work week, and if additional photos have been purchased. (Please keep in mind I’m a college student with a full-time job).
Why my rates?
One of the most complex challenges faced by artists is putting a value on their work. My rates are reflective of my years of experience and continuous learning, overhead costs like; editing software, travel, camera equipment, online services, etc. All these and much more are factored into how I set my pricing.
Please note if none of my premade packages fit the ideas you have in mind, let me know and I can quote a specialized package to suit your needs. In most cases, I can work around budgets!
Why do I not give out raw files?
I do not provide raw photos from my photoshoots because they are unfinished work that does not reflect my artistic vision and professional standards. Editing is a crucial part of my creative process, ensuring that each image meets my quality and style. However, additional edited photos can be purchased for a low fee if clients wish to receive more images from their session!
