frequently asked questions
How much do you charge for a shoot?
I price my shoots based on shooting time, editing time, and skill level. The average price for a half hour portrait, family or couples session is currently $150. However, I will confirm your shoot cost with you prior to the appointment as I often tailor my prices to individual needs. Retouching is $5 per image.
Please contact me for inquiries about headshots, events and weddings.
How can I get prints of my images?
I have an account with ProDPI. Through them, I am able to provide high quality prints in high variety to my clients. If you are looking for prints of images from a shoot, you can view their price list here (USD). Feel free to choose what you’d like from their website, and contact me by e-mail when you are ready to purchase your prints.
If you are looking to purchase a print of another photo, please contact me by e-mail with the dimensions you would like and a screenshot or description of the image.
How soon can I expect my shots?
As I am currently a full-time student, balancing work, school and my photography career can be tricky. I am dedicated to keeping my clients updated, and will happily give you a turnaround estimate at the time of the shoot. I try to maintain a standard turnaround time of two-weeks maximum for all sessions except events and weddings, but my schedule is always subject to change as necessary. Event photography turnaround entirely depends on my schedule at the time and the size of the event.
What is the best way to book?
The most reliable way to book with me is currently by e-mail. I also take bookings by direct message on Facebook and Instagram, but I prefer e-mail as it’s easier to keep track of. I do not take wedding or event bookings by Instagram direct message.
Do you require a deposit?
I maintain a policy that after one cancellation or rebooking, I require a non-refundable $50 deposit for portrait and family sessions. This is to limit the pressures of rebooking under time constraints.
How much notice do you need for bookings?
Ideally, short sessions would be booked two weeks in advance, while events and weddings would be one month in advance. However, I am often available for more last-minute bookings, so feel free to reach out if you’re in need.
