F.A.Q.
Q: I’ve never had professional photos done before, what can I expect?
A: First off, you can expect a very smooth process from start to finish. If you have specific questions or concerns, we can always discuss that when you contact me. Generally, most people have anxiety about getting their photo taken 100-300 times in one day, and that’s understandable. However, within moments of shooting, that feeling will evaporate. You will get my undivided attention, plenty of direction, and total satisfaction when we are through. The most important thing to remember is that you are dealing with a pro, and I’ve shot hundreds if not thousands of people. We will get the shot you want.
Q: How do I schedule a shoot?
A: The easiest way is to call, but you can also send an email through my contact form. To expedite the process have an idea what day you’d like to shoot, and a 50% deposit by credit or debit card will hold your appointment time.
Q: What is your re-scheduling/cancellation policy?
A: If you cancel or reschedule your shoot with more than 24 hours notice from the time of our appointment, you will lose your initial deposit. If you cancel or reschedule your shoot with less than 24 hours notice from the time of our appointment, you will lose your initial deposit and be required to pay an additional 50% of the cost of your photoshoot should you reschedule. In both scenarios listed previously, you will be required to put down a second deposit to reschedule.
Q: What times are you typically open?
A: I am by appointment only. Generally, I like to start shooting by 10am and finish shooting for the day around 3pm. However, I will accommodate for custom packages on an individual basis.
Q: What will I receive when you mail me the disc after the photo shoot?
A: You will receive your entire shoot on DVD or digital download, plus one re-touched photo per outfit at no additional cost. Should you require any additional re-touching, it’s $20 per photo.
Q: What’s the difference between the Headshot Package and the Portfolio Package?
A: The Headshot Package is an hour long session usually consisting of 3 outfits. Typically, most actors and some models choose this package as it allows enough time for them update their current shots. The Portfolio Package is a 2 hour long session usually consisting of 4-5 outfits with time allotted for different hair and make-up styles. Typically, most aspiring models choose this package because agencies will expect a full range of outfits to market you properly.
Q: Prior to our scheduled photo shoot, what should I plan on doing?
A: The best way to prepare for your shoot is simple. Decide on what outfits you are going to be bringing, then have them washed, pressed, and on hangers. This includes bringing the appropriate footwear, accessories, and grooming tools. Get a good night’s sleep and drink plenty of water, also avoid as much salty foods as possible. You’ll feel better, and your skin will thank you. Finally, have your hair and make up done the way you like it upon arrival.
Q: How quickly will I receive my photos after the shoot?
A: I strive to get your disc in the mail to you within 3 business days at the latest. Digital downloads are next day.
Q: What forms of payment do you accept and when do I pay you?
A: Payment must be made in full, minus your deposit, the day of the shoot. I accept cash, checks, and credit cards.
Q: What do I do after I have received my photo files?
A: Depending on what you’re using the photos for, this question can be answered a few different ways. If you need hard copies of the photos, contacting a professional printer will most likely be your next step. However, if you plan on using the photos digitally only, you can start uploading them immediately to your liking. If the files are too large, a quick visit to picresize.com will enable you to make the files smaller.
