What’s your style of shooting?
I shoot everyone a little differently, depending on their personality and needs. Sometimes, people need direction, so I’ll give it to them. Sometimes, people know what to do, so I’ll just throw ideas out there, and they’re free to take off with them. I love to hear your ideas and feedback and am open to anything people want to shoot. If you bring in sample shots, I can reproduce their lighting and feel for you.
Studio or natural light?
I use both, mostly natural, to achieve whatever we want with your specific look. I can take them outdoors, on location, or with studio backgrounds. I go with whatever fits the picture best, and I’m not opposed to either or anyway, so long as it works.
Do you shoot on location?
The shoot is usually a mixture of both in-studio and on-location.
What does retouching cost?
$20 per image.
What if something’s wrong with my photos – do you offer reshoots?
Yes. If anything I do goes wrong during the shoot that would require a reshoot, the reshoot is free (lighting, lack of expression, poor background choice). If you do something wrong, like wear facial hair, and then find out afterward your agent wants it clean-shaven, then I’ll reshoot at half price. It’s always best to discuss what your agent or manager wants BEFORE taking photos. If you are to wake up with a swollen face from an allergic reaction on the day of the shoot, then it’s best to pay the last-minute cancellation fee rather than shooting and then having to pay for a reshoot if the issue is too obvious.
