FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My base rate is $155 for outdoor sessions and $225 for studio sessions. There is an $80 non-refundable deposit due at the time of booking, with the remaining balance due the day of the session. For larger groups (over 5 people), there’s a $10 fee per additional person. I charge a travel fee of $25 for locations more than 25 miles from my location (Farmington, NY). I aim to keep pricing transparent and fair, and I’m always happy to discuss custom quotes for unique sessions or special requests!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a new client, I like to keep things simple, transparent, personal, and seamless! When a new client contacts me, I like to learn more about their vision, preferences, and any must-have shots. Once we nail down the details (date, time, location), I'll send over a contract/photo release and invoice for the non-refundable deposit. The deposit secures the booking.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’m a self-taught photographer with hands-on experience and a deep passion for the craft. I’ve learned through real-world sessions, creative experimentation, and ongoing study in the field. Recently, I joined the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) to continue growing my skills and connect with a community of dedicated professionals. I’m currently working toward earning my Certified Professional Photographer designation through PPA—a nationally recognized credential that reflects technical excellence and a commitment to the highest standards in photography.
