1. What’s your photography style?

I specialize in a seamless blend of documentary and portrait photography, capturing authentic moments with a timeless touch. My goal is to highlight the essence of your personal brand, focusing on both candid and posed shots that reflect your unique story, values, and the work you do as a business owner.

2. How far in advance should we book you?

I recommend booking 2-4 weeks in advance, especially in the summer when I am busy with weddings. However, feel free to reach out for last-minute availability.

3. How long is the session?

Well, it actually depends! I'll be able to give you a better estimate after our consultation call. The price sheet is typically based on a 1-hour session, but don't worry, you can always add more time if needed.

4. How much do people tend to spend?

The cost really depends on your type of business and the amount of time required for the shoot. Certain industries, like culinary or hospitality, may need more preparation time which impacts the session's duration. On the other hand, some businesses are all set and ready to go. On average, clients tend to spend between $1000 and $2000. However, keep in mind that everything is tailored to meet your specific needs and budget!

5. How many photos will we receive?

You can generally expect an average of 50-70 images per hour of coverage.

6. How far would you drive for a personal branding session?

Locations within a 25-mile radius of my base (Evanston) are included at no additional cost. For distances beyond that, I charge a $50 travel fee for every additional 10 miles. Let me know your desired location, and we can plan accordingly!

8. Would you give the Raw files?

Hey, great question! So, here's the deal: for photography, I'll provide you with all the selected images, fully edited and ready to go. They'll be perfect for posting and showing off your awesome business!

Now, when it comes to videography, I've got something special for you. I'll happily give away all the RAW video footage to you. That way, you can work your magic and create short clips and reels for your social media. It's a fantastic way to personalize your content and engage with your audience.

If you're interested in videography with a DSLR camera, I've got an even cooler option for you. I'll create a short edited video clip, around 2-3 minutes in length, that captures the essence of your entire business in one awesome glimpse. And guess what? You can even opt for a voice-over instead of music! Just prepare your Scripps (script) and my videographer will record your voice separately. It adds a personal touch that truly makes your video shine.

So, whether it's photography or videography, we've got you covered! Let's make some amazing content together!

7. Would you also do videography?

Yes, depending on the package you choose, I also offer videography services. The best option is when you book both photography and videography together. We’ll work side by side, capturing the same moments from different perspectives. At the end, you’ll have both photos and videos from the same scenes, perfect for showcasing your brand on your website or social media.

9. Where does the session take place? 

When it comes to capturing the essence of your business, I totally get that you want to give your clients and customers a sneak peek behind the scenes. That's why I suggest shooting at your workspace, shop office or studio—it's like taking them by the hand and showing them the magic that happens there. And hey, if you work from home, we can totally set up our session in the comfort of your own space. No worries at all!

Oh, and guess what? I've also got access to this fantastic studio, all bright and beautiful. It's an amazing option if you're looking for that extra touch. Just bear in mind that there's a small additional fee of $200 for using the studio, but trust me, it's worth it.

10. Are the photo and video sessions separate?

Well, it all depends on the package you go for! My most popular option is the photo and video package. During the shoot, my videographer and I work side by side, capturing the same scenes together. In those tight spots, there might be instances where we need to shoot a scene separately, ensuring we get the best shots from different angles. But don't worry, it's all about getting those perfect moments for you!

12. How long is the turnaround time for receiving the images?

Delivering your images quickly is an essential part of the experience! I strive to share them with you as soon as possible. Typically, you can expect to receive your high-resolution images via an online gallery within 3-4 weeks after the session.

11. Can you do product photography?

Absolutely! I've got a whole range of services that are perfect for businesses looking to showcase and sell their awesome products. When it comes to product photography, my approach is super flexible and can be tailored to fit your unique needs.

I take into account a bunch of factors, like the type of product you've got, how you plan to use the photos, the look and feel you want to achieve, and who your target audience is. It's all about creating images that capture attention and make your products shine!

Now, since every project is different, the pricing for my product photography services is still to be determined (TBD). It can vary based on those factors we talked about earlier. But hey, no worries! I work closely with my clients to understand exactly what they're looking for and to make sure we deliver exceptional results that fit their needs and budget.

So, let's chat about your products and figure out the perfect plan to make them look absolutely amazing!
