FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Because my work is so varied, from photographic art, relational family and event photography, corporate, architectural photography among other categories, each type of client requirements are very different. So I have found it most fair and beneficial to provide quotes based on specific needs.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My first step is always to get the most information from my client about what they feel their needs and wants are - so I can offer ways that I can help them with their goals as much as possible. Then we can work together on the logistics for the most successful and fun photography session. Following the photography, I try to get the created images on-line quickly, as clients typically are excited to see them right away. This typically requires only 24 hours or so. Then, together, we take it from there if they require any further services, such as special artwork, finished photographs for display or gift-giving, etc. Many of my clients like to purchase all the images on a CD or delivered immediately on-line with an unlimited copyright release.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My abilities to give meaningful images to my clients has become more and more successful with over 38 years of full-time photography experience. My formal education is, primarily, from the 'College of Art and Design' in Minnesota, with the 'Craftsman of the Year' award for the state of Minnesota, and many course studies at the 'Winona School of Professional Photography' in Illinois. I consider my education to always be ongoing.
