FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My base rate for a photography session is $200 an hour. That being said, all sessions and events are different, so please contact me if you like my style. I am sure we can work something out. I pride myself on my flexibility and adaptability, and I like to have fun.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The most important part of working with someone new is figuring out what they want in their images and if we are a good fit. Once a date, time, and location is determined, a invoice and contract will be sent digitally to reserve that slot. Then the fun part!
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
A long, long time ago, in a galaxy very close by, I was an attorney. I was always pretty good with logic, wrote well, and learned how to argue from having an older brother...but I had no idea what I was getting myself into. In fact, working as an attorney is just one of very many jobs I have worked since I was 16 when I worked at Blockbuster. Yes...Blockbuster. Fast forward to my engagement, my wedding, my wife’s bump, and my daughter being born. They all had something in common: I paid someone to take photographs. Each time I thought, well I can do that, and it looks fun. I always liked photos, not necessarily having them taken of me, but the memories and the smiles when people saw them. I bought a DSLR camera, “a fancy schmanz” camera around 2014. My wife, Sherrie, bought me a few classes on basic photography that I enjoyed. It wasn’t really until Harper was born that I became passionate about photography. Then on a trip to Prince Edward Island, my father-in-law spotted two bald eagles perched on a tree right near our house rental. I ran to get my camera. The excitement was almost shocking. I love wildlife photography, but the birds usually don’t smile when I send them their photo galleries. (or pay well).When I get to send a gallery to a family I feel the same excitement as when I spot an owl in the wild. Being able to preserve moments in time for people is truly a gift for me just as much as it is for the families.
