FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
First and foremost, I want to be as negotiable as reasonably possible when it comes to pricing. I know that in this day and age it's difficult to justify spending massive amounts of money on anything, let alone creative services. That's why I want you to know that I'm more than willing to work with you to come to an agreeable amount that benefits both parties! Another thing to keep in mind: I am just starting out (officially debuted in 2017!), and so my prices are going to be comparatively lower than most of my competition. However, as you can see from some examples of my work, the end result is not compromised - I put an enormous amount of time and passion into my work, which I hope you'll find is worth my pricing :)
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My typical process for new patrons is to discuss in length the details and expectations of their session. I usually like to see examples of what they are hoping for in terms of editing style, posing preferences, ideal locations, etc., and welcome any photos that they might find on Pinterest that they might want to emulate. I don't have a preference on how we discuss these things, whether it be through Thumbtack messaging, over the phone, or through Facebook, as long as we have some time to get a good feel for what my patrons are envisioning! At the end of the day, the most important thing is for you to be genuinely impressed, awed, and elated about your pictures - I accept nothing short of that outcome, and that's why I try to learn as much as I can about my patrons beforehand!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from the University of Minnesota, Duluth in the spring of 2019 with a BFA in Graphic Design, and much of my courses revolved around the use of photography. My inherent love and preference towards the use of photography in my graphic design courses was a known fact throughout my professors in the department, and I was quickly acknowledged as the Photoshop pro of my graduating class.
