FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
As of November 2019, my current minimum for any project is $200, though I have some flexibility depending on date, day of the week, my demand, and the final deliverables needed. Quotes on thumbtack are updated regularly, but it really depends on the details of the project.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Again, this seems to vary a little, but in general the process is as follows: - Discuss project via email / text / phone. - Agree on date / time / price. - If the project is an event, I send a short survey to be completed. - I send a photo agreement via email which outlines the terms and payment schedule. In most cases, I take an initial payment to reserve the time, the balance and applicable tax is due the day of the shoot. - I create a calendar event with location and invite the customer via email. - Check in the week of appointment to confirm. - Customer can bring a shot list / examples of desired look to the shoot. - After the session, the images are delivered digitally via Dropbox, between 2 and 28 days depending on the type of project. -Prints are always custom and take about 3-4 weeks.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have my remote pilot certification for small unmanned aircraft systems (which is required by the FAA to operate drones for commercial purposes).
