FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK?
It’s best to book at least a month in advance, especially if you have specific launch dates, events, or marketing campaigns in mind. This gives us enough time to thoroughly plan your session and align the images with your goals.
CAN I JUST GET A HEADSHOT?
Yes, I offer a “short story session” that includes 2 images: typically a head-and-shoulders portrait and a full-length portrait. These are ideal for career professionals needing an updated image for LinkedIn or other professional bios. We’ll still have a consultation beforehand to ensure the photos meet your needs. I occasionally offer limited edition studio sessions throughout the year, which are released to my VIP list first.
CAN I COME TO YOUR STUDIO?
I work on location with brands—whether that’s at your office, workspace, or a location that aligns with your brand’s aesthetics and goals. I occasionally offer limited edition studio sessions throughout the year, which are released to my VIP list first.
DO YOU TRAVEL FOR BRAND PHOTOSHOOTS?
Yes, I frequently travel to various locations for brand photography sessions. Travel fees may apply depending on the distance from my base. We’ll discuss all travel logistics during the booking process.
DO YOU OFFER BRAND VIDEO?
Yes, I offer showreels, behind-the-scenes (BTS), and b-roll footage for social media use. Audio is not included, and video is shot alongside the photoshoot, with photography taking priority. Video content is available upon prior request.
DO YOU HAVE A DRONE?
No, I don’t operate a drone or hold a drone license. For aerial shots, I recommend working with licensed professionals who specialize in drone photography.
DO YOU DO REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHY?
I don’t typically photograph homes or properties for real estate sales. However, I do offer headshots and personal branding photography for real estate professionals.
DO YOU DO HIGH VOLUME PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY?
No, I focus on story-based and editorial imagery. I photograph products in situ or in a natural way, on location, as part of your brand story session.
DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH LARGE TEAMS?
Yes, I work with teams of all sizes, from solopreneurs to large teams. We’ll discuss the specifics of your team’s needs during the consultation and plan the session to ensure everyone is included and the photos align with your business’s goals.
DO YOU OFFER RETOUCHING SERVICES?
All the images included in your package are professionally edited to reflect the best of your brand. If you require additional retouching or custom adjustments beyond the standard editing, we can discuss that as an add-on service.
CAN YOU HELP WITH ART DIRECTION AND STYLIING?
Yes! I offer guidance on art direction and styling as part of our pre-planning process. We’ll discuss your brand’s visual identity and how we can align the imagery to reflect that. If you have a team member or stylist, I’m happy to collaborate with them, or I can offer suggestions if you need support in this area.
CAN I USE THE PHOTOS ACROSS ALL MY PLATFORMS?
Yes! My brand story session includes a generous commercial use license, allowing your business to use the images across standard platforms such as your website, social media, email marketing, and print advertising. This license covers most day-to-day business needs.
However, it does not cover usage for international distribution, distribution by a larger umbrella company or parent group, or any third-party use. Additionally, the images cannot be used for photographic competitions, resale, or commercial use by other businesses without further licensing.
We can discuss specific licensing needs during your consultation to ensure everything is clear and tailored to your business.
