Common Questions
Photography
How much do you charge?+
It really depends on the project — if you're not sure where yours lands, just reach out and ask. As a starting point: senior portraits and professional sessions start at $300 for a 2-hour shoot with a couple of outfit changes. For events, a half day runs $600 and a full day is $1,200.
How does it work once I reach out?+
I'll get back to you quickly and ask a few questions about what you're looking for, so we can figure out if we're a good fit. From there we'll work out a location, date, and time.
How far ahead should I reach out to book?+
For larger events, the more notice you can give me, the better. For individual sessions — senior portraits, band photos, small get-togethers — a week or two is usually enough.
Do you travel? What areas do you cover?+
Yes. I'm based in Vancouver/Portland and typically travel within about a 3-hour radius. Anything farther, we can talk through — travel gets worked into the quote.
How long until I get my photos back?+
For a one-on-one session, expect your photos within 1–2 weeks. For larger events where I'm shooting hundreds of photos, please allow 2–3 weeks.
What do I actually get — digital files, prints, or both?+
You'll get a Dropbox link with your edited digital files. I don't hand over raw files unless it's specifically requested. For a typical 1–2 hour session with a couple of outfit changes, I'll shoot around 200–300 raw images and deliver about 25–35 fully edited photos.
Do you require a deposit?+
Yes — I require a deposit equal to 50% of the agreed-upon price to hold your date. The remaining balance is due at the end of the shoot, and I accept cash, Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, or Zelle.
Can I use the photos for my business and social media?+
Once your photos are delivered, they're yours to use — personal or business. The one thing I ask in return is the right to use a few of them in my own portfolio and marketing.
Marketing
Why are you cheaper than an agency?+
No office, no account managers, no sales team taking a cut. You're paying for the work, not the overhead around it. It also means you talk to the person actually doing it — every time.
Am I locked into a contract?+
No long-term contracts. Google Ads has a 3-month minimum because paid ads genuinely need that long before the data means anything — everything else is month to month.
What do you need from me?+
Time on a discovery call, and access to whatever already exists — Google Business Profile, your website, analytics. If you don't have any of it yet, that's fine — we start with what you need first and build from there.
How long does a website take?+
About two weeks for a standard build, assuming photos and content are ready. If I'm shooting the photos too, add a week.
Do you work with businesses outside Vancouver?+
Yes. Marketing work happens anywhere. Photography is Vancouver/Portland metro, or farther by arrangement.
