Your inquiry is where you'll not only get on my radar about your project, but where our potential best-business-friendship relationship kicks off.

In the inquiry form you will have the opportunity to share details about the project, where you're located, and what you're looking for in a photographer. After I receive your inquiry, you'll get an automated email inviting you to schedule a call.

To get started, inquire here now.

Inquiring about your photoshoot is the first step in our work together.

YOUR INQUIRY

The questionnaire helps me prepare for our call even better so don't feel bad over-sharing: this is where you’ll spill on the who, what, why, and how behind your project and your brand. I want to know, in your own words, what kind of images will be an asset to your business - this is the best place to start.

On our call, we’ll go over everything from process to pricing to licensing.

Where you get to tell me your hopes & dreams (as well as your worst nightmare!)

OVER-SHARERS WELCOME

When you hire me as your photographer, we’ll standardly enter into a licensing agreement (of which I have two different options).

Licensing means I own the photos & you get to use them for the fee of our contracted shoot. But, if you want to own your photos so you can distribute, sell, or print them however you want without any limitation from me, we can go over that too!

Licensing is less expensive than owning the photos, but you can do more with the photos when you own them - your investment is dependent on your business needs!

What’s the deal with licensing anyway?

THE NITTY GRITTY

If you’re ready to book your photoshoot (and I’m available for when you want to work together), you’ll be given a link to do so on your new client call. From the link, you’ll select a date, fill out your proposal, and pay your deposit. Your contract will be emailed to you after those steps are completed and must be signed within 2 business days to hold the date you selected on my calendar.

Let’s get it started!

IT’S GO TIME

The shot list is one of our shoot prep documents that will help you, me, and any other photoshoot parties discuss what we need to photograph in order for the photoshoot to be considered a success. If there is something you KNOW you need, put it on the shot list - if you’re open to anything, then leave the shot list blank and we’ll roll with my creative interpretation of the space. 

I can’t read your mind, but I can read a shot list!

GET IT ON PAPER

Put the lemons down! Photoshoot styling is an art, an art that should be taken seriously! During our shoot prep, I’ll send you my styling spreadsheet so you can take inventory of what’s at the house, what you can bring, and what you need to shop for divided up room by room.

Working with a stylist? You lucky dog. We’ll make sure we cover what the stylist is doing, what you’re doing, and when it should all be done by for our shoot timeline.

Please, no lemons.

STYLING FOR THE REST OF US

This is the only time where discussing weather is appropriate small talk. Two to three weeks before our shoot we’ll have a call to discuss weather contingencies, the shot list, any styling, and any other logistics that we might need to discuss to make sure we’re all on the same page.

“So, do you like weather?”

IT’S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

On the day of the actual photoshoot, I’ll bring in my gear and we’ll get to work! According to our light map and shot list that we discussed on our pre-shoot call, we should have a good idea at this point of where we’re starting and what the game plan for the day (days) is. All of our shoot prep will have helped us majorly: We got the big prep out of the way so you can pay attention to the tiny details of your work while I pay attention to the technical details of mine!

Kick back and…well don’t get too relaxed, this is exciting stuff!

NOW WE’RE IN GO-MODE

Unless you booked expedited editing and delivery for your photoshoot, I’ll be spending the next 20 business days dialing each and every window, paint color, light switch, and tone to make sure that your gallery represents your project in the way you envisioned. When it’s time to download the photos, I’ll send you & any other licensing parties the final invoice and confirm all licensing contracts are signed: once I have final payments from everyone and contracts, I’ll send a gallery with your images and you’ll download your selects based off of finally edited images (not proofs!). 

Thanks for waiting.

THE REAL WORK STARTS

If you’d like to submit your project either through me or through a PR firm, we’ll hold off on sharing the images on social media until the project is picked up. If you’d like to participate in my on-going passive pitching bank, you’ll receive emails from me with “🚨” in the subject line to let you know there is an urgent media opportunity and I’d like to submit a photo from your project! Keep an eye out for these emails.

Hot off the press!
