 FAQs

  • Location is so important to a photoshoot and the overall quality of the photos! Most client’s choose to utilize my beautiful 1,500 sf studio, which has a lot of shooting options and backgrounds. However, sometimes it makes more sense to hold the session where you do business, such as at your office, or out in public. When shooting off-site, we’ll plan around weather, light and time of day in order to create the best images we can! Great spaces for rent by the hour can be found on Peerspace.com, HomeStudioList.com, or Airbnb. Keep in mind that you will need to pay any location fees if required.

  • I get it! There are a lot of options. Schedule a Discovery Call where we can chat about what you want and need, and we’ll figure out the best session for you!

  • Choosing the right wardrobe for your brand session can feel scary and overwhelming. But, it doesn’t need to be! Your wardrobe should make sense for what you do in your business and reflect your personal style.

    I always advise wearing your brand colors, an outfit that consists of all of white or neutrals, a slightly more casual outfit and an outfit that feels a little more dressy. Add in pops of bright colors and don’t forget the accessories!

    A great place to start is by creating a Pinterest Board of images that inspire you for your brand shoot.

    Still feeling uncertain? That’s where a professional stylist can help. A stylist will consult with you and help you choose the perfect outfits and accessories for the message you want to convey. Some clients even choose to hire the stylist to be onset during the photoshoot to ensure that their whole look is pulled together and polished throughout. Be sure to ask for stylist recommendations…I have a few great ones!

  • Yes! Don’t hesitate on this one! Hiring a professional Hair and Makeup Artist who understands PHOTOSHOOT makeup can make a world of difference. The right artist understands what to do to ensure you look and feel your best and most confident self on camera!

    Ask me for my recommendations!

  • Great question! You are making an investment into your business and brand. Therefore, you won’t want to rush the process and risk showing up unprepared.

    For this reason I recommend that Executive and Signature sessions be booked at least 4 - 6 weeks in advance. This allows time for planning, consulting, finding the right locations, gathering props, shopping for your wardrobe pieces and making any appointments like haircuts and manis.

    Refresh sessions can be booked 2 - 4 weeks out. And headshots can be booked in as little as 48 hours out. Just make sure you are happy with the wardrobe you already have and have a haircut you are happy with.

    I do not recommend getting a new haircut the day before your photoshoot…just in case.

  • For Branding, Interiors and Product sessions, you will receive your gallery of edited images approximately two weeks from your photoshoot dates. Then the fun begins…selecting your images!

    Can’t narrow it down to the number of images included in your session fee? No worries! Additional images are available for $25 each, or sets of 10 images for $200. Fully gallery buyouts are also available, just ask.

    For Headshot sessions, because your included two images are fully retouched, the process is a little bit different. You will receive a gallery of unretouched images within 24 hours of your session. Simply pick your favorite two, and the fully retouched images will be sent to you as high-resolution digital files within 2 business days.

  • Absolutely! Branding sessions include basic editing like color-correction, straightening, cropping, and light skin smoothing.

    Body or clothing modification is not included in this editing, but can be requested for $50 per image.

    Headshot Session images are fully retouched and include stray hair removal, eye brightening, teeth whitening, skin retouching (based on your preferences).

  • Thanks for asking! I travel on a limited basis. Any travel outside of the Phoenix Metro area requires compensation for all travel expenses and time.

    I travel to Minnesota at least once per year, and will announce those dates when I have them. Compensaton for travel is not required for these sessions.

  • Photography that is used to market yourself and your business is an investment. So, if you have made it this far into doing the research for fresh photos, your already understand the importance of professional images and the difference quality photography makes.

    Your budget will depend on what you need…a few updated headshots, some fresh social media content, or maybe an entire website overhaul?

    Most clients invest between $750 - $5000 on their brand photos, including hair and makeup services, wardrobe and wardrobe stylist, location rental fees if needed, and of course the photography.

    Many clients will save up for a session, or will select a payment plan for their brand photography session. Think you may need a payment plan? Let’s jump on a call to discuss it.
