Frequently asked questions

Are you available for travel?

A.Yes! While the Charlotte and Lake Norman area is my home base, my camera frequently finds itself in the surrounding areas of North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and even farther. Let's talk about the details of your project, give me a call!

How long have you been doing this?

A.Good question! How long ago did I pick up my first camera? 18 years ago. How long have I been working as a paid photographer? 16 years, and nearly all of them focused on helping businesses share their brand, services, and products.

How many photos do we get?

A.That depends entirely upon the scope of your project. We'll discuss your goals for the shoot and take the quantity you need into account when scheduling your photoshoot.

How do you deliver photos?

A.You'll receive an email linking to a branded web gallery with two sections, Proof Gallery for making selections and Final Gallery to download all final images. It doesn't get any easier than that!

Do you retouch photos?

A.Absolutely! There's a range of work that can go into finishing photographs, all of which falls into the category of "Post-Production". This is a service that is included for my photography clients to take their images from raw building blocks to finals ready to post and publish.
And for my fellow photographers out there, I'm here to help you get through your workflow more efficiently and get you more time behind your camera, because let's face it, that's where every photographer wants to be.

Whats your turn around time?

A.The initial proof gallery, when applicable, will be available within one business week for you to make selections within 10 business days. If I don't hear from you by then I'll reach out to touch base with you but otherwise make selections myself on your behalf. Final processed images will be delivered within 2-4 business weeks of selections, or of the shoot date if selections are not applicable. If expedited image processing is needed we can make it happen for a rush fee- just let me know!

How do we book you?

A.Please reach out via call, text, or email with the details of what you need and we'll get the ball rolling! My info is available on the Contact page.

How far out do you book?

A.As far as you need. I prefer to schedule at least two weeks out, but if something comes up last minute please still give me a call!

Is there anything that can help lower the cost?

A.YES! If there are other people interested in being able the images from your project, such as vendors or collaborators, I can do a cost-share between parties. For each additional party involved there is a percentage added to the total cost of the shoot, and then the bill is split equally between all parties. Each party is invoiced separately, receives their own set of digital files, and has the right for their company to use the images..The more parties involved, the lower your portion gets!

Can I “gift” the images to my client?

A.Yes, if you would like to gift the images you can cover the recipient's portion of the cost share invoice. Otherwise, no, as a standard my licensing agreements are single-party usage only.
