How are the payments done?
All payments are processed through Zelle. This is an online money transfer application.
Once a date is finalized, I request a non-refundable initial retainer payment. This is going to be HALF of the total price we decide on.
For example, if you book a $200 shoot, once we finalize a date and location to meet I will request you to send me $100 (half of the total price) through PayPal.
This is non-refundable because I have sold that day for you which renders me unable to potentially book other clients on the same day. In other words, the initial payment is non-refundable due to any loss of business I may receive due to the client’s cancellation. Your booking for that date and time is granted through your non-refundable initial payment. Therefore, if the shoot is canceled for any reason, or you do not show up at the location and I cannot get in touch with you, then the shoot is canceled and you do not receive a refund. You would have to book me separately again and pay for a new photoshoot.
The other and final half of the payment would be requested on the day of the shoot; after the end of the photoshoot. Once I receive the second and final half of the payment, only then will I begin the editing process. They will be sent for you to enjoy within 30 days!
Do you offer any discounts?
At this current time, no. I will update my site and social media if and when I do. (follow my Instagram to stay updated!)
Will I be able to receive the RAW or unedited files?
A part of being a photographer is personalizing our images through our editing. There will be no releasing of RAW photos from my shoots because I put a great deal of time and energy into each individual photo when editing and I would not want to have my brand misrepresented by photos edited by someone other than me. That would be a false representation of my work.
This also ensures that I will keep all unedited photos of you safe, and I will only release your best final shots!
How far are you willing to go for a location?
If you already have a location in mind, please let me know in your message and I will personally let you know about my ability to make it there. Other than that, I can comfortably shoot within a 30-mile radius of Bowie, MD. Locations further than this radius may require a travel fee--the amount would be discussed between you and me.
How quickly will I receive my gallery?
Although delivery dates vary depending on the session type, I can typically guarantee a gallery delivery time of 30 days or shorter after the processed date of the final half of payment.
