Local Photography in Hallandale Beach, FL

Hi! My name is Ashlyn McKibben and I am a South Miami photographer formally trained with a Bachelor's Degree in photography. I have over 10 years of experience, and this is my full time career. The rate quoted via Thumbtack may change upon receiving further details of your booking, every session, event, and wedding is completely different so I do my best to cater to your needs specifically vs doing generalized packages. *PLEASE READ BIO* These are important details to consider upon booking. Please note, full wedding coverage from 8+ hours, is minimum $2,500. There are additional factors that may impact this rate so as you are selecting photographers please keep this in mind. I have had an increase in leads looking for 8 hours of coverage for $500 through this platform so I figured I’d clarify. Thanks! I specialize in weddings, events, maternity photos, newborn and family sessions, surprise engagements, performances, headshots/model portfolio images, commercial branding, corporate events, product photography, and more. With over a decade of experience I have honed in my style of direction, work flow and editing and I work with any type of client regardless of gender, sexuality, race, religion etc. I always make sure my clients feel comfortable in front of the camera and are having a good time, with professional direction throughout the shoot. I also prioritize capturing candid moments at events and during sessions to have a natural and documentary feel to the delivered galleries. Most of my clients end up being great friends and we get to move through big life milestones together ! Please note that I do not provide video services at the same time as photo services. Lighting, camera settings, gear, stabilizers and more differ from one service to another. I do have a videography partner and their availability can be requested upon hire of myself, but their availability is not guaranteed to match my own, and should be taken in consideration upon booking. Studio sessions are an additional cost if it is something you desire. I can shoot close up headshots on site anywhere because I have a full strobe and background set up. But shoots that are full body on infinity walls or colored backgrounds will be done at HGAB or The Warehouse Miami. Please take note of this cost in your research. For newborn photography that is more prop and studio oriented, I do not provide these items within shoots, as each client is different and has a different taste. (this including outfits, baskets, blankets, toys etc). My newborn photography is very documentary, within the home with the parents, in the nursery etc. Please take note of this. If you are desiring a newborn shoot of the studio style with the props mentioned it must be provided by the client. I strive to give each client a unique experience and a unique gallery, which would be lessened if I used the same props in every newborn session. I do not deliver raw photos unless it is for a brand or company with their own in house design teams with specifications for publications and marketing. Delivery of raw photos will require a small usage fee. I do not limit the image delivery in weddings, events or sessions. I simply clean the gallery of any duplicates, duds, blinking shots / anything I do not deem perfect, but you will end up with thorough coverage already edited. This cancels the back and forth after of deciding which images you want edited. In my opinion the package process creates a lot of hassle for the client, so I factor the full editing into the rate. I do not personally provide 3D renderings for real estate. Delivery time: Sessions: one week Short events (4 hours or less): one week Weddings / long events: 2-3 weeks 24 Hour edits are available for an additional fee. I would also be so happy to provide classes and tutoring sessions for beginner and hobbyist photographers as well.
