Introduction

Did you know that Thumbtack charges Professionals like myself a fee each time you contact us on this platform? This can range from $15 to over $200 each time someone chooses a Photographer and asks for more information. Please try to consider this before you choose me or only contact if you are sure about hiring me. Other details or info can also be found on my website. Also please be aware of dates as if you choose a specific day but check the option for "open to other dates" then we can still get charged for a lead on a day we have already blocked-out on the calendar. So if you only need me for a specific date and it shows I am unavailable it means the day is fully-booked. Thank you for your time I look forward to working with you.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

I offer an all-inclusive flat rate. I try to provide the best value possible to my clients by offering all of the edited hi-resolution digital files from their shoot and guidance on where to make cards, save-the-dates, and enlargements.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

We start with a phone or email consultation where we discuss the overall look or theme of your shoot. From there we decide on a location and date. On the day of the shoot we will meet at your location and do a mobile check-in via phone upon arrival. I will keep a safe distance from you the entire shoot while remaining masked.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have 15 years experience working as a Professional Photographer.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I received a camera in college as a gift and haven't put it down since.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked with every kind of customer and I am proud to be able to achieve great photographic results regardless of the situation.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I volunteered with a local non-profit and helped them create all of their marketing images for 2022. This took 6 months to complete.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Look for someone whose work you like and who you think you can get along with.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

How much are you comfortable spending? How soon do you need the shoot to happen? How far are you willing to travel to meet the photographer?
