Q&A

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

Session fees include your time with the photographer, preparation, shooting, and basic editing. Prints and digital images are sold separately unless otherwise stated in a package. Packages are available for weddings, portraits, branding, and events — all customizable to fit your needs. We offer seasonal promotions and discounts for military families, repeat clients, and referral-based bookings. Travel fees may apply for locations outside of the local area (this will always be discussed upfront). Payment plans are available for wedding and premium portrait sessions.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I started BlaqPearl Photography out of a passion for capturing real, meaningful moments—especially within my own family and community. What began as a hobby quickly grew into a purpose-driven business to help others preserve their most important memories.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I've worked with a wide range of clients—from families and high school seniors to engaged couples, expecting moms, professionals needing branding images, and models building their portfolios. Each session is tailored to reflect the client’s unique story.

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

2017 I worked with Yale School of Drama to highlight a program that had with the New Haven Public Schools. Teaching the kids everything drama. They started with the teachers and explained to them how to relate a particular play to the students. Then, they brought the students in to see that play and took them on a tour per se, to teach them what it takes to pull off an actual drama performance. My job was tell was to tell this story visually.

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

Look for a photographer whose style matches your vision, communicates clearly, and makes you feel comfortable. Great images come from a great connection between the client and the photographer.

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

Customers should consider their budget, preferred style, timeline, and what moments or details are most important for them to capture. Knowing these helps guide the conversation and ensure the best outcome.
