Q&A

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

Always ask me if you want a special deal! I'm pretty flexible and I sincerely want you to get the best photos in your life

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

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

Tell me everything you want so I can clearly understand how you see it, don't hesitate to be very wordy. Or tell me if you don't know where to start so I can collect examples and show you to set the right mood The more details I have and more honest you are - the better I stick to our plans and understand what and why to do

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

How should I prepare? What colors/outfits would work the best? What place/location to choose? Would you help me on stage? (spoiler: yes!)
