FAQ's
What are your limits for photoshoots regarding posing style?
I'm passionate about creating artistic, emotive, and evocative imagery. Please use my portfolio as a guide to my comfort limits. I retain the right to turn down concepts that I deem to be too explicit, provocative, tacky, cheesy, degrading, or silly. If you require further clarification of my boundaries, please feel free to ask.
Can you do your own hair/makeup/provide wardrobe?
I prefer to have a professional makeup/hair artist on set as it reduces stress and anxiety for achieving the desired look. However, I always arrive at shoots with basic hair/makeup ready and come prepared to build on top of basic makeup/hair. If you would like to use your own HMUA it generally is included in booking time unless otherwise discussed. Regarding wardrobe, I have access to a lot of wardrobe and prop options. Requests will need to be discussed before the shoot day in order to pull props and wardrobe from my inventory.
Can we talk/organize the shoot by phone call, not by email?
My preferred means of communication for project specifics is email so that I can refer to the requirements and specifications of the shoot as needed. In instances where there is a verbal conversation, an email should confirm the agreed-upon outcome of that conversation.
Will you do a discounted rate for multi-day bookings?
I am happy to discussed rate discounts for the right projects.
When does the booking time start and finish?
I am often on a predetermined schedule so the clock must start and end at the agreed time (eg: if we scheduled a 2-hour shoot starting at 10 am, we must be wrapped by 12 pm). The booking time includes wardrobe, makeup changes, bathroom breaks, discussions of ideas during the shoot, lighting adjustments, water/food breaks, etc.
Do you charge travel time?
Travel time up to 30 miles in the Los Angeles area is included in my rate. 30 - 100 miles is billed at a rate of $0.55/per mile. For in-state, domestic, and international travel rates, please see "Travel" under Booking Policy.
Do you do sunrise shoots?
Yes, I will do sunrise shoots. Sunrise shoots require a surcharge of $100 for any booking commencing before 7 am due to middle-of-the-night wake and prep time.
Will you shoot in public places?
I will shoot fully clothed fashion, commercials, sports, beauty, and lifestyle in public places. In certain scenarios, I will shoot swimwear and lingerie in public spaces. However, all nude shoots must be on private property or have a reasonable expectation of privacy (i.e. not a popular spot for children or families, dog-walker, jogger, or regular pedestrians) unless explicitly discussed and agreed upon.
Will you do video work as part of our shoot?
I only shoot a video for Commercial releases in which I have different rates for video depending on the project. If you are in need of a video, please discuss this at the time of booking. My standard release does not include video.
What if I chose to finish early?
If you choose to end our shoot early, my fee will not be prorated
Can I bring a second photographer or an assistant or crew?
I do not offer “group shoots” and have additional rates for extra shooters (see Rates). I also have a strict policy of only one person shooting at a time. In regards to crew and assistants, I must be informed prior to the shoot of any additional people who will be on set or if you wish to bring an assistant on location.
Can you get your hair wet during the shoot?
Generally speaking, yes. In most cases, the shot list should be organized so that the "wet hair" look in the last shot or have other arrangements which do not require dry hair.
Can you straighten your hair during the shoot?
If the shoot is a half-day or full-day booking, my hair can be straightened on set. If you'd like me to arrive with my hair straight, that can be arranged as long as it is discussed at the time the booking is confirmed.
Can you put product/substance XYZ on your skin during the shoot?
If you want me to be covered in any product such as baby oil, mud, or paint. It must be discussed prior to the shoot and there must be facilities available to clean up, and sufficient time to do so must be allotted (within my billable hours).
Will you pose in really hot or really cold conditions?
Yes, and there is a surcharge for weather under 60 degrees and over 90 degrees.
If you want me to pose in full direct sunlight (aka midday beach shoot in Summer), you must be ok with sunscreen being applied to my skin. The sunscreen I use is one of the best on the market and does not leave a white cast. If shooting nude, temperatures must be warmer than 60 degrees or there is a surcharge.
Will you pose with another model?
For Commercial, fashion, beauty, fitness, and lifestyle, I'm always open to shooting with other models. For nudes, it is on a project-by-project basis.
Can you share our photos on Instagram/social media to promote me?
Yes, I always post my favorite shots from shoots and tag everyone who was involved in that shoot as well as related accounts for promotional and marketing purposes on the platform. If you’d like to share final images from our session with me I’m happy to share those images that fit with the aesthetic/branding of my social media.
Will you shoot for adult websites/“pay sites”?
No, I do not sign releases allowing the use of my work on Adult/Pornographic/“Paysites”
Do I have to give you photos after our shoot?
Yes, I do expect to receive images from the shoot and the requirement is included in the booking agreement associated with booking me for a shoot.
