Frequently asked questions.
I’m not local to Columbus. Do you travel?
Yes! I will travel to wherever you may be in the world.
What can I use my images for?
Literally anything you want. With every photoshoot, your contract comes with a commercial license so that you own the photos and can use them for all your business branding needs. Your website, your social media profiles and content, your marketing materials, head-shots for speaking gigs or interviews…whatever you may need them for.
How many images do I get?
Each package is a different length of time together, so the more time we have together the more images you get. The amount of photos you need are taken into account with your proposal.
What’s included in my photography package?
My mission is to make sure that not only do you end up with high-quality images that you’re proud to share, but that you have a great time while creating them together. All packages include a pre-session strategy call to help plan your vision for your images, the commercial license to all of your images as well as a digital gallery to make your selection and download process easy and seamless. All options come with professional makeup & hair included. And don’t forget we get lunch together that day too!
I’m really uncomfortable being in front of a camera. I don’t feel ready to invest in photos right now.
I completely understand. This is one of the biggest worries I hear from my clients. Here’s the deal…unless you’re an experienced model, it is always a learning curve to get comfortable in front of the camera. That’s why it’s my job to make sure you feel great and have a good time so my lens picks up your true, radiant self. You don’t need to lose a single pound. You don’t need to wait until you have more confidence. You don’t need to reach a certain level of success before you “deserve” high-quality photos. You just need to believe in yourself and me. You do deserve this, just as you are.
Why should I invest in branding photos? The camera on my phone is already pretty awesome.
I agree that cell phone cameras these days are pretty amazing. But here’s what a selfie can’t do for you: it can’t direct you to your best angle. It can’t make you laugh so it can capture your best authentic smile. It doesn’t have the ability to move you to better light when shadows are getting in the way of showcasing your glorious skin. And it definitely won’t edit your photos to perfection after you’re done. The truth is that having the eye and high-quality camera of a professional is going to outdo even the best camera phones. Your confidence in creating content and up-leveling your visibility online will skyrocket with professional images in a way that selfies can’t replicate.
What do I wear for my photoshoot with you?
Whatever you want! I’ve had clients take photos in tutus, leather jackets, jeans, lingerie, dresses, suits, and even tiaras. I’ve even had woo clients get naked to create the photos they really want. The goal is to showcase your authentic personality and everything that makes you and your business unique. Wear what makes you feel confident, sexy, powerful, or whatever other way you want to feel.
What are “brand photos” anyway?
Brand photography is a very specific style of photography. As opposed to family portraits, wedding photography, action or fashion shots, brand photography is about bringing out the personality and natural beauty of the subject (you!) in a way that articulates and elevates your business’ brand. Your brand needs to be as iconic and unique as you. So the gallery of photos we create together is meant to reflect that consistency and energy that are reflective of the true you.
I just need a few head-shots. Do you do that?
Every so often I open up a day for ladies to sign up for a 30-minute photoshoot to get a handful of headshots. But if you’re looking for a true upgrade and professional boost for your business, I highly recommend signing up for a formal package because more images will give you more options and variety than a simple headshot session. If you want to be notified the next time I offer headshots, sign up for my email list and grab this free photoshoot prep bundle while you do!
