Frequently Asked Questions
Brand FAQ
How much does a commercial/brand shoot cost?
No two photoshoots are ever the same. Pricing is based on the scope of your shoot, production needs, deliverables, and licensing. After our discovery call, you'll receive a custom proposal tailored to your project.
What's included in a commercial shoot?
Every project is customized to your brand's needs, but the process typically includes creative planning, production, photography, professional retouching, and final image delivery. Additional production support, such as casting, hair and makeup, styling, or location sourcing, can also be incorporated depending on the project.
Do you help with creative direction and planning?
Yes! Creative direction is a core part of my process. I help guide everything from concept and mood development to shoot execution.
Can you help source models, HMUA, locations, or props?
Definitely! I can coordinate trusted creatives and production resources, including models, hair and makeup artists, stylists, studios, and locations based on the needs of your project.
How many images will I receive?
Final deliverables vary depending on the scope of the project. Campaign, lifestyle, and e-commerce shoots typically result in a larger selection of images, while product-focused shoots are more curated due to the precision and detail required. Every project is different, so final deliverables are always outlined in your proposal before booking.
How long does it take to receive final images?
Most galleries are delivered within 2-3 weeks after the shoot. Turnaround time depends on the project and complexity of concept.
How does licensing work?
Commercial photography is licensed based on how the images will be used. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, every project includes a usage license that's customized to your intended use. This ensures you're only paying for the rights your brand actually needs. We'll discuss your needs during the proposal process and outline everything before the project begins.
Can I expand my licensing later?
Absolutely. If your needs change after the project, such as expanding into paid advertising, extending the licensing term, or using the images in additional markets, you can purchase expanded usage rights at any time.
Model FAQ
Which session is right for me?
All sessions are built around a creative shoot focused on strengthening your portfolio. From there, you can choose to add digitals if you also need clean, agency-ready images for castings and submissions.
Can I book digitals without a creative shoot?
At this time, I do not offer digitals as a single service. You can either attend a Digitals Event or add-on digitals to a creative shoot.
Do I need modeling experience?
Nope! If you don't have any experience in modeling, you can still book a session with me. I will help you plan a concept based on what industry you want to be in. On the day of the shoot, I will help guide and pose you so you can learn how to do it on your own.
Can I use these images to apply to agencies?
Definitely! Any images you receive from a creative shoot (+digitals) can be used to submit to agencies and castings. My shoots are designed to create images that are up to agency standards. However, I am not the agency, so I can't guarantee signings from any of them.
How many images will I receive?
Every creative shoot receives back 20 images. If you add-on digitals, you will also receive 8 digitals.
For events, you receive 6-7 images with your booking and the option to purchase more later.
How long does it take to receive final images?
Most galleries are delivered within 1-2 days after the shoot. Turnaround time depends on the project and complexity of concept.
What's the difference between a Creative Shoot and an Editorial Event?
Creative Shoots are 1:1 sessions built entirely around you and your portfolio goals. With more time on set, we’re able to explore direction, movement, and variation, which usually results in a wider set of final images.
Events are shorter, concept-driven sessions where everything is pre-planned by me. You’re still fully guided throughout the shoot, the only difference is simply the pace and structure.
How often do you host events?
There is no set schedule with my events. They are solely based off of my availability. However, I aim to host my Digitals Event every other month. Editorial Events are less frequent since they require more production. You can join the waitlist here to be notified of my next event!
Do you offer trades or collaboration work?
I do not offer any trades, collaboration work, or free shoots. Please refer here for my starting prices.
What is the Model Catalog?
The Model Catalog is a curated talent directory available for commercial and creative projects. Brands can browse model profiles to find the right talent best suited for their shoots.
