Ready to work together but not sure where to begin? I’ve got ya.
I’ve created this little onboarding doc just for you.
My goal is simple: To help people create an emotional connection to your brand.
This guide breaks down how I work—step by step—so you know exactly what to expect.
We’ll kick things off with a call where you can share what you’re dreaming up—maybe it’s a new campaign, fresh content for your site or socials. I’ll ask a few easy questions to get a feel for your vibe, and what success looks like for you.
The more I understand your voice and message, the more intentional and on-brand the imagery will be.

2. Creative Direction & Inspiration
Once I get the vision, I’ll put together a light creative plan—this could be a moodboard, sample references, or a rough outline of the look and feel. It’s a collaborative step to make sure we’re aligned before we dive in.
This is where the planning pays off. Shoot days are playful, collaborative, and genuinely rewarding.
I’ll guide the flow, handle the details, and make sure we’re capturing everything we need—plus a few unexpected gems.
3. Shoot Day
4. Post-Production
After the shoot, I narrow down an initial round of selects. You’ll get a gallery to review and choose your favorites for retouching.
Once I have your picks, I’ll retouch and deliver final images.
And don’t worry if you misplace a file. I archive all projects for 5 years.
Need it faster or want extra revisions? No problem—those can always be added on.
My Rates
Every project fee is built on three parts:
Artist Fee + Project Expenses + Licensing
Whether it’s a one-time shoot or an ongoing partnership, we’ll find the setup that works best for you.
Artist Fee
This covers everything around my time and creative work—pre-production (planning), production (shoot day), and post-production (editing, delivery, and project care).
| Tier | Monthly Rate | What’s Included | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lite | $700 | 1 shoot day per 2 months | Short notice seasonal needs |
| Standard | $1,000 | 1 monthly shoot day | Brands needing regular content |
| Plus | $1,400 | 2 shoot days / month | High-volume or fast-moving teams |
| Premier | $2,000 | 4 shoot days per month | Multi-team or evolving campaigns |
Option 1: Day rate - $2500
Perfect for one-off shoots. This rate includes my time and expertise on a single day project.
Option 2: Retainer – Long-term creative partnership
The easiest (and most cost-effective) way to work together.
Retainers give you priority access, consistent output, and a creative partner who already knows your brand.
All retainers are billed in 6-month blocks and tailored to how often you need content—whether that’s monthly or every other week.
Project expenses
Every image I create is licensed—not sold—which means you’re paying for the rights to use them in specific ways.
The standard included license covers things like web, email, and organic social. If you need broader usage—like paid ads, print, packaging, or out-of-home—we can scale the license to fit.
Licensing costs depend on how and where the images will be used. For example, using a photo in an Instagram post is very different from running it on a billboard in Times Square.
You’ll always get a clear breakdown up front, tailored to your needs.
Licensing
Project expenses cover any out-of-pocket costs needed to bring the shoot to life—things like location rentals, gear, travel, props, styling, or assistants.
I keep this lean and transparent, and you’ll always know what’s being covered ahead of time. These vary depending on the scope of the shoot, but nothing gets greenlit without your approval first.
