LET'S HEAR MORE ABOUT YOUR PROJECT
Each project is unique — from location to shoot requirements. Once I learn more about your needs I will provide a detailed proposal for review, which includes a preliminary shot list and timeline, depending on the type of project. Please use this form to get the conversation started... I look forward to collaborating with you!

common faq's
Do you travel for shoots?
Absolutely. Depending on where the shoot is located, I will provide a scope of work which details travel expenses (such as air fare, hotel, car rental, per diem, gear rental) for myself and/or my team.
Do you work with a team?
I love working collaboratively with a team, and can absolutely build one out for your project — including set design, prop stylists, creative directors, project managers, HMU, catering — you name it! I also have a core crew of people I love to work with and am happy to send you their portfolios and résumés for consideration.
Do you have a 1/2 day rate?
I find that most of my work scales to a full day. For example, an interior shoot is no longer than 10 hours which includes load-in, set up and striking set.
Do you include post-processing and/or licensing?
Depending on the type of project I will either incorporate licensing within my Creative Fee or I will separate it out based on your particular usage requirements. My interior day rate includes licensing of the images to the Client; third party licensing is available and will be negotiated separately. Post-processing (color & toning, HDR, file clean up, object removal) is key to my work and is a separate line item on the estimate I provide; sometimes I will send work out to a professional retoucher if need be.
What gear do you bring to a shoot?
I currently work with a Sony camera body + native Sony or Canon prime lenses and Profoto lighting. Every camera and lens I bring has a back up to it. If the job is local, I will rent all my professional cameras and lighting from Capture Integration and grip from PPR.
How long does it take to receive the work?
Typically I schedule shoots so that you will receive your password-protected gallery no later than 3 weeks post shoot. I make sure to discuss your deadline ahead of time so we keep to the turn-around time you need.
