Styling is an important part of the experience with your photographer. You will get a preparation sheet from me and the styling is also discussed during your consultation. Always wear clothing that you are comfortable with and fits properly. Avoid graphics and logo that will attract attention.

Makeup is an add-on to your session. It is not mandatory, but recommended. Makeup add-on is part of the luxurious experience, but it also ensures the skin tone is evened out and blemishes are covered so retouching is kept to a minimum. The makeup artist I use is local and incredibly talented. A proper makeup application cuts down on retouching time. It is also a nice and relaxing experience where we bond before the session.

It all depends on the type of project and how far you are willing to travel. Gale will travel to a location close to you or recommend one of her favorite spot.

The client and photographer is an important relationship. As a photographer, I need to know what type of project you have in mind and what you need from me. The better the relationship, the better the photos. The consultation (by phone or in-person) is the first step to know each other better.

As a client, it is responsible to work within a budget. When you know your budget, you are able to pick a photographer within your budget. My retainer starts at $290 and the images and printed products are sold separately. My portrait packages start at $1200. When you buy a printed product, you get the matching digital image with it. I offer payment plans to allow you to pay in smaller increments.

The retainer is not refundable - it is used to pay for the expenses related to the planning of your photoshoot.

Yes, I can work with you to come up with a payment plan.

If you pre-pay your sitting fee and a package, I can shoot with the package in mind. You also get a 5% discount instantly when you pre-pay.

Being a full-service photographer means that I plan and photograph your shoot. You will have the option to purchase digital images or printed products. After the shoot, I am helping you make the right choice for you. I create the printed products and deliver or mail them to you.
