Q+A
Locations
__________________________________
A: As it pertains to Driving to Photography Locations,
we include how many locations in each menu package.
Q: “Does that mean you charge by location?”
A: No, We do not.
However, We DO charge for Gas/Distance ONLY
when of excess of 50+ Miles not included in a Menu Option.
Explained:
We charge travel fees to account for gas and other traveling fees.
So in our packages we include how many locations to avoid these fees for the best deal for clients.
We are able to add more locations to a package for a fee we discuss this fee pertaining to the location and situation,
we aim to charge just for the cost of what gas or fare would be in each situation.
Usually this would be what a deposit is used for and also can go toward the sessions costs.
We do not charge for “locations” if it is a walking distance from the original location.
For example if we are in a park or a space that has many backgrounds/ or backdrops.
We will not charge for a different backdrop or background location.
We will charge for extended distances only when it is great distance available by plane if not priorly discussed or negotiated.
Charge by the Minutes?
__________________________________
Q: “Do you charge by the minute or hour? How does your pricing work?”
A: No. We do not charge by the minute/hour in our menu packages.
BUT we are open to discuss a hourly rate for our services if need be.
Explained:
We can charge $350 as a Hourly rate.
when a Menu Package is NOT included with your booking.
If we have additional costs for travel, rental of props, backdrops or venue/location entry

__________________________________
In the Photography industry even though we do photograph you, your family or special moments. Since we are photographing the image, we are providing a service. In doing so we charge for that service so we retain the rights to the images as the creator operating the needed equipment.
As a result of being the creator we retain the rights for Print Release we give you back partial-personal ownership for non-commercial usage (excluding business headshots) with these rights you are able to use and share the image as you please as the images ownership has been partially “released” back to you excluding any paid usage for commercial, competitive or otherwise credit as it pertains to you as the creator of the image.
Q: “Does this mean you own my photos? What does this mean?”
A: Yes, in part…
Explained:
We definitely don’t want to “own”or seek to distribute your personal photos or personal image(s).
However to prevent others from stealing, misusing your personal OR professional image(s), referred to as “our collaborative work” we must have partial ownership of the image as the person who create the image(s) to protect the image(s).
We do this for many reasons one is to ensure we are paid for our work and given credit when it is being commercially or otherwise showcased and among other reasons is to make sure the images are not stolen and we can be given proper credit and payment for our services. If they are ever taken and used publicly to promote anything or to be used creatively outside of the parties involved approval pertaining to who created or collaborated on the image. For example if a image is used commercially/marketing, competitively or on other “creative projects” that are for profit and do not give proper credit or payment to the creator(s) or model(s),
this is to ensure protection for us as well as you.
In this digital age… Images and Content can be stolen or improperly used.
Having rights and/or ownership prevents this from happening for all parties involved.
