Some of my most common questions as a Photographer near Orlando FL

Clients often have a range of questions when considering hiring a portrait photographer. Here are some common inquiries that clients may ask:

1. What is your photography style?
   • I’m a photographer that will make sure you get some posed shots, mixed with candid moments. I love adding in movement and I edit my images in a brighter way. I lean into that colorful backdrops and editing style. So think Bright and vivid photos that are timeless.
2. What does your pricing include?
   • For weddings I shoot an hourly rate, and if needing to travel there is a two night hotel stay, rental car (if needed) and any other travel fees if applicable. I quote you and build it into your quoted price. They include all your edited images from your wedding day, as high res files with the printing rights. You can see some packages online here.
   • For Portraits you can view all my rates online. I have 3 packages to choose from which include a set number of images which are your choice.
   • For Branding session you can view my rates online here.
3. Do you offer packages or customizable options?
   • For my portraits my packages are online. For wedding I have a few packages online but I can can tailor the services to meet your specific needs, such as additional hours, prints, or digital files.
4. How far in advance should we book our session?
   • I typically can try and squeeze you in but for the best openings I suggest booking your portrait sessions at least a two months out. (And earlier for Oct-Dec bookings as those dates start going early). For wedding please book me right after you officially book your wedding venue.
5. What locations do you recommend for the shoot?
   • I have a ton of favorite locations. I even made a google map with some images too. Check this location guide out. But here’s my TOP FAVORITE SPOTS, that I would have my photos taken at:
   • BOK TOWER Gardens
   • Lake Louisa State Park
   • Rollins College
   • Boxi Park in Lake Nona
   • Kelly Rock Springs State Park (But only in the winter months and not around holidays)
   • Any of our FL beaches
   • Celebration, FL
   • Johns Lake Conservation Center
6. How long will the session last?
   • My Minis last 15-20 minutes, Values are up to an hour, and Moderate are up to two hours. I also don’t mind going over if needed. I would never stop a session just because we hit the hour mark if you are in need of more time unless I have back to back sessions.
7. Can we include specific poses or props?
   • You certainly can. If you have a Pinterest board or anything else please share away. These are your images and I would love to capture what you would love to have photographed.
8. What is the turnaround time for receiving the final photos?
   • For Portraits I’m around 2-3 weeks and about 3-4 weeks for wedding to receive all your edited photos
9. Can we review a portfolio or see sample galleries?
   • Of course you can see my portrait gallery online as well as my weddings. I can also send you email links to some other galleries as well via email. Just message me to let me know.
10. Do you provide retouching or editing services?
    • I include a basic level of retouching/editing included in the photography services, If you have any requests for other images just let me know and I can send you a rate for those If they go beyond my traditional editing. I do edit out exit signs, and other things like that, as well as photoshopping heads as well if needed.
11. What happens if the weather is bad on the scheduled day?
    • If you can not change locations I would suggest us moving to a nice indoor location. Did you know the Gaylord Palms resort is an atrium? There is a parking fee. But it is such a great option. If you are able to move the date we will work together to choose a new date. Also being FL sometimes we can wait it out or move the session up or back.
12. Are there additional costs for travel or location changes?
    • I typically start a travel fee after 1 hour drive from 33896 and there are beach travel fees as well. ($75-$25) to cover the time/gas/tolls/parking fees
