As each brand has different needs, we create custom quotes for each individual project, which allows us the flexibility to create exactly what your brand needs. Packages are inclusive of everything from shoot planning and photography to styling and editing. If any special props (fresh florals, fruit, custom backdrops, set pieces or specific props that we don't have in studio) and/or pre-production time is needed to execute your shoot, there may be additional fees. Packages typically start at $2,000.
- How many images are we creating?
- What type of content is needed? (stills/animations/video)
- What does the timeline look like?
- Are we working from a client-provided brief or are we collaborating to design the concepts?
- How much pre-production time will be needed in preparation for the shoot?
- Does the project require unique set builds or custom props?
- Will we need to source props to execute the concepts or are we pulling from our in-house collection?
- How many scenes will we be shooting?
- Are the scenes minimal or will heavy set styling be required?
- How many days will we require on set for photography?
- How much editing time is needed to perfect the final assets?
- How will the assets be used?
Our turnaround time for most projects is 4-6 weeks from initial booking to image delivery, depending on the scope of the shoot. Assets are typically delivered within two weeks of your scheduled shoot date. If you have a fast-approaching deadline or require delivery within a specific timeframe, we can quote a fee to expedite your shoot pending creator availability. The same applies to expedited post-production, should you require your assets prior to the scheduled delivery date (typically two weeks from shoot date).
We do! Our monthly content subscription packages are a great choice for brands who want to keep their social media feed cohesive over time. Let us prepare your social media content each month, allowing you to focus more of your time on your business. Our retainer clients enjoy a 25% discount off of all project fees. Limited spots available and a minimum commitment of three months is required.
We do not offer discounts on projects, however, we do offer a delicious 25% discount on the project fees for our monthly retainer clients with a 3-month commitment. We also donate one commercial shoot per year to a POC, female-owned business.
When hiring a commercial photographer, you are paying for the labor required to create the work, however the value of commercial imagery goes way beyond the time it takes to create it. As the original creators, we retain ownership of the images that we create. As the owner, we license the image for use for a specific purpose and duration.
Our standard one-year licensing package for the client's owned website and organic social media is built into every quote. Additional usage may be purchased for other commercial needs including social media ads, print, television or third party distribution. We also offer discounted licensing rates for bulk asset usage packages and can create a custom usage quote based on your specific needs. Licensing may be determined in the initial quote or at any point after your assets have been delivered.
We know that the price tag for commercial photography can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming. There are many unseen hours of work that take place behind the scenes to create the beautiful, finished imagery that you receive from a project. We're always happy to work with you to create a budget that feels comfortable and will fully itemize how your investment is being spent in detail. Please note that we are entirely sympathetic to being a small business with a budget - we're right there with you! Know that we take your investment seriously and strive to provide assets that are can be utilized over and over again across various platforms.
