APPOINTMENTS
It is easiest to email me to request an appointment. To keep costs down for my customers, I have not hired an assistant to take calls or book my appointments. Therefore, it is difficult to reach me by phone!!!!!!!!
I schedule appointments Monday thru Friday from 9:00-2:00. I have these appointment times lined out to take full advantage of the natural light available both indoor and outdoor at my studio. I try not to schedule Saturday appointments because of other commitments and there will be a 25% rate increase if I am able to make the exception.
Many parents are concerned about taking their children out of school for a sitting. Ask your self, “Would you take your child out of school for a big audition?” Request a time that best works around their academic schedule during school.
A $75.00 Non-refundable booking fee payable by credit card is due at the time of booking your sitting (pay above once you have confirmed a date and time with me). I can waive this at my discretion. This booking fee will be applied to the total price of the sitting. It is best to email me with an appointment request rather than call. I rarely answer my phone or check my voicemail. I am much quicker at returning emails!!!
APPOINTMENTS/POLICIES & procedures
POLICIES & PROCEDURES
PAYMENT
Payment may be made by cash, check, credit card or debit card. PLEASE NOTE: If you want a stylist, you will book and pay him/her independent of me.
RESCHEDULING APPOINTMENT
You may not reschedule your sitting with less than 72 hours notice. If you reschedule in a timely manner, your $75.00 booking fee will carry over to the new sitting time. If you absolutely need to reschedule within the 72 hours before your sitting, you will be charged a $25.00 reschedule fee.
If you are a working model or actor, please make sure to let your agency know that you will not be available during the time of your sitting. If your agent calls you for a job and you cancel your appointment with me with less than 72 hours, the cancellation and reschedule policies will apply.
Accidents and illnesses happen. Although I understand this, it is hard to tell when someone really has a problem or is just trying to get out of their financial obligation. Cancellation and reschedule policies apply regardless of the situation or reason.
CANCELLATIONS
If you have to cancel your sitting without rescheduling, you will loose your $75.00 booking fee. If you cancel with less than 72 hours notice, you will be charged for the entire sitting ($280.00 for a headshot sitting and the rate booked for hourly sittings). This applies to a “NO SHOW” as well.
THE WEATHER
The only exception to the 72 hour rule is the weather. I use both natural and studio lighting for a sitting. I can still shoot at capacity on an overcast day. If it is raining hard, I will be the one to make the call on a cancellation and I will reschedule for the next available sitting.
LATE FEES
Please don’t be late for your sitting. I don’t like to be rushed and want to give you the most relaxed environment. If you are 15 minutes late or more, you will be charges a $25.00 late fee. If you are over 30 minutes late, you are considered a "NO SHOW". There is the address and map to my studio on the CONTACT link on this web site. Plan ahead on getting to the studio on time. If you are early and I am in the studio and not with a client, we can probably start a little early. If you come early and see that I am with another client, please WAIT until your time before coming in so that the other client does not feel rushed.
AFTER YOUR SITTING
Within (4) four business days of your sitting (M-F) your disk will be mailed to you.
(Headshots only) If represented, you will need to consult with your agent on photo selections and necessary cropping. If you choose to have me retouch and set-up a headshot, you will need to pay online for the services from the Headshot page. I will need notified by you of selection choice(s). Turn around is usually 3-5 business days.
RE-SHOOTS
If a re-shoot is required for technical reasons, there will be no charge. Re-shoots requested for any other reason will cost $2.00 per exposure (i.e. $100.00 for 50 exposures). Re-shoots will not include hair & make-up costs. All re-shoot requests must be made within 2 weeks of original shoot date. Re-shoots do not include a CD. One may be purchased for $25.00/25 exposure re-shoots.
