FAQs
I would recommend booking 1-2 weeks in advance during winter/spring months and 2-3 weeks for summer/fall months. Please note that there are no deposit refunds for cancellations within 12 hours of the scheduled appointment.
After meeting I will provide a brief via text or email outlining the details of the shoot and any specific items or wardrobe that may be needed, as well as checklist for the client within 24 hours of the shoot.
The editing process can take between 5-7 business days depending on the number of photos the client & I select at the end of the session.
Standard editing includes color correction, basic retouching (skin smoothing, blemish removal), and enhancing overall image quality. Extensive retouching may be subject to additional charges.
It depends of the scope of the project and client's needs.
Logo designs go through four phases:
1. Initial concept & sketching
2. Digitize, Color, and Type
3. Feedback and Revisions
4. Finalize and Deliver
This process can take between 5-7 business days. It's important to note that timely client feedback is crucial in a speedy delivery for final work.
Absolutely! My brand identity packages features a logo design, color scheme, & typography. This kit also may include stationary designs for business cards, letterheads and more.
I typically provide 2-3 initial logo concepts, and most packages include 2-3 rounds of revisions. Additional revisions can be accommodated for an extra fee.
I’ll need details about your brand, your target audience, color preferences, any existing branding, and examples of logos or styles you like.
