Pricing
Inquiries must be made through my website’s Contact section.
Prices are non-negotiable. Trades are not accepted.
Clients must sign a release form upon completion of the photo shoot.
Prices for specific services are listed below.
Time for editing: $40/hour (up to the discretion of the photographer)
Taxes: A 7.0% North Carolina tax fee will be added to all invoices. Additional taxes will be included for out-of-state or country work.
Travel: For sites that are greater than 10 miles from the photographer’s residence, there will be a gas fee for travel ($1.50/mile, or flat rate of $20 if in the Triangle region of NC). Budget for transportation to the location of the shoot is included in the invoice. If the location changes, the invoice will be updated and the revised budget (for distances greater than 10 miles) must be agreed upon before the shoot commences.
For example, if the location is 15 miles away from where the photographer resides, the client(s) will be charged for 5 additional miles of transportation. If the original location was 12 miles away and is now 15 miles away, the additional 3 miles will be included in a new invoice.
