That of course depends on type of the photoshoot. If it is time-sensitive like proposal, wedding anniversary, birthday, family reunion etc. it's best to book as soon as you thought "Would be nice to have pictures of that good time". Usually it's at least a month ahead.
However if your dates are flexible or if your wish for a photoshoot is impulsive, message me even if you want it done tomorrow. I did several photoshoot that were planned less than in 12 hours! And they turned out great.
I usually don't give these out because it's only half-done job. If you really-really need these you need to warn me while booking your session so I remember not to discard them. It will cost 50% of the package you choose.
Note that it it won't be more pictures or something. I send all the pictures except for a few flawed ones (like if someone blinked or the focus is misplaced). You just get the same pictures unedited in .ARW format.
My price list is stated assuming the discount that I give you for permission to post my photos of you. The full one is twice higher and of course includes your privacy for any reason that you don't have to explain. While booking a photoshoot I expect you to warn me that this photoshoot will be private.
I will not store any of your pictures after sending them to you.
For an extra layer of security you can pre-pay an SD memory card that I will take out of my camera and give to you after the photoshoot. This way I will have no copies of your photoshoot at all, but you will have to edit images and/or videos yourself.
Important note: sometimes my customers lose their pictures and can only restore them with my help because I keep all my work secure on a hard drive. Private photoshoots will not have this option and the full responsibility of storing your photos will be on you.
PayPal, Venmo or Zelle usually suffice for placing a booking deposit. The rest can be paid in cash or same as the deposit.
If none of these work for you, we will figure something out.
No, there shouldn't be any "supposed" in any kind of tipping. Most people don't do that and I am absolutely okay with that. There is no obligations or expectations but if you decide to tip it will be greatly appreciated.
Because there is no standard tipping etiquette in photography business there is no "appropriate" amounts. Use your best judgment but never feel like you have to tip anyone in any industry. Not everyone is in a position to tip so it should never be expected.
