Frequently Asked Questions
-
Everything from clean, ecomm-ready images to more creative, campaign-style work.
Most clients come to me for a mix:
– simple, high-converting product shots (white or neutral backgrounds)
– depth shots with natural shadows and dimension
– creative setups with color, texture, or props
– detail and macro moments
– short motion clips for web or socialIf you’re not totally sure what you need yet, that’s part of what I help guide.
-
Yes, and most brands need this more than they think.
You can come in with a full vision, a Pinterest board, or nothing at all. I’ll help shape the direction so your images feel cohesive, on-brand, and actually useful across your site and marketing.
If there’s no formal brief, I shoot in the style of the studio and what I know works.
-
I’m based in Texas, but most clients are not.
This is a mail-in studio. You ship your products, I handle everything here, and your final images are delivered digitally. No need to travel or be on set.
-
Proof galleries are typically ready within about 5 business days of your product arriving.
Once you’ve selected your favorites, final edited images are delivered within 3 business days.
Most projects are wrapped within 1–2 weeks depending on selection timing.
-
You’ll receive a curated proof gallery where you can “favorite” your selections.
Once you’ve made your picks, I complete the final edits and deliver your finished images. If you want more than what’s included, you can always add on at that stage.
-
Yes. A lot of clients do.
You’ll see what’s working, what you love, and what you wish you had more of. You can add additional images or motion clips before final delivery.
-
Yes, but in a simple, usable way.
Think short clips, subtle movement, pours, rotations… things you can actually use on your website and social. This isn’t full commercial production, but it’s more than just stills.
-
Yes.
Clean background images are delivered with ecomm in mind, including proper spacing, clarity, and consistency across products.
If you have specific requirements, just let me know ahead of time.
-
You’re not just getting images. You’re getting someone who’s thinking about how your brand shows up.
I keep things simple, but the work itself is thoughtful. You don’t need a big agency budget or a complicated process to get strong, intentional visuals.
-
By default, products are donated or discarded.
If you’d like them returned, just let me know and you can send a prepaid label, or I can invoice return shipping.
-
Each product includes a set number of final images depending on what you book.
Most clients land around 5–7 strong, usable images per product, with the option to add more.
-
No.
I keep styling minimal and clean by default. If your brand needs something specific, you can absolutely send props or request a certain direction.
-
If something feels off, we’ll talk through it.
Reshoots are offered at a reduced rate, but the goal is to get it right from the start with clear direction and expectations.
-
Pricing is listed clearly on the site, with options depending on how much content you need.
Most clients are investing in a small batch of products to start, then coming back for more once they see how the images perform.
-
Yes, but only for brands I’ve already worked with.
If it’s a good fit, I offer a limited number of monthly spots for consistent content.
-
A short questionnaire, your products, and any inspiration or direction you have.
That’s it. I keep this process intentionally simple.
-
A couple of weeks is usually safe.
If you have a launch date or deadline, reach out early so I can make sure timing works.
