Perfection = procrastination. And you don't have to be perfect. Our collaboration session will help you prepare for whatever you need, as well as help us make a shot list for your session so you know what to bring. Celebrate who you are now, and we can then celebrate who you grow into at a later date, also.

What if I don't feel ready?

1.5-2.5 hours seems like a long time, but we factor in the multiple outfit changes, potential a couple different locations or set ups, and we want to allow time to get some behind the scenes, some flat lays or detail shots, some lifestyle shots of you, and so on.. Time really does fly. If you want an extended session, we will pro-rate you per hour.

Why are sessions so long?

A $500 deposit along with a signed contract is due to get your session booked. The remainder is due no later than 3 weeks before your session date.  I accept cash, checks, ACH paid online through your invoice or Venmo @janamarieco.

Is there a deposit & how do I pay?

What others have wondered

Of course. Many time's companies will need models to really show their services or amenities. We are connected with a local modeling agency and can help gather the best type of people to represent your brand, or you may hire them on your own. We really encourage using models since they feel most comfortable in front of the camera and are prepared to excel in anything we suggest. They will need to sign a model release.

Can I bring in models?

Yes! Visual identity is HUGE in business. The way you're visually communicating & connecting with your clients will really sell, or not. The quality of your photography, branding & marketing is one of the most important things you can excel in. So if you want to look like a more high end pro from the start, I recommend diving in and getting professional brand photos and videos asap.

I'm a new business? Do I need pro photos now?

Is the Pope Catholic? Of course you get to use them across the board for your business needs: social, website, email blasts etc. If you end up running them in print, please credit us. If you need them for something like a billboard or much larger marketing piece, please reach out so we can approve and discuss if compensation is needed.

Do I get to use these for my business and website?

Faq

Yes. This package includes up to 5 people, but if you have a larger company needing group shots or head shots of the sorts, please don't hesitate to ask. We'll accommodate larger parties and projects most definitely if it is within our brand style.

Do you have limits for the amount of people you'll document?

Great question. Absolutely!  We will still do our shot list with you and collaborate so that we know exactly what you're needing and then when we get your supplies, we will rock it for you. Shipping will be paid for both ways by you, the client.

Can I just drop products off or ship to you to photograph them?

We edit ALL of your photos and/or videos and retouch 5 favorite photos complimentary. This includes the basics: cropping, straightening, lightening, etc. Retouching is more intensive (smoothing skin, removing hairs, swapping eyes etc) and cost $20/image. We do our best to insure things are being photographed correctly in camera and we have a great love and attention for detail but are also not held accountable for every piece of lint, jewelry being perfect etc. If your session is strictly product based where macro detail is important, then let's discuss. We do these a bit differently.

Are images and videos edited and/or retouched?
