In a perfect world, we would have plenty of notice for planning and logistics. However, as long as I have a signed agreement and a 50% deposit, we can book a project shoot as soon as a week out.

Depending on its complexity, a commercial project can take 4-8 weeks from start to finish.

Here’s what you can expect:

Pre-production (1-3 weeks): We kick things off with a detailed discussion about your project goals. We’ll create a shot list, coordinate with all participants, and schedule the shoot. This phase is intensive but straightforward, laying the groundwork for success.

Shoot Date (1-2 weeks): With everything planned, we move quickly to capture your images. Scheduling the shoot as soon as possible after pre-production keeps the project fresh and maintains our momentum.

Post-production (2-3 weeks): You’ll receive initial edits within five business days after the shoot. Review these and provide feedback. Revisions will be completed within another five business days. We’ll keep refining until you’re 100% satisfied with the final images.

I'd like to point out timely communication is critical throughout this process. We’ll work closely with you to deliver your project images, ensuring they are perfect.

I included a broad usage license, allowing you to use the images for any purpose without any restrictions on how or where you use them. Showcase your projects however you choose without worrying about extra fees or limitations. The only condition is that you do not distribute or share the photos with others who haven’t obtained a license directly from me.

Cost sharing is an excellent option for splitting the cost of a photo shoot. Sharing production costs with other interested parties makes the shoot more affordable for everyone involved. I add a 30% cost-sharing fee for each additional party as a licensing fee for their use of the photos, ensuring everyone pays a fair share and gains access to professional photography without overspending.
