The session fee is non-refundable and due at the time of booking any session. It is valid for 3 months from the payment date.

Hair and makeup fees depend on the hairstylist and makeup artist. You can use your own or I can book one for you.  If you book your own, please make sure they have experience working with photographers.  

It depends on how many looks we end up doing, whether MUAH is part of the session and the location commute. In general, I block half a day for my test shoots. If more time is necessary, we will gauge it on the go.

I understand things happen and rescheduling is necessary.  I do ask that as soon as you know you can't make it please contact me. I certainly appreciate 12-24 hours prior notice.  If you're running fashionably late, no biggie. But, if you are more than 20 minutes late, please beware that your photo shoot will be shorter than originally scheduled. No-shows are no-shows. No rescheduling is granted.  You would have to rebook again.  

The creative brief is a dynamic document that includes the vision I have for your test shoot.  It will include the call sheet/card, the team involved, inspirational poses, your mood board for each look, the lighting treatment, and more. A sample is below.

You will have a proofing gallery link sent to you to pick your favorite photos within 3 weeks.  If your agency has asked to see them, they will get the link as well.  Once you make your selections, I will proceed with the retouching and final delivery.  The turnaround from proofing to final delivery is about 4-5 weeks.  

I strive to provide the highest quality images to all my clients, which is why I deliver fully edited and retouched photos only. This ensures that every photo meets my professional standards and showcases you in the best possible light.

There is a $195 fee for expedited images that need to be delivered within a shorter period of time than the established 3 weeks for the standard delivery of images.

Yes. For sessions involving multiple locations, travel and setup time are included in the total session duration. To maximize photography time, I recommend choosing locations close to one another, ideally within a five-mile radius of BAEM Studios in Tysons, VA.
