Most of the time, no. I only release RAW images on a case-by-case basis, usually when a client needs them for their own final retouching.

In most cases, you don’t. Every image you see posted or published by me is delivered as a JPEG. There’s a popular misconception that RAW files are a higher-quality or more polished version of an image. In reality, RAW files are unprocessed and are intended for editing. They contain extra image data that helps with adjustments like exposure and color grading. Unless you're doing your own editing, JPEGs are all you need. My final images already reflect my creative style, including color grading, aspect ratio, masking, and the full look I intended for your brand.

This depends on your brand's needs, your budget, and how much content you want to walk away with.

Typical delivery ranges include:

• 20 to 30 photos for standard sessions

• 60 photos for extended shoots

• 90 to 100 for campaign-style or high-volume shoots
  

Special requests are always welcome and I’ll make sure you get a folder full of variety.

I don’t currently offer a paid ad service. However, I make sure all of the photo and video content I deliver is optimized for your Ads Manager and graphic designer to plug directly into your campaigns.

If you’re looking for help with running ads, I can refer you to a trusted and well-known marketing team that can take care of it for you.

Nope. All the music I use is fully licensed for commercial use through Epidemic Sound. That means you won’t have to worry about your video being flagged, muted, removed, or demonetized on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.

You can explore the music library at epidemicsound.com if you’re curious about the types of tracks I have access to.

I mainly use the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite which includes:

• Lightroom Classic

• Photoshop

• Premiere Pro CC

I also use Canva when needed to help with graphic layout needs.

With a film background and strong storytelling instincts, I make sure every project is handled with care and creativity from start to finish.

Pre-production includes:

• Storyboarding and scripting using easy-to-follow visual references

• Shot list development

• Mood boards using Pinterest-style inspiration

• Talent sourcing

• Location scouting and permit requests

• Studio rental scheduling

• Crew and talent coordination

• Production gear rental including camera equipment, audio gear, lighting, tripods, and more

I’m also resourceful when it comes to keeping your budget in check. If you want agency-represented talent, I can reach out to agencies and get you quotes. But I’m also a big believer in hiring independent talent who are professional, reliable, and cost-effective.

You’ll receive everything in a secure, password-protected online vault. You’ll have 90 days to download all of your content. I also use three backup systems to ensure your files are protected from the moment they’re transferred from my memory cards.

After the 90-day window, I reserve the right to archive your album to free up server space. While I do store your photos and videos permanently on my hard drives, if nothing is downloaded by the deadline and you need me to reupload your files, there would be a fee involved to restore and host your content back on the server.

To avoid that, I highly recommend downloading and backing up your content before the 90-day mark. If you have any questions about storage or need help managing your files, just reach out.

There is no federal or state license required to operate a camera, but I am fully insured and experienced with high-end equipment.

Yes, I’m a certified Part 107 drone pilot. I follow all FAA regulations and can provide my registration details upon request.

We’ll start with a 90-minute deep dive session to go over your vision and goals.

This includes:

• Story development

• Brainstorming and concept creation

• Emotional tone-setting

• Character and scene planning

• Shoot schedule

• Wardrobe planning

• Key prop identification

After our deep dive, I’ll begin bringing the vision to life. I’ll keep you updated via email with talent sourcing options, selections, location permit approvals, and any other important updates throughout the process.

From there, we’ll begin prepping everything. Depending on your project’s needs and level of pre-production, shooting typically begins within 2 to 2.5 weeks after the initial session.

My shoots are booked as either half-day or full-day sessions:

• Half-day shoots last up to 4 hours and include setup and teardown

• Full-day shoots last up to 8 hours and are ideal for multiple looks, locations, or more complex production needs

The length of your shoot depends on the scope of the project, how many setups or locations are involved, and the type of content we’re creating. We’ll lock in the best plan for your goals during our prep session.

In the world of photo and video content, licensing determines how and where your content can legally be used. Different platforms and use cases require different types of licenses.

Here are the most common usage types I offer:

1. Organic Use

2. Paid Social Media Ads

3. General Website Use

4. E-Commerce

5. Print

6. Billboards

7. Broadcasting

My standard license includes 1-year usage, which fits most campaigns. You can also upgrade to a 2-year, 3-year, or 5-year license depending on your needs.

Yes. For projects that need wider or longer-term coverage, I offer premium licensing tiers:

• Full Commercial License Grants access to all usage types across all platforms during your chosen licensing term. Ideal for multi-channel campaigns.

• Exclusive Rights Only your brand can use the content during your license term. I won’t resell, reuse, or repurpose it for anyone else.

• Full Buyout Grants lifetime, unlimited use of the content across all platforms with no renewals needed. You fully own the rights to how and where the content is used.

Quick Breakdown

For general print materials like flyers, magazines, and posters, I deliver high-resolution JPEGs in 300 DPI, which is perfect for clean, professional print results.

For larger format prints like wall wraps, storefronts, or billboards, I can deliver TIFF files, which offer the best image quality and support CMYK color — essential for commercial printing.

Billboard agencies and large-format printers typically accept:

• TIFF (preferred for clarity and color accuracy)

• High-resolution PDFs

• EPS or AI files (for vector-based designs and logos)

• JPEGs (if high-resolution and formatted to spec — some vendors do accept this)

If you’re printing something specific, just let me know the vendor’s specs and I’ll deliver the content in the exact format and resolution they need.
