Standard Operating
Procedures (SOP)

We live in the PNW. Light rain adds atmosphere and grit ("The Twilight" aesthetic). However, if precipitation is heavy enough to damage gear or ruin hair/makeup, we initiate a Tactical Reschedule at no extra cost. The call is made 4 hours prior to deployment.

I do not wait for "Golden Hour" to do my job. I carry a commercial strobe array capable of overpowering the midday sun. If the mission requires a 12:00 PM shoot, we execute. We do not fight the physics of light; we dominate it.

Technically, the copyright remains with the Creator (me). However, you receive a Commercial Print Release. This means you can print, post, and share them anywhere forever. You just cannot sell them to a third party (like a stock photo site) without a separate license.

For athletes: Your gallery includes clearance for self-promotion (Hudl, MaxPreps, Instagram). If a brand (e.g., Nike, a supplement company) wants to use your image for an ad, they must contact "Mission Control" for a licensing agreement.

Game Day Action: 48-72 Hours (Standard). Rush delivery for immediate press/social batches is available for a fee.
Senior/Portraits: 2 Weeks for the Proof Gallery. 3 Weeks for final retouching.
The Archive (Albums): 4-6 Weeks from final design approval.

Negative. I do not release RAW files. The editing (Color Grading) is half the art. Asking for RAW files is like asking a chef for the uncooked chicken. You receive the finished, high-fidelity JPEG assets.

A $300 Retainer is required to secure your date. The remaining balance is due 7 days prior to the operation. We accept all major cards, Afterpay, and Klarna.

Life happens. You may reschedule once with 48 hours notice. Cancellations made without rescheduling forfeit the retainer to cover the lost calendar date.
