Q and A

A. The short answer is that depends on the model mostly. Often times a model may take 30 minutes or more initially to get prepared. Then there is the change of outfits between sets. While the model changes, I'm setting up the next set/background and am ready to go and usually waiting on the model. And If the model requires a lot of direction in modeling that is time consuming as well. The Quick shoot session usually requires at least 1 and 1/2 hours total. For the STUDIO PLEASURE session or the GO DIVA session, obviously more time will be needed. Possibly a full day. The session should be considered a creative endeavor and if you don't have the time to devote to it then make your appointment when you have the time.

We offer a photo session to suit anyone's needs. The Quick shoot is $125.00 and is generally for internet Ads. The Studio Pleasure session is $275.00 which is perfect for your own personalized website. The Go Diva Portfolio is recommended for those with their own Pay site with a lot of content.

A. If that's all you need then I'm in luck because I'll only have to click the shutter 5 to 10 times for $125.00. In other words, My fee is still $125.00 for the Quick shoot. But to give you the best selection of images, I offer a minimum of 50 images (usually about 60-70) for the quick shoot. This is not like walking into Walgreens to get a passport photo taken.

A. If you do not want me to use them in my advertising or put them in my gallery page, I delete them off my computer and my camera after burning them to CD. This is done before you leave the studio. If you absolutely do not want your images in my online gallery please tell me.

Certainly. I have customers with their own adult websites who use my work. We are open minded and non judgmental. Commercial use requires a Work for Hire, Shared Copyright or other type of special arrangement and written agreement..

The short answer is you are simply hiring a professional to provide you with a service that fulfills your photography needs. After the job is complete and all requirements of the job description were met, the images shot on that project become the property of the client. These images cannot be resold without permission of the client. However, a model release must be executed as you would any contract. "Work for Hire" is when the client needs or wants to have complete ownership of the copyright to the images for commercial use. Unless there is a "Work for Hire" arrangement , under US Copyright Law, the ownership and copyright, and therefore all publication and reproduction rights to a photograph, belongs to the creator of the work (photographer) and not the subject. We reserve the right to use a few photos (without any nudity if such exists, and with the approval of the client) from the shoot, for our portfolios and in our advertising and marketing.

I do not provide wardrobe, however, I do have a few accessories that can work in a pinch. We have several props, set-ups and backgrounds to use. As for make-up, I've been told that if you go to a make up counter at a place like Saks or Macy's and act like you want to buy some cosmetics, you can get a make up done there. Then come here for your shoot!

I will only re-touch a few images because more often than not, the model has tattoos, stretch marks, scars or such that she wants removed. This can be very time consuming and it's possible to have many hours work involved touching up 50 , 100 or more images if done properly. That's why I charge for additional image re-touching.

I offer photo sessions just about anytime of day or night. In fact, I've been know to be doing photo shoots as late as midnight. I'm usually available three to four days a week. Call to make an appointment.

Your photos will be re-touched, re-sized and burned to CD while you wait, immediately after the shoot. I much prefer to do the image re-touching while you are here at the studio so I know exactly what you want re-touched.

I charge $400.00 for a 4 page website which includes a custom designed Home page, About Page, Gallery Page and a 4th page which may be titled as you wish. . I will expect you to have all text written for each page you want and what the pages should be titled. You will be required to secure a domain name and web hosting account. I can assist you in the process.
