Pricing Packages
Branding sessions to promote your business or services start at $2,500. While the below packages are the best mixes I’ve found that previous clients need to tell their story, however, we can customize a package to suit your needs too.
I have three tiers of offerings I do with brands - with the price points of $2,500, $3,500 and $5,000.
Regardless of the package you choose - all my sessions include access to my client closet for my gowns and dresses, do not have a time limit to them because I know it can take some time to settle into the moment and come back to the intention/feeling behind what you want these images to represent, and you choose which photos best represent what you need from a full gallery, regardless of the amount of download credits you chose.
My lead up process is also slower than most - I suggest a good 2 months before your session date - as I want us both to marinate in the symbolism, themes, and concepts of what story you'll be telling alongside the photos - and do some groundwork of questionnaires and chats. While there's some fluidity in how this all works, I use this groundwork as something to come back to in the moment when we're out in the field, hills or trees shooting. While I occasionally do studio sessions, my preference is outdoors and wandering, and all my sessions are natural light.
The amount of locations and play we have together increases with the larger packages, the differentiator is the amount of photos you get to choose from and the level of support I provide to guide you through how to use these photos, the storyline pillars to come back to, and suggested ways you can build off the same feelings of the photos until your next session.
I do curate the gallery you choose your photos from, because who the hell isn't overwhelmed by 200-500 photos regardless of how much you enjoy the variety in choice?? If you get to the end of it all and decide you need more - you can always add onto your package with ala carte items like singular digital files for $75/image or additional support with video and reel compilations.
Package 1 - $2,500
up to a max of 2 locations chosen for sessions;
12 digital images for download chosen from a gallery of approx 35-50 edited photos;
content bank of organic video (shot on iphone) of 4 videos.
Package 2 - $3,500
2 - 3 locations chosen for sessions;

content bank of organic video (shot on iphone) of 6 videos and 1 composed reel.
Package 3 - $5,000
3 - 5 locations chosen for sessions;
I often suggest this should be broken up into multiple sessions - this can make for an extremely long day if we do it all at once (though it certainly can be done);
doing it over a few days also gives us a chance to get multiple lighting situations (morning or evening sessions) and gives you variety in how you want to show up in the shots (natural one day, make up or even full glam the next);
75 digital and print quality images for download chosen from a gallery of approx 100 - 150 edited photos;
content bank of organic video (shot on iphone) of 10 videos and 3 composed reels.

Process
I like to schedule a call (or a meet up if you’re local to the Vancouver area) to make sure we’re the right fit for each other. During this call I’ll be asking a variety of prep questions about your vision, your timeline and your budget. Should we decide we’re the right fit for one another, I’ll be in touch with a summary of our call, a contract outlining the package you’ve chosen and what’s included, as well as costs. 50% of your session fee is due at contract signing to confirm your session date, and the remaining 50% is due 4 weeks prior to your session. Once you’ve paid your deposit, the date is held for you. Journal questions, prompts, check in and story development. Multiple locations to ensure it feels right in the moment and we’re getting the light, scenery and feelings My sessions happen during the weekdays (to avoid crowds and any traffic delays),
HOW DO I MAKE THIS A FLOW CHART?
Payment plans are available upon request and I offer membership packages to clients I’ve worked with in the past.
Why is your lead up time to a session 3 - 4 months?
The reason is so that we can take our time and get to the layers of your story to suss out the details, themes and concepts. Whether you’ll be appearing in your photos, or using models to tell the story of your brand, my style of storytelling requires a natural trust to build between us + time to let the details simmer. I'm a believer that we're all worthy of a production, and I want us to give yours the time and space to unfold.
Do I have to be in the brand photos?
Of course not. Not everyone wants to be the face of their brand, and that’s ok. I’m happy to coordinate model hiring, location booking
A brand has reached out and wants to use my photo for their website. What do I say?
Policies - rescheduling and cancelling, (maximum amount of sessions per month, booked in advance to concentrate and pour my energy into your story.
