Question 1

How do I secure my dates?

Accepted Answer

I secure dates with a signed contract and a deposit. Until the deposit is received, I can’t guarantee the date, and it may be offered to other inquiries.

Question 2

What happens if I confirm but don’t pay a deposit immediately?

Accepted Answer

I ask that deposits are paid promptly to hold your booking. A verbal confirmation or email alone does not lock in the date. If I don’t receive your deposit within the agreed timeframe, I may need to release the date to other clients.

Question 3

Can I request a deposit extension or hold dates?

Accepted Answer

I understand that schedules can be busy. I can hold dates for a short period if requested, but the deposit deadline always applies to officially secure your booking.

Question 4

What if my preferred dates are already taken?

Accepted Answer

I’ll let you know immediately and do my best to find alternative dates that work for your project.

Question 5

How does the booking and payment process work?

Accepted Answer

A 30% deposit is required to secure your booking. 
This deposit is non-refundable, as the date is fully reserved for your project.
The remaining 70% is paid on the day of the shoot.
Delivery timelines begin once the final payment is received.

Question 6

Can I reschedule my shoot?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as the new date is available.
Your deposit stays valid for up to 6 months.
If the project is cancelled entirely, the deposit is withheld to cover the reserved date.

Question 7

Do you offer contracts for each project?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every project includes a clear agreement covering:
 • what’s included
 • delivery timelines
 • revision terms
 • payment structure
 • usage rights
 • cancellation and rescheduling
This protects both of us and ensures full clarity from the start.

Question 8

How early do you arrive?

Accepted Answer

I typically arrive 30–60 minutes before filming to set up lighting, audio, and cameras.

Question 9

What if the shoot takes longer than expected?

Accepted Answer

Additional coverage is available by the hour.
Rates vary depending on the type of project, and extra time is always discussed before continuing, so there are no surprises.

Question 10

Do you guide people who are camera-shy?

Accepted Answer

Yes.
 Most clients I work with aren’t used to being in front of a camera.
 I guide you naturally through:
 • pacing
 • tone
 • delivery
 • posture
 • energy
My approach is calm, friendly, and supportive no pressure, no forced acting.
