Hi and thanks for your interest in booking with me! I love my job and love to have a great time during the shoot, but there are some things that must be addressed on the business end first! Please don't be offended by my policies- they are necessary due to prior experiences. If we get this part out of the way it just makes for a smoother more productive shoot!
- Hair and Makeup Artists:
I am great at doing my own makeup and hair. I do however, find that they can be extremely beneficial to images and strongly suggest you get one for glamour, fashion, or editorial work specifically if we are shooting for print. I do ask that you let me know what makeup artist we will be working with ahead of time.
- Cancellation policy:
For cancellations within 2 weeks (14 days) time period before the date of
the shoot, there is no fee, however if you book me in the future I will require a non-refundable deposit towards the shoot because you are considered a risk for me to book with. For cancellations within 7 days, there is a 50% fee (of our agreed on rate), and for those within 48 hours there is a 100% fee. This is due to the fact that when I travel I've already covered a majority of the expenses. This is my full time job, and if I fly myself to another city, I rely on the jobs you book me for to pay for that flight, hotel, and other travel expenses. If you flake, I may not be able to eat the following day.
- Locations:
I am an avid hiker and lover of nature. However, If you are interested in shooting me outdoors, I ask that at the very least you scout out the location, particularly if you have not been to a certain location in a few years. Also, unless you are Gary Breckheimer, I am not interested in posing nude in highly trafficked urban public.
- My limitations are defined as:
Fashion, beauty, editorial, fine art, glamour, swimwear, playboy-style glamour, light fetish, pin-up, et al. I will not do blatant crotch shots, insertion with fingers or toys, no masturbation and no boy-girl (basically NO porn). I will pose with other female models in a playboy style or artistic girl-girl situation, but again, no pornography. If you have a question- I suggest you ask so there's no confusion.
- The BIG QUESTION: RATES.
My rates are as follows:
Fashion, Nude-Fine Art - $100.00 /Hour
Glamour, Playboy style Girl-Girl - $125.00 /Hour
Half day rate - $350.00 /4 Hours for up to glamour
Full day rate - $600.00 /8 Hours for up to glamour
I have a two hour minimum for all bookings that are further than 30 minutes from my home!
- Negotiating:
I'm happy to hear negotiations on any project as well as with rates, however please be advised that usually when negotiations are met it is in return for a tear sheet, or due to the client's own budget. None the less I certainly am a little flexible when the images and the experience can be beneficial to myself.
- Time=Money:
When you show up to work and clock in, you are getting paid. My job is the same. When I show up and am ready to go, we are on the clock. This means that if you are ready when I arrive, or if you need to set up lights for the next two hours while I sit around-I am still being paid for my time. I can not take multiple jobs in a day if we can't stay on the allotted schedule.
- Release:
I am generally open to signing a full release with one exception. I need it stated in the release that you are not to make a pay site with my name or solely of myself, or use the images for a pay site.
OK! That's it!! Not too bad eh? Please please please if you have any questions, please ask!
Also, please provide me with the following information, so that we can skip to the fun part: deciding what to shoot!
