Basic Questions & Answers

  • I see your longest session is 4 hours, what if we need more time?

My packages show time mostly for a mental image for expectations on the amount of photos to receive. I also mainly utilize Peerspace for venues, which can range from 2-4 hour minimum rentals. For each additional hour needed for our photo session will be about $150 with another ~20 photos.


  • Why will our photos take 1-2 weeks for delivery?

Delivery times are mostly impacted by other life events, client bookings, editing, but doesn't mean I will wait until the last day to send them out. I work on editing on my photos as soon as possible, but as an artist I won't rush through this process to deliver photos that are not up to my standard of quality. With social media I understand content might feel like it needs to be uploaded at the moment but I appreciate your patience and hope you appreciate mine.


  • Why are you prices set differently from other photographers?

Compared to other photographer that offer similar or different services, in order to transform this from a hobby into a profession, my prices don't go straight into my pocket but gets sent to my business, Astral Infinitum LLC, which then pays for software licenses (Lightroom, Photoshop, and etc.), website hosting, advertising, gear, gas, electricity, cloud storage, and etc.


  • I see our session will only get us X amount of images, but I heard the camera shutter click off more than X amount of times? What about those extra shots?

When working with models who are easier to direct, I can get somewhere between 50-80 good shots in 30 mins. Where as with normal clients this drops because poses will need to be directed more. The listed amounts are just a minimum expected shots, we won't just point and click 10 shots and be done. We will utilize the time given and with that I will shoot more than what is listed. I could also just ask you to pick your 10 favorite photos but I don't want you to feel like you are missing out so if I got 30 good shots in 30 mins with you, I'll just edit them and they are yours. No one likes to be nickel and dimed afterwards for photos that are being held hostage from you. Tips are appreciated though for this extra effort and courtesy.


  • Can I shoot with my pet?

Unfortunately no, venues may not allow them, they also add an additional challenge for poses


  • Can my husband, partner, friend, or etc. join me?

Yes, if it's for companionship, safety reasons or etc. please feel free to bring anyone, if it's a service animal I understand and hope to accommodate you as best as possible.

Additional models are only included in the Premium Package due to time constraints for additional posing, and an additional contract will need to be signed for each individual.


  • I saw one of your models drinking in a photo, Can I bring a bottle of wine, smoke a joint during our session or etc ? I need it in order to feel comfortable.

While I highly advocate for us to enjoy and have as much fun on set. All drinks during my shoots have be De-Alcoholized, they still taste good without the buzz and they're only there for artistic aesthetic. Unless we know each other personally I prefer us to be professional and sober to reduce the chances of accidents and allegations. I understand that these substances may help with calming nerves but your safety is also my priority (even as a Pro-Cannabis Photographer). Also some venues may decline us for Alcohol use, add cleaning charges, or may not allow any smoking smoking on property.


  • Do I have to rent a venue?

It's encouraged, but if you have a location or prefer to shoot in your own home as long as it's photo ready then that is acceptable.


  • Are we able to shoot in a car instead of venue?

Yes, I know a few but I am not network with many luxurious or specialty car owners.


  • I don't live in Florida, would you able travel to me?

I am open to travelling, I would need to know far in advance, and as this wouldn't be a vacation for me I anticipate that expenses would be provided and paid for by the client.


  • Will I be able to order prints of my photos?

Your gallery is linked to my store where you can order prints, wall art, albums, or cards without going to a 3rd party vendor.


  • Your portfolio is very diversified, I like your style but I am not sure what you specialize in?

As my passion has lead my photography to learning different genres, these skills allow me to adapt our shoot for different creative visions. We can shoot fitness photos for you social media, update your dating photos, or blend my expertise for a cosplay boudoir shoot with aerial photos for an artistic self esteem boost. Let's schedule a consultation, tell me what you're vision is.
