FAQs
-
I occasionally accept product-only collaborations if the brand and product align with my content, values, and audience. However, please note:
Products must have a minimum retail value that reflects the scope of work expected.
Posting or promotion is not guaranteed unless otherwise discussed and agreed upon in writing.
If content is required (e.g., high-quality photos, video, or UGC), a content creation fee will apply.
Usage rights for any content created must be agreed upon in advance and may require an additional licensing fee.
Product-only trades are considered on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for understanding and valuing the time, creativity, and effort that goes into content creation.
-
All content packages include professionally edited and finalized images or videos only. Edited content reflects my creative direction, professional standards, and the overall brand aesthetic I strive to maintain.
Raw content is not included in any standard package.
If raw files (unedited images or uncut video footage) are specifically requested:
A raw content release fee will apply.
Delivery of raw files does not include any usage rights unless otherwise agreed upon.
Usage beyond personal or internal brand reference may require an additional licensing fee.
Please note: Releasing raw content is not standard practice, as it does not represent the final vision of my work.
-
Yes, a signed contract is required before any work begins. This ensures that both parties are aligned on expectations, deliverables, timelines, usage rights, and payment terms.
The contract protects the integrity of the project and provides clarity and accountability for everyone involved.
No content will be created, delivered, or shared until the agreement is signed and the initial payment or retainer is received.
-
Content created for brand collaborations is primarily intended for the brand’s use. However, I may choose to share select content on my own platforms (social media, website, portfolio, etc.) at my discretion—especially if it aligns with my aesthetic and audience.
If you’d prefer the content not be shared publicly on my platforms, please let me know in advance so we can arrange for an exclusivity agreement (which may require an additional fee).
-
Creating intentional, high-quality branded content involves more than just taking pretty photos or videos. Here’s what you can expect when we work together:
Discovery & Strategy
We’ll start with a brief consultation (via email or call) to understand your brand, goals, target audience, and the type of content you’re looking for—whether it’s lifestyle, product-focused, or storytelling-driven.
Creative Direction & Planning
Once aligned, I’ll develop a mood board or creative outline to guide the aesthetic and messaging. This includes location ideas, props, outfits, and any brand elements you want highlighted.
Content Creation Day
I’ll shoot the content based on our creative plan. Whether it’s UGC, lifestyle photography, or product features, everything is curated with your brand identity and audience in mind.
Editing & Final Touches
I’ll professionally edit the content for quality, consistency, and platform readiness. All content will be optimized for your chosen platforms (Instagram, TikTok, website, etc.).
Delivery
Final files are delivered via Pixieset within the agreed turnaround timeframe. You’ll receive high-resolution visuals along with standard licensing for organic use.
-
Turnaround times vary based on the selected package and scope of work. Standard delivery timelines will be clearly communicated at the time of booking.
Branded Content / UGC: Typically delivered within 7–14 business days
Photography Sessions: Typically delivered within 7–21 business days
Rush delivery is available for an additional fee and must be requested in advance
Business days do not include weekends or holidays. Please note that turnaround times begin once all necessary materials (products, content brief, etc.) have been received.
Delays in delivery due to incomplete information or client delays may affect the turnaround timeline.
-
All content packages include standard licensing for organic use—such as social media, websites, email marketing, and internal brand use.
Use in paid ads, boosted posts, whitelisting, print materials, or repurposing for other campaigns is not included unless specified in your selected package.
If ad usage or extended licensing is not included in your package, it can be added on for an additional fee. Custom licensing options are available to fit your marketing goals and content needs.
Policies
-
A 50% non-refundable retainer is required to secure your booking. The remaining balance is due prior to content delivery or on the day of your session, depending on the service type.
Payment can be made via [insert accepted payment methods, e.g., credit card, Zelle, PayPal, etc.].
No final content will be delivered until the full balance is paid. Late payments may delay delivery and could result in a late fee.
Content may be delivered with a temporary watermark or copyright notice until final payment is received. Once paid in full, the watermark will be removed and usage rights (as outlined in your package) will be granted.
All rates are subject to change and are only guaranteed once your retainer is received and your contract is signed.
-
Each content package includes one round of revisions, which must be requested within 3 business days of delivery.
Revisions cover minor adjustments such as cropping, text overlay changes, or basic color edits (if applicable). They do not include full reshoots, major creative direction changes, or re-edits outside of the original scope.
Additional revisions or major changes will be subject to an additional fee and timeline adjustment.
To ensure satisfaction, please provide clear direction and inspiration prior to the shoot or content creation process.
-
Raw (unedited) images, video footage, or files are not included in any standard package.
I deliver high-quality, professionally edited content that reflects my creative vision and brand standards. Releasing raw files is not standard practice, as they do not represent the final product.
If raw content is specifically requested:
A raw file release fee will apply
Raw files are provided as-is with no editing, retouching, or formatting
Usage rights must be discussed separately and may require additional licensing
Please note: The raw content fee covers access only—not ownership or unlimited usage.
-
All content created is protected under copyright and remains the intellectual property of the creator unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.
Standard licensing is included with each package and covers:
Organic use on social media
Website placement
Email marketing
Internal brand use
The following uses are not included in standard licensing unless specified in your package:
Paid advertising (e.g., Facebook/Instagram ads, boosted posts)
Print materials
Whitelisting or influencer dark posting
Repurposing for new campaigns or platforms
If you’d like to use the content for advertising or commercial purposes, extended licensing can be added on for an additional fee. Custom usage rights can be tailored to fit your marketing needs and goals.

Clients are responsible for providing all products required for the project. Please ensure items are delivered in new, photo-ready condition with any necessary packaging, branding elements, or usage instructions included.
Shipping & Handling:
Products must be received by the agreed-upon date to avoid delays in production or delivery.
Shipping costs to the creator are the responsibility of the brand unless otherwise arranged.
If the return of products is required, prepaid return labels must be provided at the time of shipment.
Product Returns:
Products will be kept for up to 14 days after content delivery unless a different arrangement is made in advance.
If no return label is provided within that timeframe, the product may be discarded, donated, or retained for portfolio use.
Please note: Content production will not begin until all products are received in full.
-
All final content will be delivered digitally via Pixieset, depending on the type of project.
Files will be high-resolution and optimized for your intended use (e.g., social media, website, or print). If specific formats or dimensions are needed, please let me know before delivery.
Raw files are not included unless previously agreed upon and a raw content fee has been added.
Your Pixieset gallery will remain available for a minimum of 14 days. Some packages may include a longer access window, which will be outlined in your service details. Please download and back up all content within the availability period, as access may be removed after that time.
-
Reshoots are not included in standard packages and will only be considered in the case of an error on my part (e.g., technical issues or failure to follow the agreed-upon creative direction).
Reshoots requested due to:
A change in creative direction after content has been delivered
Client dissatisfaction based on subjective preferences
Late delivery of products or incomplete information
…will require a new booking and additional fee.
To avoid the need for a reshoot, please provide clear direction, brand assets, and any necessary details prior to the shoot. I’m happy to work with you on a creative outline beforehand to ensure alignment.
-
Cancellations made more than 7 business days in advance will not owe the remaining balance, but the retainer is non-refundable.
Cancellations made within 7 business days of the scheduled shoot or delivery date may be subject to a cancellation fee of up to 100% of the total project cost, depending on how much work has already been completed.
Rescheduling:
One reschedule is allowed with at least 5 business days’ notice and must be rebooked within 30 days.
Additional reschedules will require a new retainer and are subject to availability.
Late Product Arrivals:
If products arrive late and impact the agreed-upon timeline, the project may need to be rescheduled, which could delay delivery or require a new booking.
If content cannot be created due to product delays, the project may be canceled without refund of the original retainer.
For Long-Term or Retainer Clients:
If cancellation occurs mid-agreement, any work completed up to that point will be billed accordingly.
Remaining monthly retainers are non-refundable once that month’s work has begun, but future months can be canceled with 14 days’ written notice.
Please communicate any changes or delays early to avoid fees and ensure a smooth project flow.
-
All project communication will be handled via email to ensure clarity, proper documentation, and organized timelines. Please allow up to 48 business hours for responses, though I always aim to reply sooner.
For faster updates or quick check-ins, limited communication may also take place through approved platforms (such as Instagram DMs or client portals), but all final decisions, approvals, and deliverables must be confirmed via email.
Office hours are typically Monday–Friday, 10 AM – 5 PM MST. Messages sent outside of these hours will be responded to on the next business day.
Clear communication ensures an efficient and successful collaboration—I appreciate your understanding and professionalism throughout the process.
