+ film FAQ
-
Booking requires a signed contract and the nonrefundable retainer stated within that contract.
The retainer reserves the production date and is applied toward the total service fee. A date is not reserved until the signed contract and retainer have both been received.
The remaining payment schedule and final due date are stated within the contract.
-
ABSOLUTELY!
The published packages can be used as starting points. Custom packages are available for projects requiring a different combination of photography, film, production time, participants, locations, or completed deliverables.
Photography and film may also be combined when the project requires both.
-
Locations are selected according to the project’s concept, lighting, sound, available space, and production requirements.
Sessions may take place outdoors, inside the client’s home or workspace, inside a rented studio, or at another approved location.
Studio rentals, venue charges, permits, parking and other location-related expenses are separate unless specifically included within the selected package or contract. Travel outside Metro Atlanta may also require an additional fee.
-
The forecast for outdoor sessions will be monitored as the production date approaches.
If weather conditions make the session unsafe or prevent the planned work from being completed, rescheduling will be handled according to the signed contract.
Cloud cover or light rain does not automatically require rescheduling. The decision will depend on the location, equipment, planned imagery, and overall production needs.
-
Wardrobe guidance is provided during the planning process based on the selected package, location, and intended use of the final work.
Clothing should support the planned concepts and arrive clean, pressed, and ready to photograph or film. Multiple looks must remain within the number included in the selected package.
For film production, small repetitive patterns, noisy jewelry, or distracting logos may be discouraged unless they are intentionally part of the concept.
-
Packages that include client-selected photography receive a private proofing gallery after the session.
Proofing images are used to select the photographs included within the package. They are not completed final images and should not be downloaded, posted, or shared.
After selections are submitted, the chosen photographs receive the level of correction or retouching included within the package.
Portraits, engagement sessions, headshots, Artist Intimate Storyline sessions, and Content Packages use proofing galleries when stated within the package. Wedding-day and event galleries are curated by the photographer.
-
Quality correction is applied to every delivered final photograph. It includes adjustments to exposure, color, white balance, cropping, and overall image consistency.
Premium retouching is a more detailed process reserved for selected images included within the package. It may include detailed skin work, stray-hair removal, wardrobe and accessory cleanup, background cleanup, and other localized enhancements.
Additional premium-retouched images may be purchased when available.
-
A completed vertical reel is fully edited, color-corrected, and delivered ready to post on vertical social-media platforms.
A content footage reel is a raw-style compilation containing a varied mixture of selected footage. It is captured and delivered at 60 frames per second so the client can slow down and repurpose sections while creating their own social-media content.
Content footage reels do not include every clip recorded during production.
-
Each completed reel or film includes one revision unless the selected package or contract states otherwise.
A revision may include reasonable changes to the existing edit. A new concept, reshoot, additional version, extended runtime, or work outside the original production scope may require an additional fee.
Revision requests should be submitted together as one clear and complete list.
-
Completed photographs and films are delivered through a private online gallery or another private digital delivery method appropriate for the project.
Photography galleries include high-resolution downloadable files. Film deliverables are provided as downloadable completed video files.
The exact turnaround time is based on the selected service and is stated within the contract. Larger weddings, films, albums, and projects requiring extensive retouching may require longer production timelines.
Expedited delivery may be available for an additional fee.
-
No. RAW photographs, editing project files, and complete unedited camera footage are not included unless expressly stated within the selected package or signed contract.
Clients receive the completed deliverables included within their selected package.
A content footage reel is a selected raw-style compilation—it is not the complete footage recorded during production.
-
b. eng retains the copyright to the photographs and films. Clients receive the printing and usage rights stated within their selected package and signed contract.
Final personal photography galleries include permission to print the delivered photographs for personal use. Professional prints and albums may also be purchased when available.
Artist packages include standard self-promotional use for the artist’s website, portfolio, press, grant applications, exhibition promotion, and organic social media.
Business and content packages include standard organic promotional use for the client’s website, portfolio, press, email marketing, and organic social media.
Paid advertising, resale, broadcast, product packaging, third-party licensing, and other expanded commercial uses require separate written licensing unless expressly included within the signed contract.
WANNA KNOW WHAT THEY BE SAYIN’?

“My business partners and I were very fortunate to have found B while we were in Atlanta for business. We needed some professional and lifestyle photos for our website and marketing material. She understood what we wanted, was very accommodating, and so helpful every step of the way. She gave great suggestions for wardrobe & tips to make sure we’re ready for the best possible photos, she didn’t rush us, and she put a lot of time and effort into editing the photos for us. Her service was extraordinary. It is hard to find good people these days who care so much about their work and their clients. I highly recommend B. She is an artist who is not only fun to work with, but her photo quality is out of this world!”
