Booking
You can use the contact page above, or email me directly at contact@collinfrye.com to send a booking inquiry. I usually respond within a few days to confirm availability and will invite you to a free online consultation depending on the complexity of the project. Dates are not confirmed until a service agreement has been signed.
Preparation
Good preparation gets you the most out of your experience! Some general tips in terms of looking and feeling your best would be to avoid food or drinks that will make you feel unwell or will stain teeth/clothes, and get good sleep on the day before our shoot. If you are bringing any outfits, props, or other materials, try to have it prepped before the day of the shoot to avoid running late or adding stress.
Try to go into it with an open mind - some poses feel really goofy, especially if you are new to professional photo work - but they will often turn into the best photos. I will be there to guide you every step of the way! If you also have pose ideas in mind, feel free to bring them! It may help to have photo examples you know that you're comfortable doing, and we can work from there.
Deliverables
Delivery time depend on the complexity of the project. Generally, photography work can be expected within 2-3 weeks, and video work within 1-2 months. If you would like for a project to be expedited, it may be subject to additional charges, as discussed in the consultation process.
Payment Options
Square can be used to pay using debit/credit, mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App, etc), and more with an additional 3.3% processing fee. You can also pay directly via cash, check, ACH, or bank payment (Zelle) in order to avoid this fee.
Will I receive all of the photos/video taken from the shoot?
In most cases, no. Modern digital cameras don't work like phone cameras, where it automatically adjusts aspects of the photo to give you easy, good-looking photos. There is a ton of post-production editing, even for more subtle shots. This also means that time would be wasted editing photos that may flawed in the first place: when we post that one good selfie, think of the several other shots that may have been deleted because you were blinking. To strike a balance of beautiful looking photos and a timely delivery date, there will usually be a set amount of edited photos sent over as a part of the shoot package.
What exactly am I paying for?
I believe transparency is key, so here's how I break down my pricing: I have certain costs on the day of a shoot that I need to cover, specifically regarding the gear I need, the cost of travel, setup, and even set/clothing design if it is called for. Then I usually charge an hourly rate for my time, which is a big part of my "starting rate." Finally, I have some overhead that I need to cover when it comes to equipment and services that I use throughout the post-production editing process.
Photography services are a professional alternative to doing it yourself. Anyone can take great photos with a modern phone nowadays - I love this as a fan of photography, accessibility is always great! But for businesses trying to differentiate themselves, individuals looking to elevate their visual branding, or families trying to capture those special moments, there is skill and technical equipment needed for creating higher quality media. That's what we're here for!
Can you travel?
I am currently based in Jacksonville, Florida, and I am willing to travel! When you would like to tell your story elsewhere, I am more than open to helping out. Booking will depend on availability, and you may incur additional travel fees for lodging, transportation, and more.
Licensing for Commercial Work
Any brand collaborations, advertising, or promotion of products needs to be disclosed prior to shooting. I am happy to help content creators and local businesses with marketing campaigns, but you will need to purchase a commercial license as a part of our service agreement.
