notes from past clients

-blonded by aly

I had the absolute pleasure of doing a branding shoot with Maggie and she was so open, excited, and supportive. I felt an instant connection with her, which made the entire process feel effortless.

I’ve never had so much fun prepping for a shoot, and by the day of, I felt completely comfortable and confident in what we were about to accomplish. Maggie put so much thought and care into making sure my branding goals were fully captured. During the shoot, she paid attention to every detail, from correcting poses to fixing stray hairs, which, if you ask me, is an absolute must.

 Safe to say, I’ll absolutely be working with Maggie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer to capture any season of their life.

How far in advance do i need to book my project?

01

 Most brand projects are booked 3-6 weeks in advance to allow time for planning, creative direction, and coordination.
If you're working on a tighter timeline, feel free to reach out -- I'll always do my best do accomodate when availability allows. 

will i have full ownership of my photos?

02

You'll receive full usage rights to your photos and videos, meaning you are free to use them across your website, social media, marketing, and promotional materials. 

I retain the copyright as the creator, which is standard in the industry, but your content is fully yours to use and share for your business. Extended or exclusive usage licensing is available for larger commercial campaigns if needed. 

how long is the average turnaround for a gallery or video?

03

Depending on the project, you will get a sneak peak gallery or teaser video within a few weeks. The final project will have a turn around of 12-14 weeks and videos have a turn around time of 16-20 weeks. This IS subject to change depending on how busy the season is for that year and what our project entails.

what if there is bad weather for our session?

04

We can either weather the storm or we can reschedule! If it is due to weather, I am all about rescheduling, no fees, and making sure we get the kind of weather you were hoping for! If it is an event that you can't reschedule, we will do our best to work around it! We can bring clear umbrellas and maybe move things in doors. I will always do my best to make any situation turn around if I can! Otherwise, it might just fit the mood!

do you provide the unedited raw image files?

05

I do not provide the unedited raw image/video files and here's why: raw files are unedited and straight from the camera.They don't accurately depict my photography or videography and are instead the baseline canvas of what I work on in the editing process. I edit the images to ensure they meet my quality standards, and offering the raw files will not actually be what you are hoping they are. The raw files are also large and require special software to convert into viewable images and video.

do you work with brands long-term?

06

YES -- many of my clients book ongoing content sessions to keep their visuals consistent and aligned as their brand grows.
