I have a general idea of what I'd like, but want to leave the creative work to the professionals, is that ok?

Yes.

While we always encourage your involvement, we are professionals and with a well thought out and detailed plan we can be left to do what we always do best.

Note: Even when a project is left to our team to make key art direction decisions, we may still request direct feedback from you if we're not 100% sold about a concept we're working on.

More Frequently Asked Questions

How much advance notice do I need to book a project?

2-4 weeks, generally.

Commercial photography shoots can take many weeks or months of planning and preparation with very tight running schedules and deadlines. By providing advance notice, it allows me to schedule and prepare for your shoot in a professional and reliable way.

How many photos will I get?

As many as you want.

There are many factors that go into a shot count but I generally create 8-12 photographs per day of shooting. This yield depends heavily on the size and complexity of the project considering the styling, staging, lighting, models, permits/access, and other logistical needs.

For example, a mixed-day shoot with a few high value photographs and a package of social media / detail shots would provide more quantity, but overall less quality and vice verse.

When in doubt: Plan out your media needs ahead of time and we will ensure the most important shots are prioritized.

Do I own the rights to the photos taken by a commercial photographer?

You, mostly.

Ultimately, it depends on the contract and agreement we make for your specific project.

Typically, you (the client) will have the rights to use the photos for your intended purposes, but we (the photographer) may retain ownership and have the right to use them in their portfolio or for future marketing purposes.

Note: ALL clients get a lifetime unlimited license to use the photos; ownership of the photos is based on client needs and budget.

Why do I need commercial photography?

Time.

Today, people value their time more than ever and are making buying decisions faster then ever. Professional commercial photography can help businesses cut through the noise and effectively showcase their products or services in the best possible light, significantly impacting purchasing decisions.

Do you only work with large companies/resorts?

No.

We love working with businesses of all sizes and understand the importance of all businesses of all sizes having impactful visuals to help them attract customers. We even offer specialized packages for startups or entrepreneurs on a budget.

I have never hired a photographer before, where do I start?

Plan ahead.

Before inquiring, you should have a good idea of (a) how soon will you need the project done (b) whereabouts will the work take place and (c) what are some examples of what you want to achieve. It is also helpful to know who on your team will be the key decision maker/tie breaker, who will be the primary point of contact before, during, and after the shoot, and how much staff you have available to assist with the production process.

Once you have a good idea of what your project might look like, give me a call at or shoot me an email to continue the planning process.

What services do you provide? Can you service ongoing/recurring clients?

I make photos and videos. Yes.

I mainly work with resort and hospitality industries which includes creating photography and media of architecture spaces, food and beverage, product and retail, lifestyle and editorial and skilled drone/aerial coverage.

I also provide advertising and social media content to help support marketing teams and small businesses on an ongoing basis as well as other services that your existing teams can benefit from such as web development, digital advertising, SEO, among other related services.

How long does it take to get my photos/videos?

10 days, generally.

Your photos and videos are typically delivered within 10 business days of the last shoot day. However, this process can be expedited if needed - don't forget to mention it when you submit your request for an estimate. Just remember... there's an age-old saying about quality, speed, and price... and while we strive to provide all three, it's usually the exception to the rule.

Note: More dynamic projects where post-production involves many decisions can take more time to deliver.

Where are you located? Can you come to me?

Las Vegas. Yes.

While I mainly serve resort and hospitality clients in Las Vegas, I accept projects from all around the world across a variety of styles including architecture, lifestyle, product, food and even construction projects.

Note: If travel is ever an issue, I'm happy to provide a photographer I can dispatch directly or consult with a local photographer in your area to help guide your project to success.
