Investment

A clear quote for the work you actually need.

Every commission is shaped around its people, schedule, finished photographs, and intended use. You receive the scope and cost in writing before making a decision.

What shapes the quote

Transparent by design.

01

Time & coverage

The schedule, number of locations, people involved, and the moments or deliverables that must be covered.

02

Production

Planning, location needs, creative coordination, travel, assistants, and any other resources the work requires.

03

Finished work

The number and type of final photographs, level of retouching, gallery or file delivery, and requested turnaround.

04

Image usage

Personal use is different from advertising or publication. Commercial licensing reflects channels, duration, audience, and reach.

Your written proposal

No guesswork before booking.

Each proposal is built to make the working relationship clear. It identifies:

  • The project or session scope
  • The fee and payment schedule
  • The expected finished photographs and delivery method
  • The planned schedule and delivery window
  • Travel or production items included in the quote
  • The personal-use permission or commercial image license

Choose a starting point

Tell Mike what you are planning.

01 Portrait photography Relaxed, personality-led portraits for individuals, couples, families, and meaningful milestones. 02 Event & community photography Attentive coverage of celebrations, civic moments, community gatherings, and live action. 03 Editorial & commercial photography Purposeful imagery for food, places, organizations, and stories that need a clear point of view.

Pricing questions

Good to know before you inquire.

Why are there no one-size-fits-all prices?

A short portrait session and a multi-location commercial project require very different preparation, coverage, editing, and usage. A defined scope produces a more honest quote.

When will I know the total?

After Mike has the essential project details, you receive a written quote that identifies the work, fee, payment schedule, delivery expectations, and image usage before you commit.

Does asking for a quote reserve my date?

No. An inquiry begins the conversation. Availability and the steps required to reserve a date are confirmed in writing with your proposal.

Can the scope change later?

Yes, when everyone agrees in writing. Changes to coverage, deliverables, travel, timing, or licensing may also change the fee and schedule.
