Keeping your project on scope

A few things that
protect your timeline.

This service is priced around a defined scope. The items below keep the project inside that scope. Most albums stay within them easily, and they exist to make the process faster and cleaner for both of us.

Scope requirements
What to have ready before we begin.
Gallery access

Provided within 24 hours of booking, either as gallery access or an exported image set. The sooner this lands, the sooner your project starts.

Preferred image shortlist

If you have must-include or preferred images, send them. This is the single biggest time saver in the entire process and keeps the design rooted in what matters to the client.

Consolidated feedback

One written round per revision. Not staggered emails, not scattered messages. A single clear round of feedback keeps revisions inside the included scope.

Video walkthroughs

If you prefer to record feedback, keep video walkthroughs to 15 minutes or under. Anything beyond that is billed as additional time at the standard rate.

Revision reply window

Replies within 3 business days of proof delivery hold your place in the queue. Beyond that window, projects may be rescheduled to the next available slot.

The short version

Show up with gallery access, a shortlist if you have one, and consolidated feedback when the time comes. Most projects move through this process without hitting a single additional fee.

Additional fees

Outside the scope.
Billed transparently.

The flat rate covers the defined scope. If a project runs beyond it, additional time is billed in 15-minute increments at a clear rate. No surprises, no ambiguity.

$65
Additional revision rounds

The Journal

Operational truth
worth reading.
Occasionally.

Real systems, honest reads, and the occasional thing worth knowing about running a photography business well. Not weekly. Not spammy. Just useful.

Join the list. You'll hear from me when there's something worth saying. No courses to buy at the end. No weekly obligation. Just operational truth from someone who's been inside enough photography businesses to know what actually works.
