Q:
What's with that "(y)" on the end of your last name?
A:
The "e" on the end of my last name is silent but when faced with what e-mail address to give myself in college, all variations of my name were taken. I embraced the mispronunciation and added the "y" which solved things as far as addresses were concerned. Since that day, friends have started calling me "wolfey" and it has become a part of who I am.
OK, now more serious ones...
Q:
Do I purchase prints fom my session through you?
A:
No. I believe in charging only for the up-front services I provide to the client the day-of along with my time in processing the digital images. I don't like the feeling I get from selling expensive marked-up prints after I've already been paid once. Because of that feeling in my innermost being, I give all my clients a CD or DVD with which to make their own prints from wherever they desire. Don't worry, I'll give you some great services to use. Think of it as a "teach a man to fish" way of doing things.
Q:
What is your payment schedule for Weddings?
A:
50% with the return of the signed contract. The remaining 50% is due 2 months prior to the wedding date. *OR* Several of my clients in the past have found it more convenient to pay 100% up front. Whatever is easiest for you. If neither of these methods work, I would be happy to come up with a customized payment plan to fit you.
Q:
Do you have any more photos from our photoshoot?
A:
Technically, yes. Artistically, no. Let me explain... I hold myself to this ever increasing standard: I will never give you (the client) an image that does not make both of us look good. Yes, I take a lot of images but plenty of them have something detracting (either on the part of me or the subject). The images I select at the end of a shoot are the best. They should stand on their own legs. I'm not going to include 5-10 images of the same angle, same pose, same expression. This is how I've always operated and it pushes me to get even better.
