Additional Info:

– Editing is included with the price for all sessions.
– Shoots may go overtime with approval, without additional cost.
– Minimum shots is simply a minimum, usually more than the quota will be delivered.
– *I specialize in individual photography however if group photos are desired, the pricing remains the same but the minimum shots quota might not be upheld. Turns out I don’t have to press the shutter button harder to take photos of more people, so the hourly rate will remain the same.
– Deliverables will be sent through Google Photos albums, Google Drive, and/or physical SD card. Virtual products will remain available only for a limited time, please download the completed product at your earliest convenience. If you need your edited photos after the availability expires, a temporary link may be provided free of charge if I still have your photos in my archives.
– **Clients will be responsible for transportation costs to locations outside a 10 mile travel distance from Berkeley, CA. However, If there are multiple clients requesting photoshoots at a specific location, I will help coordinate and split the transportation cost if photoshoots can be scheduled within a reasonable time window at the location.
– I may ask for your permission to record our photoshoot and/or publish a photo we took together for my portfolio and social media.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect out of a photoshoot?

Usually what happens is we walk around the location of your choosing and if there’s anywhere we feel could be a good photo opportunity, we spend a few minutes there, get the shots we envisioned, crack a few jokes, then move on. If you’d like to know more about how one of my usual photoshoots transpire, feel free to check out my blog where I summarize my photoshoots with friends and clients. After the photoshoot, I’ll edit the photos and send them to you in a Google Photos album or by request, an SD card or other flash memory device. The photos will be available for at least a week for you to download, after which they might be removed. If for some reason you didn’t save the photos in time, I save all my work, so please feel free to ask for a temporary re-upload.

What happens after I click the submit button on the interest form?

I’ll reach out and ask for your availability, and if applicable, ask you if there’s anything in particular you’re looking for from the photoshoot if you haven’t already mentioned it in the form.

Should I know anything about posing before the photoshoot?

You need not. Though it would be great preparation if you could look for inspiration online or in my photo gallery before a photoshoot so you can experiment on your own time with what you believe will make you look the best. If you let me know what poses you would like to replicate, I can make sure we get to them during our photoshoot. Please keep in mind that if you plan out poses beforehand, we might be able to take more photos and get to more locations as well if all I have to give you are minor adjustments.

Can I change into multiple outfits during the photoshoot?

Yes, but please understand the session timer will continue. Please make sure your outfit changes are punctual to avoid losing too much time for the photoshoot itself. We may not be able to reach the minimum delivery quota if you’re unavailable for the photos.

What if I don’t know where to go for the photoshoot?

Not to worry, I can help you decide and plan out the shoot! If you provide me with what you expect out of your photos, we can browse for locations that may suit your preferences and you can make the final decision.

How many locations can I choose for the photoshoot?

As many as you like, but please keep your locations within walking distance as the session timer will continue as we move from place to place. If there are multiple unique locations you want pictures at, please consider scheduling multiple sessions.

Can I have a longer photoshoot?

Yup, I charge hourly because I don’t like being too strict on time (unless I’m busy). I also offer free overtime if I enjoy your company or I feel like I don’t have enough shots to meet the minimum quota.

Do you offer budget friendlier options?

Unfortunately my base hourly rate remains as is, but there is no restriction to how short you want the photoshoot for. If for some reason you want a five minute shoot at one spot for 15 bucks, I’m totally down, but please let me know beforehand so I can coordinate with you on a day that’s convenient for the both of us otherwise travel fees will be required even within my free travel limit.

I do offer two alternatives to clients who care to read this far down:
1. If you can come up with an intriguing enough photo idea that I feel I absolutely need to have it in my portfolio, I will offer a discount or free extension to take that photo and publish it.
2. There may or may not be a discount code either on my website or my Instagram that tells you how to “hire” me for a significantly cheaper price… but that’s all I’ll say for now 🙂

Can I bring my friends along? Do you take group photos?

Yes, as many as you’d like. However, please keep in mind that I specialize in individual photography, and the more people you bring, the more time a specific shot will require. Therefore, the minimum shots quota might not be upheld. I have some experience in photographing groups and it turns out I don’t have to press my shutter button “harder” to take photos of more people, so the base rate will remain the same regardless of how many people you want in your group photos. If everyone in your group wants individual photos as well during our session, we may take those for no additional charge also.

Do you use flash?

Nope. Flash hurts my eyes way too much… and I’m BEHIND the camera. I’m a natural light photographer all the way… although maybe I can be convinced if you ask hard enough or if you have a really good photo idea that you’d like to try out.

Can I have the RAW or unedited files?

As an amateur photographer looking to share my passion for photography, I see no reason not to let you have your unedited photos if you wish to edit them yourself. There is an additional $50 charge, in exchange for an SD card that can be delivered to you or picked up. Please let me know before a shoot if you want the RAW files so I know to use a fresh SD card for you. If you would prefer instead a low resolution JPG export of all the unedited images, those can be provided for $20 and will be delivered to you via Google Drive. Jujube Leaflet takes no responsibility for the photos we don’t edit and I would appreciate it if you simply keep the RAW files or unedited JPG files and edits you make for personal use only.
