Question 1

Are you an insured business and do you guarantee your work?

Accepted Answer

I hold a current public liability insurance certificate. I hold a current "Positive Notice Blue Card" Working with Children Check issued by Queensland Government.

Question 2

How did you decide to get into your line of work?

Accepted Answer

I wanted to record my children's lives so I started taking photos every day. I realised how much I loved it, I set about learning the skills and understanding light in order to create beautiful, timeless images. Photography is my passion, my love and my joy. I can't image life without it.

Question 3

Do you have a favourite customer story you would like to share?

Accepted Answer

I received an email from a teenager telling me she has no confidence, all she saw was ugliness when she looked in the mirror... I told her I must meet and photograph her and show her what her family and friends saw. She loved the experience, she loved her images, she is now a confident young woman.

Question 4

What do you like most about your job?

Accepted Answer

Photographing faces. I love capturing expressions, those quirky smiles, giggling children, serious stares and sparkling eyes. Everyone has a unique personality and I love being able to showcase that.

Question 5

What questions should a customer ask to hire the right service professional?

Accepted Answer

Take a look at my work, if you like what you see then I am the right person for you.

Question 6

What questions do customers commonly ask and how would you answer them?

Accepted Answer

If you're saying to yourself "I'll book a portrait session when I... loose weight; get my hair cut; the kids are a little older; save the money..." Stop. That day won't come. The perfect time is NOW, if you miss the opportunity to capture you or your family right now, you may regret it.

Question 7

What makes you the most reliable and trustworthy person for the job?

Accepted Answer

I am patient, my client's often tell me I have the patience of a saint. I pay attention to detail to ensure each image is perfect for you. I talk to you like you are a real person (don't laugh, lots of people lack this skill!).

Question 8

Why should a customer hire you over another service provider?

Accepted Answer

I am an AIPP Accredited Professional Photographer.  What does this mean for you? An Accredited Professional is trained, skilled and educated. The status of an Accredited Professional is recognition that your photographer is committed to providing a professional service every time.

Question 9

What are the typical things that you need to know before you can provide a quote to a customer?

Accepted Answer

How many people are you wanting photographed? What is your preferred date and time for your photography portrait session? Are you celebrating a special occasion?

Question 10

How can a customer save money before you start the work? Please give 3 tips

Accepted Answer

Ask lots of questions; talk to me about what to wear and most importantly tell me what type/style of photography you love so we can create, what will become, your favourite images during our portrait session.

Question 11

Are there any special offers you would like to offer to Oneflare customers?

Accepted Answer

Oneflare customers - I offer your entire sitting fee ($250) refunded back to you when you refer a friend who books with me.

Question 12

What makes your pricing competitive?

Accepted Answer

I have trained and operate as a professional photographer. I provide life-time guaranteed prints and products. I believe you get what you pay for - so if you want a disc of 'standard' images for $50 there are plenty of people out there who will give you that; if you want perfection, hire me.

Question 13

How do you normally charge for your service?

Accepted Answer

I charge $250 for a portrait sitting and offer affordable print packages for everyone. I believe all images should be printed and displayed rather than stored on a computer where no one will see them. "Print what you want to preserve".

Question 14

Is there a particular aspect of your trade or industry that you specialise in?

Accepted Answer

I love photographing children. There is something unique about each and every face and I capture their personality through my lens.  My second love is photographing people who wish to celebrate a milestone in their life: becoming single, turning 30, 40, 50 or beyond - any excuse is a good one!

Question 15

What experience, skills, qualifications or training do you have to make you the right person for the job?

Accepted Answer

An Accredited Professional Photographer is trained, skilled and educated. We undergo continued professional development (CPD) every year to ensure our business skills, technical skills and services are up to date. Never stop learning is my mantra.
