FAQ
Do you shoot destination photoshoots?
Yes, I shoot destination locations. However, I factor that into additional costs if the location is more than to typical drive. However, if there a multiple individuals at the same destination, then those travel fees get less and less.
How do you I make payments?
I offer payments through Zelle, Paypal and Venmo.
Can I extend the session on the day of?
100% Yes if the time-slot is available.
Do you just do modeling photography, or do you photograph other things as well?
I do corporate headshots, wedding videography, graduation photos, sports photos/videos, maternity photos, and engagement photos.
Do you provide Makeup?
No, I do not personally provide a Makeup service. However, if I am traveling to specific desinations, I will have a makeup artist I trust come along with me, or will be in the area, that clients can book independently. This is something I highly stress to have done, since makeup will really bring out the best in the final photo product(s). Also it is a stress the client doesn't have to do themselves when the time comes. It's easier to sit, relax, and have a professional make you shine for your shoot.
Do I have to order prints through you?
No, you can print your edited shots anywhere you'd like. But I do provide that that option/service.
Is a Deposit Required?
Yes, a 50% deposit is required when booking your shoot. The deposit is non-refundable, as it covers the cost of expenses of your booked shoot.
When is the rest of the Payment for the shoot due?
The day of the shoot. Clients will not receive edits or samples until payment is provided.
If I cannot make my scheduled shoot, can I make it up to not lose my deposit?
In special cases, I will offer a rescheduling of your desired shoot. You will have a 1-time within 4 months to makeup your shoot or you will lose your original deposit. If I am doing an Exclusive shoot, within a studio, that requires materials, cleanup crew/materials, travel expenses, then there is no refund or deposit transfer to a future shoot. Reason being, specialty Exclusive shoots don't happen each time I visit the same city/location. So the deposit goes towards costs for THAT specific shoot that was being booked, not a possible future one.
How soon do I get my edited photos?
The standard timeframe to get the basic 1hr package edited shots is 3-4wks for high-photoshoot months, and 2-3 weeks for low-photoshoot months. Add another week if Video was added.
If I order extra edits, do I get them at the same time as the normal edit set?
I always edit the basic amount first, so that all clients get some shots at the same time (when I have multiple clients shooting during the same duration of time). After that initial 3-4 weeks, is when I start tackling all other extra edits/content that clients selected for their package add-ons. That typically takes another 3-4 weeks to finalize.
Do you sell your unedited photos to the client?
I always offer to sell the entire unedited set to the client. The price does vary, depending on how many shots were taken, and I will always allow the client to purchase all the photos.
Are you Insured/Licensed?
Yes, 100% insured, licensed, with full liability. A proper professional business should always have every based covered.
Do I own the photos once I get receive them?
Short answer, no. Ownership and Rights belong to the photographer (Marek Piecyk). The photographer can use any in any matter to aid in advertising, behind the scenes, and/or promotions.
