Client Testimonial
"Informative words to go with the best pictures in Florida! You people really know what you're doing, and I have not found a single photographer in my daughters modeling career who can match your professional skill in photography or extensive knowledge of the business. I enjoy reading your developments section to see what is going on with you. "
-John, a father from Tampa Bay, Florida

Monday, January 30, 2006 - Rates Adjusted

Our rates have been adjusted, with new services and client support benefits taken into account. Rates for wedding photography have doubled, and this is the only large increase done with this rate adjustment (we will showcase new wedding pictures shortly).

Rates that were quoted before today are now longer valid, although we will honor rates that are locked by services that have been booked and rates quoted on the consultations that we have pending for this week.

Note to aspiring (beginning) models: We do not offer TFP or free services, although we do offer reduced-rate model testing sessions. There seems to be a little confusion with some people that we offer free TFP shoots and will help a model build a portfolio at no charge. This is not the case. We are a business, and not a charity. If you sincerely want professional portfolios and tools (and you NEED them), you must invest in them.

Note to professional, established models (those with professional portfolios and composite cards who have no need for portfolio photography): We do not offer free (TFP) services, although we do have an ongoing stock photography program and the occasional model print job that you may be interested in.
We can only consider professional models for any model job or our stock photography program. If you do not have composite cards or a portfolio, we recommend that you invest in them somewhere. If you don’t, we will see what you have, but you may not be able to compete with the professionals who are using professional tools.
