Frequently asked

• Send a request through the booking page.
• I review it and send your quote. Complex projects start with a short scope call.
• Your date is held once you sign your agreement and pay the 50% retainer.

Use the package finder. It asks a few questions and builds a plan around your goals and budget, then carries it over to the booking page. You can also choose "Not sure yet" on the booking page and I'll help you pick.

Most projects are booked 2 to 3 weeks out, depending on scope. Simple projects can often be booked sooner, while larger projects and busy seasons may need more lead time. If your date is sooner, send a request anyway and I'll let you know if I can fit it in.

Scope calls are for larger or more complex projects, like multi-camera events, monthly plans, or projects with several services. Anyone can request one, but complex projects are scheduled first.

No. Your date is only held once your agreement is signed and your retainer is paid.

I'm based in Houston, Texas. Travel within 30 miles is included. Farther trips have a flat travel fee based on distance, listed in the terms.

Your final price depends on what you add, like extra camera angles, rush delivery, or travel. Your quote is confirmed before you book, and it's good for 30 days.

A 50% non-refundable payment that reserves your date and covers planning and prep. It goes toward your project total.

Yes. Projects over $2,000 can use pay in 4: the 50% retainer, then 3 equal payments on shoot day, at first draft, and at final delivery.

Invoices are sent through Stripe. You can pay by card or bank transfer.

Before your final files are released. Invoices are due within 7 days of being sent.

Rush delivery is discounted when you add it to 2 or more services: 25% each instead of 30%. The package finder can also suggest bundles and phased plans to fit your budget.

• 1 camera: one main angle. Clean and simple, great for talking-head videos and podcasts.
• Multi-angle: extra camera angles so the edit can cut between views. +$200.
• Matched cameras: matched cinema cameras, so every angle has the same look and color. +$450 from multi-angle, or +$650 from 1 camera. The rental is included.

• Editing movement: slow push-ins, punch-ins, and reframes added in the edit to keep a video engaging. It's only used if it fits your style, and we'll confirm it with you before editing. No extra cost.
• Live camera movement: moving shots filmed on a gimbal or handheld. Included in top-tier packages, and +$150 on others.

Yes. Professional lighting and microphones are part of every shoot. For events, performances, and livestreams, you can add a wireless speech mic for $150 or crowd and room mics for $100.

Not right now.

A retro finish for your edit, inspired by film, VHS, and polaroid styles. It works well for recaps and storytelling videos, or any project where you want a stylized, more custom look. +$100.

• Confirm access to your location, and any permits you need.
• Share your location with me at least 72 hours before your shoot. See the next question.
• Get permission from the people you'd like filmed.
• Have someone on site who can make decisions and help with access.

After you book, I'll send prep notes for your shoot.

Yes. Seeing the space ahead of time helps me plan my setup, lighting, and camera positions. At least 72 hours before your shoot, I'll need one of these:

• Access to visit the location in person.
• Clear photos or a video walkthrough of the space.

For live performances, larger events, and livestreams, yes. This mostly applies to artists' performances and bigger, more complex productions.

• Rehearsal: I watch the run-through to learn the flow of the show, plan camera angles, and catch timing or lighting needs.
• Walkthrough: when there's nothing to rehearse, I visit the venue to check lighting and power and plan where cameras go. For livestreams, I also test the internet connection.

I may do one or both, depending on your project and the access available.

You'll need to arrange access for the agreed date. If the visit is canceled, moved past the agreed date, or I can't get into the venue, it counts as complete and isn't refunded.

For performances, larger events, and livestreams, it's strongly recommended. A rehearsal or walkthrough helps me:

• Catch every key moment: knowing the order of the show and its cues means I'm in the right spot for entrances, big songs, speeches, and reactions.
• Plan camera positions: I can find the best angles and clear sightlines without blocking guests or the audience.
• Check lighting, power, and sound: I can plan for dim rooms, stage lights, outlets, and a soundboard audio feed ahead of time.
• Test the internet for livestreams: so your stream starts smoothly and stays stable.
• Set up faster on the day: fewer surprises means less time setting up and more time capturing your event.

If your event doesn't have a rehearsal, a walkthrough of the venue works too. If neither is possible, send me a run of show or setlist, plus photos or a video of the space, at least 72 hours before. Without these, I'll plan coverage from what I can see on the day, and some moments or angles may be missed.

Have the people being interviewed prepare ahead of time. Knowing what they want to share helps them feel relaxed on camera and keeps shoot day running smoothly. They don't need a script, just a few key points they'd like to cover.

Extra time is $150 an hour, when my schedule allows. Your booked time starts at the scheduled start, even if things begin late.
