Creative Process & Pricing
My pricing is a direct reflection of my work ethic, the quality of my professional-grade equipment, and two decades of technical mastery. Every project is approached with an eye for detail that ensures your final assets are elevated and impactful.
Consultation: Every shoot begins with a discovery phase to ensure our visions align.
The Shoot: A professional, inclusive, and communicative environment.
The Edit: Where the raw moments are transformed into a polished, finished product.
Reservation of Time: By securing a session with Charrié Creative, you are reserving a specific block of time on my calendar. Because this prevents me from accepting other bookings for that period, all dates are held on an exclusive basis. This allows for total presence and dedication to your specific event or portrait needs.
Deliverables
Only polished, high-resolution images are delivered—no raw files.
To maintain the integrity of the Charrie Creative brand, I provide only finished, high-resolution edited assets.
A Note on RAW Files: RAW images are the "ingredients," not the meal. They are an unfinished, unrefined product. To ensure the highest standard of quality and artistic consistency, I do not release RAW files without the purchase of commercial licensing or copyrights. My clients hire me for my specific "look" and editing expertise, and the final gallery represents the completion of that artistic promise.
It is important for clients to understand the legal distinction between owning a photo and having the right to use it.
Copyright: Under federal law, the copyright of an image belongs to the creator (the photographer) from the moment the shutter is pressed. This includes the right to use the images for self-promotion and portfolio display.
Usage Rights (Standard): Every client receives a "Personal & Organic Social Media" license. This allows you to post the photos on your personal or business social media feeds and website.
Commercial Licensing: If you intend to use the images for paid advertisements, billboards, product packaging, or large-scale retail marketing, a Commercial Licensing Fee is required. This fee covers the increased value the images provide to your business's revenue.
Buyouts: A buyout refers to the media created under an NDA such as photography during and event or footage of training, speeches, etc containing sensitive information that will not be allowed to be shared or used by myself or my team for self promotion, marketing, posting, etc. This is similar to buying the copyright to the media.
