"Trade Time" Guidelines:
I am open to helping new models develop their portfolios but over time I've developed the following guidelines in order to keep things fair for everyone involved.
1) I require at least 24hrs notice before canceling a shoot. I spend weeks planning concepts, scouting locations, scheduling a crew and getting the proper location releases. I will not reschedule a model that cancels less than 24 hours in advance.
2) I require all models to sign an industry standard model release form. You can view or download a copy of my form at:

3) My standard "Trade Time" agreement includes the delivery of 3-5 images TOTAL. I will review the proofs, choose the 3-5 images, post process the final images and post the high resolution final images for you to download.
Any additional images, physical CD's or prints will be charged and are not included in my Trade Time work.
Escorts:
I absolutely encourage you to bring an escort or chaperon if it makes you feel more comfortable, especially if you've never met or shot with me before. I've heard too many horror stories from models about rude or creepy photographers and I would be very leery of anyone who tells you otherwise. Just be forewarned that I will probably put your escort to work ;-)
MUA/Wardrobe Stylists:
Stylists are an integral part of creating awesome images and I always try to incorporate at least one of the two on every shoot. I have a few select people that I've worked with before and provide great work but if you have someone you feel comfortable with by all means book them.
Cancellations:
I spend a LOT of time planning my images. I typically book more than a few weeks in advance so that I have time to come up with concepts, scout locations and book a crew. I pay $40/hour for studio time. I understand that stuff comes up and when it does, PLEASE make every effort to cancel or reschedule AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I have to pay crew members whether you show up or not so flaking the day of a shoot is absolutely not tolerated.
