How My Quote Form Works
(and Why It’s So Detailed)
I know my enquiry form looks a bit long — but it’s designed that way for a reason. It helps me gather everything I need upfront, so I can give you an accurate quote straight away and avoid all the back-and-forth emails later. Here’s a quick breakdown of what each section is for and what happens after you submit it.
Personal Information
Your details are safe with me. I’ll only ever contact you about your project — no newsletters, upselling, or pushy follow-ups. As I mention in the FAQ, I don’t share my phone number with potential clients. Once you become an established client, I’ll save your number so if you call while I’m working on your order, I know it’s you and can prioritise picking up.
Location Options
If it makes your life easier, I can photograph your products at your location for an additional £50 setup fee (which covers travel and setup within 20 miles of Harrogate). That said, I can usually work more efficiently and comfortably from my home studio, where I have everything I need at hand and can shoot at my own pace.
Choosing a Base Package
Your initial quote is calculated based on the largest shot count available within the package you choose (for example, 45 shots in the Plenty package). Once your shoot is complete, I’ll double-check everything and adjust your final invoice to reflect the exact number of images we actually used, so you’ll only ever pay for what you received.
Additional Information
The “Additional Information” box on the enquiry form is your space to tell me anything extra that will help me plan your shoot.
This is where you can:
-
Specify the urgency or ideal completion date for your project
-
Mention image ratios (square, landscape, portrait, etc.) — this is important because I style and compose each shot based on the final image format
-
Add any special requests or ideas
-
Share your Pinterest mood board link
-
Or upload reference photos to show the look and feel you’re going for
Booking Confirmation & Deposit
Once I receive your enquiry, I’ll put together your paperwork.
You’ll receive:
-
A booking confirmation with all the details you’ve provided
-
A client contract outlining the shoot plan and terms & conditions
-
I’ll also email your 30% deposit invoice, and once that’s paid, your project is officially booked into my schedule.
Please note: payment of the deposit confirms your agreement to the Terms and Conditions and secures your session date.
The Shoot and Image Delivery
After the shoot, I clean up every image to remove dust and crop them to your requested specifications. I usually begin editing the following day, ensuring a fast turnaround.
When your images are ready, you’ll receive a secure link and password to view the watermarked final photos, along with your balance invoice.
Once the final payment is made, I’ll send your completed images via a WeTransfer download link — ready for you to use and promote your products.
Returning Your Products
If you choose to send your items to me, after the shoot I carefully pack your products for collection. If you prefer, I can arrange a DPD courier return, and the cost will be added to your final invoice. Alternatively, you’re welcome to book your own courier to collect the parcel from me.
