Image Subscription Plans

Running a business is hard work! It takes a lot of time and dedication to keep things going according to plan, and a ton of things to do behind the scenes. Managing your social media presence is an added task often required to reach new clients that can easily become overwhelming.

One way to alleviate some of the stress is having a bank of images to choose from—especially when they are custom to your business needs. Choosing to invest in an image subscription for your business means that you will always have curated images to publish to your social media accounts and website and that they will always be consistent and on-point with your brand, so all you have to do is pick the best captions.

I would love to work with you and help you make navigating the world of social media that much easier.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is this only for makers? What about service providers who don’t sell tangible products?

The resulting images can absolutely be used by non-shops as well who want UNIQUE branded photography for their social media, advertising etc. giving you a CUSTOM bank of ‘stock’ images. For example, a business coach may send items like a notebook and a branded coffee mug, etc. to be photographed with their brand colours (ex: pink & gold or black & white) OR an artist might send a few supplies. The planning session will hash out all of the details for each month’s shoot.

How many products can I send?

It is recommended to plan for 5-10 images per product in order to adequately showcase the product to potential buyers, in order to capture all of the angles, uses, etc. If you choose to only send one product for the month, the photographer will capture that product in more than one scenario to add variety to your gallery. For custom ‘stock’ images, you may send an unlimited number of props/accessories, but the photographer reserves creative liberty on which and how many to use in any given image. You have the opportunity to make requests and state preferences during the planning calls, and you may choose to change month-to-month or remain the same for continuity.

Are models included? 

To upgrade one month’s session to include model(s), an additional fee of $100 per adult model will apply. To upgrade the entire subscription to include model(s), an additional fee of $75 per adult model, per month will apply. Model specifics and requirements must be discussed at least one month in advance so that you and your photographer can plan accordingly (no guarantees, no fees will apply if model(s) cannot be used). Case-by-case model fees will apply for minors and babies. Due to pandemic restrictions, not all types of models will be available—please inquire for specifics.

Can I be the ‘model’? I’d love some images for about-me posts and behind-the-scenes captures.

You are more than welcome to add a branding session to your image subscription, sign up for an annual branding session membership (quarterly, monthly, or seasonally), or we can create a specific package for you that includes branding and product photography. The photo studio is located in Almonte, Ontario, or I can come to your place of business within Canada with travel expenses paid. Please reach out to get a custom quote for your business.

What if I would like additional images during a subscription month? 

You may choose to upgrade the number of images fulfilled in any given month to a larger subscription option or to purchase individual images in surplus of your subscription package (pro-rated). These details are to be discussed during the planning sessions each month. 

How can I use the images? Can I edit them?

The pricing above is for a limited commercial release to use on social media (Instagram, Facebook, etc.) and your business website as-is (each image is professionally retouched and true-to-colour, no matter which style you request). An upgraded commercial license can be purchased for use on third-party websites (Etsy, Amazon, etc.). In order to be able to edit the images beyond minor cropping (removing background, retouching skin/product, adding filters/presets, etc., all of which are available for me to do for you), requires a full commercial license (they can be purchased individually or the entire subscription can be upgraded).

Do I pay monthly or the full plan in advance?

Since the subscription fees are extremely reduced rates, you are required to pay in installments of 3 months at a time in full when you sign up for the service in order to guarantee that the rates do not change during your subscription period, and any accumulated discounts are removed from the final payment. When renewing an annual plan (12 months), you qualify for monthly payments. When paying in full for your annual subscription upon signup, you qualify for a bonus vertical video (for reels/tiktoks, etc.) added to every gallery, in addition to VIP status for gallery retouching/deliveries. You may also choose to only book one product photography session at a time, at the regular rates. All fees are listed in Canadian dollars.

When do I receive the images?

Your images are delivered electronically by the 1st of every month as part of your subscription. Example: items received in November will be photographed & images delivered by the end of the month so that when you open your gallery on December 1st the images will be ready for download. Rush delivery is also available during non-peak periods, for an additional fee.

When do I send my products? 

Products must be delivered to the studio no later than the 10th day of each month. It is recommended to mail your items earlier rather than later to avoid delays. It is strongly suggested that you send your seasonal items at least 2-3 months before the holiday in order to receive them in time for advance marketing. For example, I most often receive Christmas-themed items from June through September.

Where do I mail my products? 

The portrait studio is located in the beautiful Hallmark town of Almonte just outside of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and the exact mailing address will be provided after signing up for the subscription. Drop-offs may also be arranged for locals.

Will my products be returned to me? 

Due to the nature of staging, modeling, and general use, some wear and tear of your items is to be expected, and therefore the items are NOT returned unless explicitly requested. Should you wish to send reusable props for the duration of your subscription that you would like to be returned, or if your products are non-consumables and you would like them back, it is your responsibility to provide a pre-paid return shipping label (with tracking) with your initial shipment. Your photographer is also not liable for loss or damage during the photography or shipping process.

What if my products arrive late? 

If your products arrive after the 10th, but before the 15th of the month, a service fee of $100 will be due to rush photography services for that month. Should your items arrive on or after the 15th of the month, photography services will be considered rendered that month and no refund will be offered (if we have other items of yours at the studio, those may be photographed again as an alternate solution). You may choose to have the late-arrival items photographed the next month, or you may choose to have them returned to you by providing a pre-paid return shipping label (with tracking).
