FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS

WHEN AND WHERE ARE IN-PERSON MENTOR SESSIONS GOING TO BE?

We can schedule an online mentorship with you as soon as a week in advance. Keep in mind that if you want to meet in-person, there might be more preparation required and half-day openings could be limited. But don't worry, you should still be able to secure a spot within a month.

HOW SOON ARE YOU AVAILABLE FOR AN ONLINE MENTORSHIP?

Whether you're a novice or an experienced photographer, you can benefit from this opportunity. It's a chance to receive constructive feedback and guidance on your work, workflow, and editing techniques. Additionally, you can also inquire about our processes and systems.

HOW EXPERIENCED DO YOU NEED TO BE AS A PHOTOGRAPHER?

We do! Offering a variety of options for our clients is something we always value. For example, we offer a 2-month and 4-month payment plan (on auto-pay)! To solidify a date, 50% is due upon booking, and the rest can be paid according to your payment plan preference.

DEPOSIT INFORMATION AND PAYMENT PLAN OPTIONS?

If your goal is to concentrate on a particular aspect of photography, an afternoon session would be a great choice. However, if you prefer to explore multiple topics, receive immediate feedback on posing, want to workshop your style/editing/etc., then a Half-Day session would be more suitable for you.

WHICH MENTOR SESSION TYPE SHOULD I CHOOSE?

With Apples real-time voice messaging feature, you can get personalized feedback without meeting in person. This means you can stay motivated and on track with regular check-ins and support with excellent flexibility.

WHAT'S THE BENEFIT OF VOICE MESSAGING ACCESS?

In-person mentor sessions take place at our office in Downtown Pittsburgh, PA and if you choose a Half-Day session, we will be in the Pittsburgh area for the styled portion of your day and stop by a nearby coffee shop to edit the images together before parting ways!
