With 18 years experience, and an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, my artistic and technical capabilities result in your images being composed with an experienced and creative eye, that exceed your expectations.

Photography Services: 

The fees for photography services which includes consultation, the photo shoot, the editing process and preparation of the on-line web gallery, as described below, are charged at a flat rate. 50% is due upon the booking of the shoot and the balance is due upon release of the on-line web gallery, that is created for your viewing and selection process.

Consultation: 

 Part of creating your photo shoot can involve location scouting, gathering of any needed props and discussion and selection of attire as well as styling of the shoot.

Photo shoot: 

Either in-studio or on-location. When needed, the shoot may include a photography assistant, who manages lighting, assists with styling and attends to the computer analysis of the images as they are taken, thus ensuring optimum quality and that all ideal shots are captured.

Editing: 

The selection of the best images and their preparation for your presentation is as important as your photo shoot. Typically the time spent is as long as, or longer than the actual shooting time, as critical decisions are made regarding the look and feel of each image as well as the latest software being creatively used to enhance them.

Presentation: 

An on-line web gallery is created for you to view your images, from which you select the ones you would like to be “finished”, before they are released to you.

Post Production Fees: 

The images you have chosen are released after they have been “finished” to the standard and style set by Andrea Hillebrand. The rate to “finish” images as described above, is charged at a flat rate. Those images are then released and e-mailed as 4x6 high res and full size jpegs. Original images remain the property of Andrea Hillebrand, Photographer.

Product Shots:

Typically an in-studio photo shoot, against a white background, of products for website use. It involves a careful setup of lighting to enhance the product while working with any potential glare. Images are carefully selected and any necessary editing is done to enhance the image. Any “finish” work such as whether the product needs to be cut out form the background is done before the images are released as digital files, for your website and advertising purposes.

Staff Portraits within an office Setting: 

An on-location photo shoot that involves a planning visit to evaluate the spaces to be photographed and determine the best colors for people to wear. Each shot is expertly set-up with any necessary lighting equipment and the images are shot directly into a laptop for on-site evaluation. Images are selected and any necessary editing is done to enhance the image. Client chosen images are then “finished” and released in digital files, for website and advertising purposes.

Business Portraits: 

Preferably an on-location photo shoot, creating a portrait that portrays you in your business environment and tells an instant story about what you do and who you are. Charged at a flat rate, this service includes one “finished” image and is released in a digital file, for website and advertising purposes.

Personal Portraits: 

Portraits created for personal use as gifts, or for social media sites are planned with a discussion of outfits and settings that will convey you and your personality. Charged at a rate based on how many looks are created, the images are edited and an on-line web gallery is prepared. Each selected image is charged at a flat rate which includes all necessary “finish” work and includes an 8x10 custom printed enlargement. The image is released as a digital file for your personal use.

Composites for Models and Fashion Shoots:   

A multiple location photo shoot, that begins with consultations regarding clothing choices to create different “looks” and location scouting. Hair and make-up artists can be referred. Images are selected and any necessary editing is done to enhance the image. Given the images are more fashion oriented, typically double the time is spent in this very creative editing process. Client chosen images are then “finished” and prepared for design and printing of a composite. They are also released in digital files for website and advertising purposes as well as Facebook.

Family Portraits and Children's Photography: 

Shot on-location, a series of images are captured that tell a story of the different relationships between the family members. Portraits are done of the children individually and together and the parents with each of their children and themselves. An extensive edit is done turning some to b&w and playing with the colors in others, to show all the possibilities in the on-line web gallery. Each selected image is charged at a flat rate which includes all necessary “finish” work, an 8x10 custom printed enlargement and the image released in digital file to post on Facebook.
