Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? No worries! I’m happy to provide answers and support. Browse the FAQ below or reach out to schedule a consultation. We’ll get to know each other and I’ll answer your questions to ensure we’re a good fit.
01. Are you really open 24/7?
I work by appointment only. This means that I recognize my clients have a wide variety of availability and work shifts that I try to accommodate. With notice, I can work on remote projects (websites, social media, graphics, marketing) any shift you need, any day of the week as well as day, night and even overnight. I’m happy to work with your schedule, even if that means 3am is the best time for you!
02. What is your schedule and hours?
I'm closed Sunday and Monday unless someone has booked me. Editing and office work is handled Tuesday and Wednesday.
My work has me in remote areas with little to no signal. Photo sessions are scheduled Thursday to Sunday, between 10am-dark. Sunset’s golden hour is highly recommended, but not required.
03. Where are you located?
Soul Gaze Photography is based in Glasgow, Kentucky. A small city with a classic charm, located about halfway between Louisville, Kentucky and Nashville, Tennessee. The nearest city being Bowling Green. This area is centrally located for a variety of activities from family fun to business endeavors. It’s also located less than an hour from the world’s longest cave, Mammoth Cave National Park, as well as a variety of other popular tourist destinations. It is here that photo sessions and design inspiration exceed expectations.
04. Where do you do your work?
Photography and fine art commissions are provided on-location. Design & marketing is provided remotely, but can be in-person if needed. Sessions can be at one or multiple locations, as needed. I can also help you select the ideal location for your needs.
05. Do you travel?
I love to travel! Locations in Barren and surrounding counties are included with no travel fee. Locations beyond this may require a minimal travel fee. Some locations are on my bucket list and will be fee-free, just cover transportation, lodging and related expenses.
06. Can clients choose the location?
Of course! The location plays a significant role in creating unique and personalized photos. We'll work together to determine the perfect location. The time of day can affect a location, but we'll plan accordingly.
NOTICE: Client is responsible for all permits, fees and limitations at the location.
07. How do I request a quote?
If you need a quick price estimate, contact me to request a quote. Please provide all relevant details such as the type of service needed, length of time needed and all locations as well as any other details I should know.
08. What are consultations?
Consultations are informal meetings so we can get to know each other before moving forward. We’ll discuss your needs and goals while I answer your questions. You may schedule it by phone, video call or in-person at a local coffee shop or restaurant. Consultations are optional, however they are HIGHLY recommended. Some people just don’t vibe well. To discuss your project in detail, please schedule a consult.
09. How do I book?
Booking a consultation, photography or a design project is a straightforward process with no hidden fees or spooky steps.
Visit the booking site and schedule a consultation to answer any questions and ensure the most detailed level of service possible. You may also schedule a session or design service from the same site when ready to move forward. Choose the best date and time for your schedule and then book online. It's fast and easy!
10. What payment options do you accept?
Cash, Venmo, PayPal, major credit cards, local bank deposit, and check. Projects have the option of utilizing an early pay discount as well as no-interest payment plans.
NOTICE: Due to bounced checks, all payments by check must clear bank prior to moving forward with projects or delivery of final photos, prints, or design work.
11. What if I need to reschedule or want to cancel?
Let me know asap! As long as you inform me, there won’t be a fee. Just don’t do it excessively because that’s rude and we’ll have to have a talk. Like dating, you don’t show up or keep in touch — we’re breaking up. If you don’t inform m and fail to show up, there is a $100 fee. I will make exceptions to this fee for emergencies, with proof. Your situation will be kept confidential.
12. How long does a photo session last?
The duration of a photo session varies, depending on the type and scope of the project. It's important to provide ample time to ensure you feel relaxed and comfortable without feeling rushed.
13. What happens if the weather is unfavorable on the day of an outdoor shoot?
If the weather doesn't cooperate, we can try to find an alternate location or reschedule. I'm flexible and won't charge a fee if it's due to weather. Your safety is my priority. As a trained spotter, I will be monitoring weather conditions.
14. How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
The editing process typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. It's important to not rush the process to ensure the best quality edits. Larger projects take more time and smaller projects take less. If you have a specific deadline, please inform me prior to booking so I can ensure I'll have the availability.
15. How do you handle editing and delivery?
You'll have the opportunity to see the images and choose which ones to keep and which ones to delete. Images are professionally edited to enhance quality, and retouched to remove blemishes.
High-resolution, print-ready images are delivered digitally in a password-protected online gallery. Friends and family can be authorized to place orders. A print release is included for personal printing use. If desired, professional prints and products, along with personal order assistance, are available upon request.
16. Do you provide referrals?
Gladly! I believe strongly in community over competition. There’s plenty of work to go around, if we network together. If you don’t vibe with my style, but still need a photographer or designer, send me a message.
FYI — I recommend service providers in Barren and surrounding counties, but am not responsible for your experience or results working ith them. Be sure to protect yourself by checking reviews, reading their contracts carefully and ensuring their local license, as well as insurance, is current.
