Hello! I'm Kseniia. For over a decade, I have had the incredible privilege of capturing life's most intimate and cherished moments through my lens. My journey as a photographer has been deeply fulfilling, specializing in headshots, personal photo sessions, family photo sessions, love stories, and capturing the beautiful essence of pregnancy through dedicated photo sessions. The art of capturing a person's essence in a head shot is a delicate dance. It's about more than just capturing a face; it's about revealing the personality and story behind those eyes, each headshot telling a unique tale. Whether it's for professionals, actors, or indivi

Your photography questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

How much does a photographer cost?

The average cost to hire a photographer is $100 to $250 per hour, depending on their experience. However, photography prices vary significantly depending on the type of event or photo session:

Do you tip photographers?

The standard tipping etiquette for photographers depends on the type of photo session or event and how happy you are with the photographer's service:

  • Tip a wedding photographer $50 to $200 if the photographer exceeds your expectations. If the photographer works with a second shooter, be sure to tip the second photographer separately.
  • Consider tipping a family portrait photographer, pet photographer, or newborn photographer if you're happy with the photo session. However, tipping is not expected for family portraits taken at a big box store like JC Penney or Wal-Mart.
  • Tipping a photographer is not expected for headshots, commercial photography, real estate photography, or architectural photos.

If you're happy with the photographer's service, post a positive review online and share their photos on your social media.

How can I save money on a photographer?

Follow these tips to save money when you hire a photographer:

  • Book a "mini-session" – a shorter photo session that lasts only 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Choose your favorite photographers and follow them on social media. Some photographers may provide deals and exclusive offers.
  • Hire a less experienced photographer. However, be sure to review their portfolio to confirm they have enough skill to meet your photo needs.
  • Purchase prints from an online retailer instead of ordering them from the photographer.
  • Bundle multiple photo sessions for a discounted price. Some wedding photographers bundle engagement and wedding photos. Other photographers offer a bundle for newborn photos plus additional sessions as your child grows.

How far in advance should I book a photographer?

Book a wedding photographer as early as possible, ideally as soon as you've confirmed the date with your venue. Headshot, commercial, pet, and family portrait photographers typically don't require as much advanced notice. However, a popular, in-demand photographer may be booked out several months in advance.

How can I find the best photographer near me?

Follow these guidelines when searching for a photographer to ensure you find one who is the best match for you:

  • Look for photographers who specialize in the type of photography you want. A photographer who specializes in weddings won't be the best choice for a newborn baby photo shoot, and vice versa.
  • Review their online portfolios to confirm you like their photography style and aesthetic.
  • Read photographer reviews on Fash and Google.
  • Get a contract in writing before making a deposit.
  • Discuss the photo usage and printing rights to confirm how both you and the photographer can use the images. Photographers typically retain the copyright to the images, allowing them to use the photos for marketing and social media.

What questions should I ask a photographer?

Ask these questions to help you choose the best photographer for your needs:

  • How long have you been in business?
  • What type of photography do you specialize in?
  • What is your photography style?
  • Do you have an online portfolio I can view?
  • How far in advance should I book my photo shoot?
  • What deposit do you require, and is it refundable?
  • Do you have a photo studio? If not, where will you take the photos?
  • What should I do to prepare for the photo session?
  • How will you deliver the final photos to me?
  • How long will it take to get the photos?
  • Do you offer printed items or photo albums?
  • Who owns the rights to the photos?
  • Will you use my images on social media or your website portfolio?

Barbara W.
Everything! I called Jason late in the week prior to my shoot, which we were able to book on the following Monday--so great that he could get me in so soon for this session. His studio is the best, great vibe, great playlist, great setup--and Jason was great throughout the session--very professional and knowledgeable, guiding me through poses/stands/looks. It was a terrific experience-we were done in just under an hour and he had my my proofs via e-mail (which were fabulous!) the same evening!! Five stars for this photographer!

Wendy is a terrific photographer! (and person) She did our wedding photos and they were FANTASTIC! I was blown away! She is low keyed and very reassuring. My husband, who is a little "camera stiff" came out looking so incredibly natural. We learned she used to photograph for NBC and the Tonight Show, so we thought she must be good if they hired her. We couldn't have been happier! Thank you Wendy!

I had the pleasure of working alongside Mikey at a wedding; and I can attest that he is an absolute professional, talented, and hard working photographer/videographer. I caught a glimpse at some of his drone footage of the couple, and I was really impressed by the quality...and this was before editing! If you're looking for someone who can offer you a complete media package for your special event along with an upbeat personality, Mikey is your guy!

Anna is incredibly skilled and so much fun to work with. We are so grateful we found her -- she is a wizard with lighting, concepts, humans, she really loves what she does and makes people look and feel their best at a photo shoot. It's no wonder she has attracted such legendary clientele in the entertainment world -- Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Ice Cube, Cheech & Chong, Adrian Brody, STEVE MARTIN, Metta World Peace, etc.... along with many fashion brands. It was just one look at her website, Anna is definitely IT for us.
