Questions

Frequent Questions

Why do you spend a day in my business first?

Because a plan built only on a phone call misses how things really run. Before I write a proposal, I spend one full day of your open hours working alongside you — the counter, the phones, the jobsite — and build the photos and website around what I see. Every client gets it, and it’s part of the price, not an add-on.

How much does a website cost?

Roots, a site of up to 2 pages, is $1,000. Branch (up to 5 pages) and Canopy (up to 10) are priced once the scope is set — call for pricing. Prices are before NC sales tax, and a care plan at $30 a month covers hosting.

Do I have to buy a package?

No. Photography and websites are booked separately, so you can have either one or both. The one requirement is a care plan on every website — it covers your hosting.

What areas do you cover?

Photography is in person, so it covers Denver, Lincolnton, Huntersville, Cornelius, Mooresville, Davidson, Charlotte and the rest of the Lake Norman area. Website work can be done for clients anywhere.

How does payment work?

Every plan works the same way: 50% to book and hold your dates, and the remaining balance before the site goes live on your domain. That is the whole schedule — there is nothing split into monthly payments on any tier. Figures are before NC sales tax, and a quote holds for 30 days.

Is hosting included?

Hosting is part of the care plan, which is why every website needs one. It is $30 a month, billed month to month from the day the site goes live, and covers hosting, SSL and software updates plus up to two hours of changes. Larger edits are billed at $50/hr.
