What can I expect from working with you?



I try to keep my process as simple as possible while remaining flexible to suit your needs. You may be as involved as you'd like in the culling process but if you would rather just show up for the photos and let me handle the rest, then you may do so as well.


I intend to get you the photos you are looking for. If my photos aren't up to par, we will discuss what marks I missed and we can reshoot at no extra cost. My goal with FOTOS. AMADOR is not income, it is quality.

FAQ

This is my first photoshoot and I’m kind of nervous.

Not to worry at all. This is why we have a chat before shooting day so we can discuss expectations.

What should I wear?

This varies per shoot but, typically you'd want to wear something that makes you feel good! Whether its comfy pajamas, a flowing dress, or a nicely tailored suit.

If the location or purpose of the photos calls for a certain dress code, that will be one of the talking points in our pre-shoot meeting.

How many pictures will I receive?

I don't have a set maximum, but I can guarantee that you will receive at least 30 unique images that can be printed and framed upon request.

Event packages will go more in detail but typically around 100-150 images.

Are you available outside of Salem?

Absolutely! I am willing to travel up to ~75 miles to meet with you, this includes anywhere between Longview, WA and Cottage Grove, OR.

For out-of-state inquiries, or if your shoot is more than 75 miles away, please email me: steven@fotosamador.com

Do you do couples photography?

Yes! You can see my rates for couples in the Pricing section of this site.

Do you send RAW files or only JPGs?

RAWs can be delivered for an additional charge. See my Pricing section for me information.

Can I give you a location for a photoshoot?

Of course! If you have a place in mind for the backdrop of your images, please let me know without hesitation.

On the other hand, if you have no clue where to go, rest assured I've got some locations you can look through and pick your top spot and a few back ups.

My question isn't in your FAQ. What do I do?
