GENERAL FAQ’s

How much do your photography services cost?

Help! I'm not photogenic.

You’re not alone, and we’ve got this! Many people we work with, even professional actors, may feel slightly uncomfortable in front of a still camera. Our priority is to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere where you can be yourself. We specialize in helping you find your confidence in the moment!

We never expect you to “perform” or know what to do in front of the camera. Instead, we provide specific instructions and guidance to help you find your best angles and expressions. We’ll chat a bit before the shoot to discuss your vision, review the plan, and answer any lastminute questions. As we shoot, we’ll often show you images, making adjustments together until you’re thrilled with the results. You’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll feel at ease and confident!

What types of photography services do you offer?

At VENcreaTive, we specialize in visually representing individuals and brands through highquality photography. We have a mobile studio that we bring to location for most of our shoots; we can set up right in your living room if need be. We love working in the natural world and thrive in-studio!

  • Headshots: We offer professional, impactful headshots, ranging from minimal studio setups to on-location shoots at your home or office using our portable equipment. These are perfect for professional profiles, portfolios, and personal branding.
  • Editorial & Commercial Portraits: For more customized needs, we create editorial and commercial portraits. These are typically for promotional, personal, or commercial use and begin with a collaborative brainstorming session.
