01 ONBOARDING
The client books their consultation. This initial meeting helps us to assess the client’s creative vision, style preferences, project goals, logistical details and more. To prepare for the consultation, we ask each client to complete our Creative Client Questionnaire at the time of booking so that we can take notes and develop any preliminary ideas we may have before the meeting. After consulting with the client to gain a deeper understanding of their needs, we begin drafting the Creative Brief & Project Estimate.
02 CREATIVE BRIEF & PRICING PROPOSAL
The Creative Brief helps us confirm the project’s direction and creative details, giving the client an opportunity to provide feedback on the project as a whole before moving forward with production. Once finalized, the brief serves as the central point of reference throughout the project's duration. This visual guide may include, but is not limited to, the following: project timelines, creative and art direction concepts, preliminary ideas for set design, prop purchasing, styling, talent casting, and recommendations (e.g., photographers, locations, glam team) based on the project’s needs. Upon official approval of the Creative Brief, a deposit is required to bring the total paid to 25-30% of the service cost (depending on the service/package).
03 PRODUCTION
Once the Creative Brief & Pricing Proposal are approved, we begin executing the project, bringing the vision to life from start to finish. During production, our team handles all aspects of the process, ensuring smooth coordination and delivery according to the agreed-upon creative and logistical plan. Upon completion of the project, the remaining 70-75% of payment is due.
