Working with me

If the shoot­ing details have been agreed upon, the deposit has been paid and I have sent the con­fir­ma­tion, then our shoot is con­firmed. If I have not writ­ten you an email explic­it­ly con­tain­ing the sen­tence “I have to can­cel your shoot”, the shoot is still on and planned, even if you don’t hear from me in the 72 h pre­ced­ing it.

I under­stand that some pho­tog­ra­phers have had bad expe­ri­ences with mod­els not show­ing up for a shoot and need sev­er­al con­fir­ma­tions, the week before, the day before, and then the same day, but I can reas­sure you that I will be present at the agreed time and loca­tion (feel free to check my tes­ti­mo­ni­als or ask around for references).

On short-notice queries (72h or less), if I do not reply, I may sim­ply be busy on a shoot, in tran­sit, or lack a sta­ble inter­net con­nec­tion, in which case, please call me direct­ly at the phone num­ber writ­ten in your con­fir­ma­tion email, or at the emer­gency num­ber (my hus­band) if you get no answer. If I am unable to answer your call, I will call you back as soon as possible.

As my pri­ma­ry role is to be in front of a pho­tog­ra­pher’s lens, when I am work­ing or trav­el­ing, I gen­er­al­ly have lit­tle time between assign­ments and com­mut­ing. Therefore please allow me a 72 h delay at the least to answer your messages/​inquiries/​calls.

To help me, I also have my hus­band (Aurélien Pierre) to assist me with com­mu­ni­ca­tion and sched­ule from time to time. Don’t be sur­prised if he answers for me.

The best means to con­tact me are (in order) :

1. by email for gen­er­al com­mu­ni­ca­tions and inquiries,
2. by phone/​VoIP to dis­cuss projects and ideas in detail (request a meet­ing by email),
3. by phone/​SMS only for emer­gency con­tacts, in the last 48 h pri­or to our shoot (my num­ber will be pro­vid­ed in the shoot con­fir­ma­tion email).

Your con­fir­ma­tion email, sum­ma­rized agreed-upon con­di­tions and project, will con­tain my phone num­ber and my hus­band’s phone num­ber for emer­gency contact.

The dura­tion of shooting/​posing starts exact­ly at the time agreed and stops after the exact num­ber of hours agreed. Out of respect for my next clients, I gen­er­al­ly can­not stretch the shoot­ing ses­sions past the agreed amount of time with­out pri­or notice. If I hap­pen to be late for a shoot, I will either refund the time lost or stay lat­er if I can.

When show­ing up at a shoot, my make­up and hair are already done with a pos­si­ble 5 – 10 min­utes touch-up before we start.

• If you pro­vide a make­up artist on the shoot, I can allow an addi­tion­al 45 min­utes free of charge.
• Change of set­up, hair, make-up, cloth­ing or trav­el between loca­tions is includ­ed in my bill­able hours.
• Breaks are includ­ed in my bill­able hours (except lunch/​dinner breaks).
• If you choose to end our shoot ear­li­er than agreed, my rates will not be prorated.
• If you would like to extend our shoot past the agreed dura­tion, please men­tion it as soon as pos­si­ble (at least 48h in advance) so I can make arrangements.

I under­stand that unex­pect­ed things may occur, and I will do my best to accom­mo­date any changes. If a change or a post­pone­ment is not pos­si­ble, my can­cel­la­tion pol­i­cy applies.
