Where Do You Photograph?
A majority of photoshoots take place at BBN Studio where we have access to props, lighting, and other resources to make magic happen!
Upon request, some photoshoots take place on-site at the business's location.
Local areas such as the beach, the Arboretum, Greenfield Lake, etc. are also great places for photoshoots.
If you are interested in this, or have a different photoshoot site in mind, you'll have the opportunity to mention this during our consultation.

Do You Travel?
Yes.
Travel can be accommodated and may be appealing to those who have products that will not do well in the shipping process or perhaps have too many products to ship at once.
Please keep in mind that travel fees will be applied and often times it is a simpler and more affordable process for products to be shipped to Bound By Nature Studio. With that said, travel is still an option so please be sure to mention this interest while filling out the contact form and/or during the consultation process.

Will I Get My Products Back After The Photoshoot?
Yes.
If you would like your product(s) returned to you once the photoshoot is complete, you will have the opportunity to include a prepaid return shipping label within the box of products sent to BBN Studio.
If you would rather not include a prepaid return shipping label, the cost for shipping and the time to accommodate this process will be added to your final invoice. It is encouraged to include the label for a smoother return process but is not necessary.

Are RAW Image Files Available?
No.
RAW image files are not provided. Due to the advanced retouching process with editing tools such as photoshop, etc. to create the desired final results that you know and love, the RAW image files would serve no purpose for your business.

If you would like to revisit the same image but have its edits done in a different style or mood, this can be accomplished as I will have access to do so accordingly with an additional retouching (editing) fee.
