Investment - Elli Kos Photography

Does the pricing listed above cover all types of shoots?

Yes! Whether it's a couples engagement shoot, headshots, a branding shoot, corporate group photo shoot, graduation shoot, etc. Those are the three tiers of pricing regardless of content. When you book, part of the intake form is selecting what type of shoot you're interested in so we can discuss further details and plan accordingly.

Are the pricing packages negotiable?

Let's discuss what you're looking for, your budget, ideas you have in mind and go from there. Feel free to reach out and we can come up with a price point/timeframe that works for both of us.

What if I don't know how to pose?

I hear this almost every shoot! I'm going for the in-between spaces to snag those real smiles and emotions. Don't overthink posing. I'd like to think by the end of every shoot I've made a friend. So we'll put on music, I'll ask you about your pets, we'll talk about life, I'll snap some photos and we'll end up with some beautiful art, I promise.

Do you shoot out of the area?

I do! I love traveling. I'm offering right now to shoot entirely for FREE any location outside of Colorado if my travel expenses are covered (flight/train and lodging only).

Are travel expenses included?

If you're within Denver, the pricing is all inclusive. If you live outside of the Denver radius, there is an additional travel fee. I charge based on how many miles I'd be traveling each way. In general, it's an additional 55¢ per mile.
I am a fairly frequent traveler, so it's possible I'm traveling to your area in the near future. Let me know where you're at and what you're looking for and we can go from there.

Can I order prints?

I offer prints for sale on my website! You're free to go with whoever you choose once you download the photos, but I of course appreciate the print sales if you want to buy prints through my website ♥

What if I'm not happy with the gallery?

My goal every shoot is for clients to go home saying, 'This is the best I've ever looked and felt.' If you do not feel that what you received matched the quality of content on my website and just ultimately didn't like the gallery, please let me know. I'm doing photography because I truly love doing this and genuinely want you to be stoked about what you're going home with. Let me know in as much detail as you can what you didn't like and I'm more than happy to shoot again for free/discounted to make sure we nail it!

What if the weather is bad the day of?

We live in Colorado, so weather is a constant unknown. I will monitor the weather day of and reach out to you 3-8 hours beforehand and we can decide whether to continue on or reschedule.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! Let me know what your timeframe/budget would look like and I can absolutely set up payment plans.

What if I want a studio shoot?

Studios incur an additional fee with the exception of the ultimate package. In that case, I do offer 1 hour studio session of my choosing - note; this would also be reduced to a 60 minute shoot. If you have a specific studio in mind you wanted to use or wanted a studio for the standard or deluxe package, it would add an additional $50-$100 fee depending on the location/preference. There's also an option for you to book the studio on your own.

What locations do you shoot at?

I have several locations handpicked around the Denver area. I work with you in advance to pinpoint whether we want indoor/outdoor and the general vibe of the photoshoot and we can go from there.

Can I request a specific editing style?

Of course! I try to have a cohesive brand/editing palette, but I do have several different vibes I go for depending on the shoot. For example, graduation shoots I tend to go brighter/airy, portraits I tend to go slightly darker and film-style, editorial I go high contrast. Let me know if you do have a preference. I love working with you and hearing your ideas.

Do you offer group photoshoots?

Yes! Bring everyone along and we can find a price point that makes sense depending on the occasion and vision. Best friend in town for the weekend? Let's do a quick 20 minute shoot at Red Rocks! Family together for the first time in years? Let's meet at Cheesman Park and snag some memories. Let me know the scenario and we can create some art!

Do you shoot weddings/elopements?

Yes! I'm still building up my portfolio of weddings and elopements, so I'm offering special pricing over the next year. Let me know your vision/timeframe and I'd love to discuss being your photographer for such a monumental day.

Do you offer free consultations?

Absolutely! Give me a call and we can discuss pricing, expectations, and go over what you're looking for in detail before you make this investment. If you're in the area, I'm also happy to meet in person and grab a coffee as you weigh your options. If my style isn't quite what you're looking for or I'm not available, I'd be happy to provide alternative referral options.

Are you LGBTQIA+ friendly?

Yes! All are welcome here. I hope to always create a safe space wherever I am, and I consider clients friends. Whatever I can do to make you feel as comfortable, excited and yourself as possible, that's my goal for the shoot.

Do you shoot film?

I am a beginner film photographer and am happy to incorporate film shots for an additional cost. I currently own a Minolta SRT-101 and shoot primarily Portra 400. As you may know, it does cost quite a bit more to buy and develop film - always happy to discuss it with you!
