FAQs

Why should I consider a subscription?
There’s a time and a place for each kind of photo shoot and one-off sessions definitely serve a purpose and can be perfect for specific kinds of campaigns.

On the flip side, there’s a special magic + understanding + continuity that happens when we work together over an extended period of time. That way we can form a deeper connection and we can really get to know who you are as an individual, or an organization, how your target market reacts to specific kinds of imagery and what we can do to make each shoot better than the last.

A great example of this is how we worked consistently with a nonprofit on a fundraising campaign that started by raising $32,000 the first year and as we honed it over the years it’s now consistently raising over $100,000 every year.

What, exactly, IS a subscription?
The needs of every business or organization are so different and we 100% understand that. We’ll work with you to fine tune the exact subscription that makes sense for you, but in order to qualify for the 20% discount per shoot the minimum requirements are a one-year agreement that includes at least 2 Full Day or Half Day shoots or 4 Two-Hour or One-Hour shoots.

Is the image license really unlimited?
Yep! We know that the image needs of a small business are constantly evolving and there are frequently last minute advertising opportunities or image needs that you need to jump on. We want you to be able to take advantage of them without having to track every license for every image, since we know that’s a daunting task in the middle of all the other daunting tasks we have on our plates every day, so we’re happy to make this part super straight forward!

How many final images are created during a shoot?
This varies based on each shoot’s specific goals. Sometimes we’re shooting really quickly and building a large library of images, other times we’re really focused on perfecting a few key hero images for specific uses, but 15-30 final images per hour of shooting is a good average.

What is the 50% discount on additional licensing through the archive?
Our online image archive has thousands and thousands of photos available for license. With your photo shoot you get a 50% discount on licensing additional images of ours through the archive.

This is a huge help for last-minute photo needs, more general images that don’t necessarily have to be tied directly to your organization or filling out a campaign with additional images.

The images in the archive are all licensed for their specific one-time use.

Will our shoot be featured on Our Wild Puget Sound’s journal?
We’ll definitely talk about that during the planning phase as we’re discussing the goals of your photo shoot. Sometimes pairing the shoot with a feature on our journal will make the most strategic sense for you, other times you might want to save all of your images for your specific project, or it might be more effective for us to partner with another publication or organization and house the story on their platform.

We’re here to make these images work for you every step of the way and that includes maximizing the potential impact + publicity for you.

Do you do payment plans?
We completely understand all the financial hoops we all have to jump through and we never want an upfront cost to be a barrier for you. We’re more than happy to come up with a plan that’s feasible and fair all around. We can also discuss other ways of funding, whether that’s through grants, partnering with other brands + organizations, etc.

What is the shared image license discount?
We offer a 20% discount on any shoot if you’re willing to sign model releases that allow the images from the shoot to also being included in our stock photography library. This means the photos have the possibility of being licensed by other companies/organizations/magazines/etc.

For example: if your company farms oysters on the Puget Sound the images we create from a stock shoot might be used 1: By your company (of course!) 2: In a magazine article about oyster farming 3: By a local tourism board 4: By a company that makes the gear used in the photos. 5: By an organization that focuses on environmental issues in the Puget Sound. 6: As a print on someone’s wall.

This option is really great if you have a more limited budget or if you’re fine with (or even stoked about!) the photos being used by multiple people in multiple ways. We also want to make sure you get to use the images from our shoot before anyone else, so we wait 6 months from the date of the shoot before making them available to anyone else so you have plenty of time to make them work for you first.

The only thing required to qualify for this discount is for every subject in the shoot to sign a full model release.

This discount can also be stacked with the 20% subscription discount to create a 40% total discount.
