Chelsea May Photography Pledge of Excellence

When investing in photography, it is important to know that the level of your investment will directly correspond with the quality of your experience.

I’m not here to list all the costs involved with running a successful business. That’s not for you to worry about.

Instead… I offer you my

The following statements are my promise to you as your photographer. They reflect the factors that elevate your expectations of working with me above what you may expect from other photographers. As a small business owner, I strive for the experience you have to be an excellent experience, from start to finish.

Pledge of Excellence

I promise:

  • Prompt and professional communication - When you reach out, you can expect a response from me within two business days.

  • Preparation materials - Prior to your session, you will receive e-mails with reminders and education to ensure your session goes as smoothly as possible.

  • Legal and ethical practices - Chelsea May Photography is (and always will be) a legally registered, insured, and tax-paying entity. All photographs in my portfolio and advertisements are my work and not the work of other photographers.

  • Ongoing improvements - As a lifelong learner, I regularly invest in photography education with the mindset of always wanting to improve. I also regularly invest in new & improved equipment, props, and business tools.

  • Safeguards - All sessions are backed up to cloud-based storage and to an external hard drive during multiple steps in the editing process. While the guarantee of photo backup is ensured through the life of your gallery, studio backups are also performed as another level of safeguard making every effort to prevent permanent image loss after gallery expiration.

  • Backup equipment - In the event of equipment failure, I always bring along an extra camera body, lenses, SD cards, and batteries. This ensures that any photography coverage can continue even if there is damage or malfunction with my original equipment.

  • My very best - All clients and all sessions will receive the utmost care and attention from booking to image delivery. My decade-plus of expertise and experience will be reflected in all that I do.
