4. How the Photo/Video Bundles Work?
Each bundle gives you creative credit hours, not just “sessions.” That means you can use your time however it best serves your brand, whether that’s on set shooting, in post-production editing, or a mix of both.
Your total bundle hours (for example, 96 hours in the Gold Bundle) can be applied flexibly:
- Full-Day Shoots (≈approximately 8 hours) – Ideal for full productions, including setup, filming, and post-production. This usually equals around 6 full projects, including editing.
- Half-Day Shoots (≈4 hours) – Ideal for shorter or focused shoots, allowing you to utilize the full 12 sessions, including editing, if used this way.
You’re not locked into fixed sessions; you’re investing in flexible creative time that adapts to your needs, whether it’s a brand shoot, a video series, or ongoing content production.
5. Do photo/video bundles expire?
Nope! Bundles never expire. We work on your schedule.
6. Can I use my photo/video bundle toward editing?
