Frequently Asked Questions

The easiest way to book a shoot is to send me an email using the booking request form.

I am a big believer that the more time spent preparing for the shoot, the better the shoot will go. I don’t always need to see the project in person first, but I will usually request any camera phone pictures or renderings you can share just to familiarize myself with the space before arriving.

There are many variables that determine how long a shoot is going to take, but it mainly comes down to how many photos are needed, how much supplemental lighting is required, and how involved the styling will be for each photo. Please reach out to discuss your project and I can give you a better idea of how long it will take to photograph it.

My current turnaround time for proofs is 1 week after the shoot.

Projects vary greatly, so it is hard to quote an exact price without knowing more of the details. I typically operate on a day-rate.

To get a quote on your project, fill out the booking request form.

The license included with your photos is designed to allow you to do whatever you need with the photos for as long as you need, while still preserving my legal rights as the creator of the content (“intellectual property”).

Some examples of what you can do:

 Use on the internet including personal or company website

 Use on social media with photo credit @jljordanphotography

 In-house brochures or mailing pieces

 Use in portfolios, office displays, power point presentations, annual reports and trade show prints

 Social media and print advertisements

 Submittal to design competitions, awards, and public relations releases

 Submittal to editors and publishers for review

 Editorial, newspapers, special interest magazines, etc.

The only restriction is that you do not share or distribute to any one who has not paid for a sublicense.

It is common to have other parties involved in a project who may want access to the photos (architects, designers, engineers, vendors, owners, etc.). By bringing in additional parties you can save 30% or more on the cost of photography for your project. A 30% sub-licensing fee is added to the invoice for each additional user, and the total can be split however you want. The more people you bring in, the more you save!

Third-party use without a separate license is not allowed. 

The license included with the photos is non-exclusive. This means that I reserve the right to license the photos to other parties. If you require exclusive use, please let me know and I can provide a quote for an exclusive license.

Generally speaking, yes. If you have spotted photos somewhere that I took, and you want to purchase a license to use them, please contact me for pricing.

Yes! I can photograph your home or listing.

I don’t personally do it, but I work with a few different stylists. Let me know if you are interested in styling when you book your shoot!

I start with what is important to you. What materials, textiles, accessories are important to you? What were challenges that you overcame? What special moments are there in the space?

I begin each shoot by doing a brief walk-through while making mental notes about the flow and overall feel of the space. My goal is not to document every nook and cranny, but to “tell the story.” Of course this is highly subjective, so someone else might capture a different angle or do it a different way.

I typically include two sizes in the digital download.

Internet files are approximately 1800 x 1200px, 650KB, and 72ppi resolution and are ideal for the MLS, social media, and other websites.

Print files are approximately 5000 x 3333, 10MB, and 300ppi resolution. These are great for brochures, fliers, books, magazines, posters, etc.
