THE EXPECTATIONS

YOUR BRAND, YOUR PROJECT

Your brand is important! No matter the size, my goal is to provide you with a streamlined experience that leaves you feeling comfortable and confident throughout the process. I got your back!

I also understand that every brand & project is unique with their own scope, needs, and style! That is why I’m committed to providing you with an experience and deliverables that will enhance your brand and take it to the next level.

GET TO KNOW ME BETTER

I am a travel, adventure, and brand photographer that focuses authentic and sustainable storytelling and the desire to leave the world a bit more inspired than how I found it.

I believe that photography is not just an art, but a powerful tool. One that can spark the sense of adventure, incite the need for conservation, showcase the wonders of nature, and spread the vision of a brand.

 

For the past 3 years, I have traveled the U.S. with my family in a nomadic lifestyle that help shape the passion for bringing about a more authentic and real version of the world around us. It developed a passion for wildlife and showcasing the natural world around us, the real one. In 2024, that nomadic journey came to an end with us planting our roots in Montana and to build a community of those who share these passions around us.  

 

During my time as a travel and brand photographer, I have worked with dozens of brands to bring their visions to life and craft relatable and powerful imagery, I like to work closely with clients to develop the best possible projects for their visions and to enhance their brand with content that helps them resonate deeper with their audience.

SELECT RECENT CLIENTS & COLLABORATIONS

Let’s face it, your brand matters and in order to stand out in an online world, captivating, purpose-driven content is a must. Quality content that is relatable, meaningful, and resonates with your audience is of the utmost importance. Let me handle that part for you so that you can focus on what it is that you do best!

Here is a QUICK LOOK at the overall process for a typical project. Some of the details might change a bit depending on your unique project, but this gives you a general sense of what to expect.

THE PROCESS

  • The Beginning:

    From conceptualization to execution, we carefully define the purpose, target audience, and message to craft a compelling narrative.

    At this stage we have already spoken, discussed project details, and final outcomes. Here is where we also knock out the paperwork and payment outline and Wait for Products to Arrive!

    During this time I also:

    Scout locations and begin coordinating schedules to align with the story we aim to tell. I meticulously curate a shot list and mood board based on the project details and your needs and finalize ideas.

  • Time to Capture Content!

    After all necesyary products have arrived I will reach out to finalize any project details. Now the project truly begins!*

    We bring your vision to life! I will go out and capture all of the content outlined in the project and in our discussions. With attention to detail and a focus on capturing the essence of your concept, I aim to deliver exceptional results that captures the essence of the narrative and your brand.

    During this step, I will always keep in touch about any updates or hiccupE along the way!

    *Here is the part that the typical 2-4 week turnaround starts!

  • Sugar, spice, and everything nice!

    After capturing all of the project images / content this is where I bring it all back to the lab and finalize the project!

    Here is where I will select final images (based on project), edit, crop, create stacks & blends, and compile the images into your gallery.

  • Delivery day! Unlike the post, you won’t have to wait around your door all day for this.

    Once all of the final project deliverables are ready I will send you an email with a direct and secure link to your gallery.

    Here is where you will see your final images, are able to download all assets, and can reach out if there are any changes / revisions that might need to be made (hey, we aren’t always perfect).

    PROJECT COMPLETE! GO AHEAD AND PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK!

  • After all is complete and the project finished. I typically reach back out within a few days/week to ensure that everything has arrived smoothly and that you love your content!

    I will usually ask for your feedback and testimonials or how I can improve the process goIng forward!

    AFTERWARDS I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU AGAIN!

THE DELIVERY

The Final Stage

Here it is, the culmination of our collaborative journey – stunning images that encapsulate the essence of your brand. Each photo is meticulously crafted to reflect your unique identity and vision, ensuring that every frame tells a compelling story. I take pride in providing you with images that not only meet but exceed your expectations. Get ready to showcase your brand in its best light and make a lasting impression with your images.

Once all of the final project deliverables are ready I will send you an email with a direct and secure link to your gallery. Here is where you will see your final images, can download all final assets, and reach out if there are any changes/revisions that might need to be made. I uphold a high standard and so I want to ensure your images are perfectly to your liking!

THE STANDARD

PROFESSIONALISM

My goal is more than just to provide the highest quality service. I want to merge the beauty of nature with visually stunning brand stories. My top priority is providing captivating, relatable, and authentic content that helps enhance your brand.

COMMUNICATION

You can expect clear communication throughout the project. I love keeping honest communication at the forefront and ensuring that all parties are aware of the situation. You can expect that if any issues arise, they will be communicated as soon as possible, and we will strive for a mutually beneficial solution to be reached.

QUALITY

My aim extends beyond delivering top-tier service. I seek to blend nature’s beauty with visually captivating brand narratives. Above all, I prioritize crafting content that is engaging, relatable, and authentic, elevating your brand’s essence.

CARE

No matter the size of your brand, we’re all on this journey together. I genuinely care about brands and their purpose. That’s why at every step of the process, I go the extra mile to showcase the unique aspects of each brand. Additionally, I’ll always be available throughout the process.

Not only did he deliver what was asked for, but when above and beyond his scope of work. Throughout the whole process he comminuted goals and timelines. We can't wait to work with him again on future projects.”

FAQS

Some typically asked questions and information that usually comes up during a project!

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out anytime!

  • The best way to get in touch is via email: christaylorcreates@gmail.com.

    I love communication so if you ever have any questions or want to discuss the project, feel free to contact me anytime!

    I try to respond to emails within the same day!

  • Turnaround time depends on the project scope and deliverables.

    However, for most projects our turnaround time is 2-4 weeks once project products are received.

    You can also reference the Typical Project Timeline above for more details!

  • My goal is to make the entire project experience the best I can! If you want to make some changes or add to an existing project, reach out to me ASAP!

    If the changes/adds are pretty small, I will do my best to make it happen inside the existing project.

    However, sometimes that’s not possible. Major changes/adds might mean that the project must be re-negotiated to reflect the changes, or added as an additional project alongside the existing one.

    Again, if changes need to be made these best course is to contact me as soon as possible and go from there!

  • THIS IS THE FUN PART!

    I will deliver your photos in a well-presented and curated gallery via a secure link that allows for all high-resolution downloads.

    I use private galleries to keep any new products top secret and so that final images are easily and readily available to be shared with your entire team!

  • HEY, IT HAPPENS! I typically keep project assets available for a while after project completion! Here are some timeframe references:

    PROJECT GALLERY is typically available for 6 months after the project.

    PROJECT ASSETS are maintained for 1 year after the project! Feel free to reach out if you ever need me to resend the final assets!

  • Sometimes these two can be confusing, am I right? Let’s break them down some.

    LICENSING:

    You as the Client will always receive a LICENSE to use project assets for any normal commercial operations such as marketing, social media, website, and so on.

    YOUR SPECIFIC PROJECT LICENSING IS ALWAYS SPEFICALLY OUTLINED WITHIN A FORMAL LICENSING AGREEMENT OR WITHIN THE PROJECT CONTRACT.

    —

    COPYRIGHT:

    Under US law, more specifically the U.S. Cop,right Act of 1976. The copyright ownership of any project asset remains with the photographer. As the photographer I hold all copyright ownership over the images produced during projects.

    Simply put, this just means you can’t re-sell the the images and that you can only use them as per the LICENSING AGREEMENT.

THANK YOU!
