I am willing to work for you and pull in as many experts and specialists as needed to make your vision happen, with whatever extra equipment you specify that is required.

BUDGETING & ESTIMATING ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
We will talk about expectations, milestones and delivery deadlines. Our job is to be as creative and to accomplish as much as possible with the money you have decided to spend.
If we were to give you a flat rate, (which we won't) and we get into this and you want to expand the scope of what we originally bid on, we'd have to stop and renegotiate the entire project.
When we work together, you are in control, and we are your guides. At any point, you can pay for what we’ve done, take your files, and go work with someone else. We don’t think you’ll do that, but you have that option and flexibility. Our project expenses and approved spend down of funding are open for inspection.
Working this way lets us focus on the creative art of telling your story, or producing your event, rather than trying to make or save money by taking short cuts or arguing over time, scope, quality or budget constraints.
Studio time blocks that are scheduled but not used will be charged at full rates if cancellation isn't made within 24 hours before the scheduled session. So come prepared to work. :)
Half Day $825 per shooter
Mileage .58 per mile
ON LOCATION SHOOTING GUIDELINES
Our half day rate is a minimum of 2 hours on site/in the field with 4 hours max. Any addition time beyond 4 hours on site shall be charged at the full day rate. All travel, lodging, food, and production related expenses from the point of origin will be billed at cost. Mileage rate is $.58 per mile. Project hard drives will also be purchased as needed for large projects by Totally INSPIRED Media and billed to the client. Totally INSPIRED Media will keep one of the project drives as an in-house client archive.
​
Many clients call on us years after we've completed a project, and want to repurpose footage or past projects. We'll do our best to find your footage, but given technology and software advances, it is not always possible to open past projects or older media drives. Just because we archived a project drive for you, doesn't mean we guarantee the data. We have hundreds of customers, so take care of your project drive too. Hardware duplicity is a blessing. For really important footage you may wish to use a cloud storage solution also.
Full Day Rate—$1650
Mileage .58 per mile
