SYRACUSE Local Political Campaign Session

Please read everything thoroughly before inquiry <3

These sessions are made available to encourage and support local Level campaigns by making myself available at an affordable price.

IMPORTANT: If your campaign is working with a firm for mailers and/or other literature, please be sure to communicate you’d like me to be the photographer as soon as possible in your process with them. 

Session Information:

  • 2 hour session: $500 + tip/gratuity based on campaign budget. If you have a larger budget for your campaign, I would appreciate the good will/gratuity. The value of these sessions are easily $2,000+.

  • 4 hours (2 sessions back to back, or a “half day”) is the best way to get the most value out of the session.

  • I would appreciate at least 4 weeks planning time and 2 phone meetings before our session. 

  • Please note: these session prices are for LOCAL ONLY- Syracuse and within Onondaga County.

Deliverables:

  • An all-inclusive, full res photo gallery within 3 weeks so that you have all kinds of options for your social media, literature, mailers.

  • Prep for planning and collaboration from wardrobe, props, and locations based on your campaign values.

  • Posing, activity and group direction, and day-of session coordination.

  • Access to my local FB group of “politically engaged” friends to share information about your campaign, and if you’re interested in having volunteers at your session!!

If you’re interested in working with me, please:

  1. Make an inquiry through my contact page

  2. Sign our agreement contract that will be emailed to you. 

  3. Make a retainer deposit of at least $250 for our session date. The remainder $250+ is due the day before our session. 

  4. You will then be emailed a questionnaire. Filling out the questionnaire, down to the details, will help jumpstart our planning and brainstorming process, and will help us nail down a session (day-of) timeline that will accomplish the most messaging/branding goals. You can take your time with it. It’s best to take the planning process seriously, and I will help every step of the way.

If you’re interested in donating a session to a local campaign (which would be a TREMENDOUS WAY to directly make a HUGE difference for a local candidate), please email me at ciara@ciarastudios.com.

After we work together, I will do my very best to attend your events when I can throughout the campaign season and make great photos available for your campaign at $20/digital. 

Nearby CNY Congressional and State races are very welcomed. Please email me ciara@ciarastudios.com for more info
