## What Makes Us Different

Lulu's Atelier takes a strategy-first approach. Every project starts with understanding where the images will live and what business goal they need to achieve. Visuals are built around that purpose — not produced generically. The studio manages the entire production pipeline in-house, including talent sourcing, location scouting, art direction, prop sourcing, on-set production, editing, and retouching. Clients get a cohesive content library, not a folder of disconnected images.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: How many clients do you take on at once?**
A: The studio works with 1–2 clients per month by design. That limit ensures every project gets full creative attention from Lulu personally — not delegated to a junior team.

**Q: How much does product photography cost?**
A: Studio product photography starts at $1,750 and goes up to $8,000+. Lifestyle photography and model campaigns start at $2,000–$3,000. Final pricing depends on the number of products, shot complexity, and deliverables needed.

**Q: Do I need to travel to Portland for a shoot?**
A: No. Most clients ship their products to the studio. Creative direction and pre-production can be handled remotely. You don't need to be on set.

**Q: How long does a project take from start to finish?**
A: Timeline varies by project scope. A standard product photography project typically spans several weeks, including discovery, pre-production planning, the shoot itself, and post-production editing. Rush timelines may be available depending on availability.

**Q: What do I need to provide before the shoot?**
A: You provide your products and any relevant brand guidelines. Lulu's Atelier handles everything else — concept development, prop sourcing, talent, styling, location (if needed), and post-production. You review and approve a creative brief and shot list before anything goes into production.

**Q: Do you work with small brands or just large companies?**
A: The studio works with CPG brands at various stages — from emerging indie brands to established consumer labels — as long as the project is a good fit for the studio's process and specialization.

**Q: What industries do you specialize in?**
A: CPG — specifically food and beverage, beauty, skincare, and wellness brands.

**Q: Can you handle both photos and video in one project?**
A: Yes. The studio produces still photography and short-form motion and video content. Combining both in a single production is common and often more efficient.

**Q: What does the final delivery include?**
A: Edited and retouched image or video files, optimized for the intended placement — e-commerce listings, digital ads, social media, or print. Deliverable specs are defined during the discovery phase.

**Q: What if I only need creative direction, not a full shoot?**
A: Creative direction and pre-production planning is available as a standalone service, starting at $1,500. This includes concept development, mood boarding, and production planning you can take elsewhere or use to prepare for a future shoot.
