We begin with a collaborative discussion. Some may call it a consultation, but think of it more as a collaborative discussion. We'll ask you questions about how you want to be photographed, what kind of styling you're looking for in your images, whether you prefer a studio or outdoor natural session, and what your photographs will be used for. All of this helps us make decisions on how to best create the look and feel of your photographs. This in turn helps present you in the most accurate and beautiful way possible.

We will then send you what is known as a mood board. This mood board will show examples of make up, hair styling, wardrobe, locations, lighting, and other aspects of what we have envisioned for your session. The mood board provides an opportunity for us to discuss clothing, make up, and hair styling choices for your session. This helps us both by ensuring we are on the same page for the intended look of your photographs.

The day of the session, you'll come in prepared to have a great time as we prepare your make up, and hair for your fabulous transformation. Once you are ready, we will start creating the beautiful images that represent the essence of you.

The reveal can happen a number of different ways depending on schedules, geographic proximity, and other factors. The reveal is simple, easy, and convenient for you. We'll discuss which images you love and want to have printed. We'll discuss the various options for printing and delivery of digital images for your prints.

When its all said and done, you'll feel fabulous, enjoy yourself, and see the incredible beauty that is you. You might even be surprised by how beautiful you are.

Pricing is based on several variables and therefor will vary depending on the type of photography you are requesting. Some of these variables are taxes (if required by state law, maintenance of equipment, battery usage, transportation cost, time in pre-production planning, time of production, time of post-processing (varies based on amount needed dependent upon project), end usage, location fees, printing costs, fair market rates just to name a few.

Another variable designed for your convenience is that our portrait packages are flexible and can be customized to fit your needs. For a detailed price list of the particular service you are seeking, please see the pricing pages listed in the navigation menu at the top of the page.

A-La-Carte sessions are available as well. These sessions start at $200. After that, what you spend is completely up to you and determined at the reveal session.

Payments may be made with cash, debit, credit, tap to pay or through PayPal. We no longer accept checks for payment. We also require a non-refundable booking fee equaling 50% of the total price, and date and time reservation will be entered into our calendar upon receipt. At which time your session will be considered booked and finalized. The remaining amount will be due at the end of the session that day. This policy was implemented to ensure for both parties the work is completed in a timely fashion.

Cancellations need to be made based on the type of work you are requesting. Generally, portrait and real estate work will require a 7 day notice, Video Production and Weddings will require a 14 day notice as there are external assets that will also need notification and in emergency cases (such as a hospitalization due to health or accident reasons, death or unexpected delivery of a child, military deployment, unexpected sudden business travel that can be verified) the session can be rescheduled if possible at no additional cost.

In the case of emergency cancellations 25% of the booking fee will be refunded upon verification of the emergency. No refund will be provided without verification of the emergency. In the event proper notification of reschedules or cancellations are not received, there will be an additional 20% of the the total fee assessed to the final payment. This is to cover additional expenses that will be incurred from last minute cancellations and reschedules not involving emergency situations.

Generally this doesn't happen, but it can. Mother nature doesn't always cooperate with outdoor sessions. We will make every fair and possible effort to reschedule the session at no additional cost, if circumstances outside of our (the client and SDD staff) control create a situation in which a reschedule must occur.

If an additional session is required due to our (SDD Staff) fault, which is a rarity, we will schedule or reschedule the session at no additional cost as well. This does not mean that we will reschedule if the client is late for the session, or the session must be rescheduled due to controllable circumstances. In this instance an additional 50% of the total price will be assessed to the final cost to cover for the extra expenses and time involved.

We will have a discovery discussion initially to determined your needs. We'll discuss things like the purpose of the video, what you want to accomplish with the video (what message you want to tell), any concepts you have for the video, styling, what distribution methods will be used, scripting needs if any, location needs, casting needs and other things that are crucial for the creative pre-production process.


After the discovering discussion we'll enter the concept development phase where our team will create concepts based on our discovery discussion and present you with a script (if needed) and story boards for the concepts that we have developed.


Once you have approved the concept story board for production we will enter the pre-production phase. This is where we will work with you to obtain any necessary city or state permits, acquire location releases (if needed), host casting calls, sub-contract a professional crew, and create other administrative pre-production documents required during the production process.


Once the pre-production process is complete we will begin production. This is where we capture the imagery and sound that will bring your creative vision to life. Depending on the needs of the video, this may take a few hours to several days or weeks to acquire and create all of the assets that will be needed for the post-production process.


The post-production process will begin once the production process is complete. During the post-production process we will work on editing the footage and this is where your vision begins to come together. We will make color adjustments, do color grading, perform audio editing and synchronization, create sound effects, record foley if needed, create graphics, motion graphics and visual effects if needed. Any compositing work from green screen footage or other methods will be created and compiled, and if needed 3D elements will be created and composited into the footage. During this process, we will show you an initial edited rough cut, and provide two review sessions in which you can request changes to be made if needed.


Once we have completed the post-production process your final edited video will be delivered in the required formats for the intended distribution methods.

Our video production service pricing varies with every project. Every project is different and requires unique things for that project. We will do a discovery discussion session with you to determine the needs of the project and then provide you with an estimate on the cost of your production.

We do this because filming an event like weddings, requires something completely different from narratives or commercials. This is why the discovery discussion is so important and why you will receive an estimate after the discovery discussion.

We make use of a large variety of equipment. What equipment we use for a particular project will be largely determined by the discovery discussion we have with you prior to the concept process.

Yes. We do have the ability to create dvd's and blue ray discs with your video production. Due to the increased demand for digital delivery, streaming, and DCP's, we no longer offer this service.

Sutton Digital Design LLC carries the standard business liability insurance, equipment coverage, and additional liability coverage provided by Hiscox. This insurance covers employees, and subcontractors who work on our behalf.

Sutton Digital Design LLC carries the standard business liability insurance provided by Hiscox with additional equipment coverage. Since sUAV's are still a new industry and things are rapidly changing in the industry we are currently looking into specific coverage for sUAV's as many traditional insurance companies are not carrying options for sUAV's at this time.

Sutton Digital Design LLC currently owns the Phantom 4 with a 4k camera. We have access to, and work with other sUAV's through various contractors and friends. Depending on the requirements of your project, we can pull from a variety of operators and equipment to best suit your situation.

Sutton Digital Design LLC will not operate an sUAV during foggy conditions, or within 2 hours of severe weather. If we are currently involved in an operation and sever weather surfaces within 2 hours of the operation, we will stop the operation and wait for the weather conditions to change.

We will not fly in the rain or during the typical Florida Summer time showers.

We will also not fly if the wind conditions are prohibitive. Meaning, if winds are in excess of 15-20mph, we will not operate any of the sUAV's we have access too.

We will also not fly in areas where the FAA has issued Temporary flight restrictions, permanent flight restrictions, Class E, D, C, B, or A airspace. We also will not fly within 5 miles of towered or non-towered airports that operate during the day without sufficient notice to get the appropriate clearance from the FAA. This usually requires anywhere from 1 day to 2 weeks.

For operations that will cover a large area we employ multiple Visual observers scattered through out the area in key locations where the operation will be conducted. We conduct a pre-operation scouting session at the location to determine specific needs and concerns for that location that include things like, the number of VO's needed, weather conditions, potential hazards, possible wi-fi transmission interferences and other operational considerations. We conduct communications by hand held radios to maintain constant verbal communication. These are just a few of the things we do to stay compliant with FAA standards and regulations.
