Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ: General Photography Services

  • I didn't know how to entirely function as a human until I adopted Marco. He's given me everything and I am crushed at the thought of him not being by my side. So I've taken hundreds, thousands of photos of this guy.

    I want you to have a similar memory bank, but not where you're holding a phone and out of the moment. I want to capture you guys as you are. In a world that continues to be less and less authentic, I want to give the gift of time, click by click.

  • As much as I love my dogs, I know I have to feed them too. My services are not at all limited to pet photography.

    I have used my visual services to provide A+ content for Amazon listings, built-out Shopify storefronts, provide headshots, family photography, wedding photography and videography, senior pictures, and more.

  • You can reach out to me directly at joe@woodbirdvisuals.com or click on the schedule buttons plastered on here and shoot me a message that way!

  • So much of this answer depends on the services you want me to perform, but more important than any of that, you should expect to feel heard, not-pressured, and like your time is as important to me as it is to you.

    I've been on too many sets where there was more concern for the industry term for a clothes-pins than actually catering to the customers needs.

  • Yes! In addition to photography, I also provide videography, graphic design, and web design/management services!

    From companies like GM to small startups in the Metro Detroit area, there isn't a project I wouldn't be able to support.

  • We have shoot ranges from a simple 30 minutes to a full day, simply depending on what you're looking to accomplish!

    Reach out at joe@woodbirdvisuals.com today and we can start that conversation!
