Your estimate is your most critical marketing tool. To an art buyer your estimate speaks volumes about your understanding of the job at hand, of production values and your ability to produce the shot, as well as your knowledge of licensing and use. This service is available one project at a time, and you begin by simply contacting Suzanne when that first call for the estimate comes through. Simply be sure to have a deadline for the final estimate for Suzanne so as to allow for a full review. You may contact Suzanne Sease by calling 804-741-9070.
