HERE’S HOW THE PROCESS WORKS:
At Darshaun Smith Productions, we keep things simple. From the first message to the final delivery, every step is built to be clear, creative, and completely centered around you. Here’s how it all comes together
-
Think of this as the “getting to know you” stage.
It all starts with a quick conversation. You tell us what you’re looking for — your goals, your story, and what you want your visuals to say. No pressure, just a genuine talk about your ideas and how we can bring them to life.
-
You dream it, we plan it.
Once we understand your vision, we’ll handle the details — from choosing the right package to planning your shoot, location, and creative direction. Every project is built around your purpose, not a one-size-fits-all template.
-
You enjoy the moment — we’ll capture the story.
This is where the magic happens. We show up prepared, professional, and ready to make you look and feel your best. Whether it’s photo, video, or design, we keep things easy, efficient, and full of good energy.
-
Quality takes time, and we make every second count.
After the shoot, your project goes through our professional post-production process — from color grading and sound design to storytelling that flows. This is where your visuals take on that clean, high-quality DSP finish.
-
Because we’re not just here for one project — we’re here for your growth.
You’ll receive your final, polished visuals optimized for your platform — whether that’s social media, your website, or your marketing campaign. And if you ever want help with strategy, we’ll be right there to support your next move.
No stress. No confusion. Just authentic visuals and a smooth experience from start to finish.
GO QUESTIONS? HERE’S SOME ANSWERS!
-
To secure your spot on the calendar, 50% is due upfront. Then, the remaining balance is due 30 days before the shoot. DSP also offers custom payment plans if needed.
-
At DSP, our style is rooted in authenticity. We capture moments as they truly are — real tones, minimal retouching, and bold yet intentional color stories. Every image, moving or still, reflects quality and care, designed to tell your story honestly while inspiring growth through visuals that feel powerful, timeless, and true to life.
-
At DSP we deliver all content through an online gallery. You can share these galleries with family + friends, and all photos, videos and deigns can be downloaded directly from the gallery. You can also purchase prints from the online gallery! If you’d like a thumb drive of your content, let us know, and we can get something arranged!
-
DSP will deliver your content as soon as we can! For our own sanity, we give ourselves 2 weeks for most sessions. Depending on our current workload and schedule, If we can deliver content even sooner we will!! So keep an eye on your email! We know waiting for your content can be the worst, but trust us… we’re making sure your content gets delivered in the best possible quality.
-
At DSP, we keep it simple. Rescheduling is free depending on the day. If we’re free its free, if we’re not we’ll arrange for a new date that work for all parties involved. Sounds fair
-
DSP is based in eastern Iowa, the Cedar rapids and Iowa city areas, but can and will travel to other locations when duty calls! Typically, we charge per mile when it comes to driving distance. If you’re within a flight’s distance, we just charge you for the flight. Feel free to fill out our contact form for a more accurate travel expense quote.
-
Once we’re in the planning stages, we have a guide for tips on what to wear! No matter the event, or season, DSP has got you covered!
-
This depends on the event! But at DSP we recommend a total of 2-4 people for anything outside. Large groups of people tend to take the focus away from the actual moment and we end up shooting way less than we were suppose to but it’s up to you. Bring the whole family if you want!
When Inside studio spaces, keep it down to 2-5 guests if not being shot please. Most locations have a limit, but can be flexable!
