Before You Ask

Good questions

The answers people usually need before they email.

Where do I start?

Email khalil@khalilkavon.com, or book the audit. Ninety minutes on Zoom, and you leave with the plan and the price. The $750 is credited toward any engagement.

Do I have to do the audit first?

No. If the scope is already clear, we go straight to a proposal.

What does “Starting at” mean?

The floor for that package. The final number depends on scope, timeline and travel, and you have it in writing before anything begins.

Who does the work?

Khalil leads every engagement and directs every shoot, with trusted crew brought in as the job needs.

What is Parterre?

Khalil’s conference practice, a Khalil Kavon company. Same team, same standard, packaged for conferences.

Do you travel?

Yes. Based in New York and Atlanta, working anywhere.

How far ahead should I book?

Conferences: three to six months before the event. Retainers and advisory: usually within the month. Speaking: as early as you can.

How do payments work?

A deposit reserves the dates and the balance is due before final delivery. Retainers are billed monthly, in advance.

How fast do you reply?

Within two business days.
