express SEssion Details

An express session is right for you if you only need or want 1-3 looks. It takes between 20-40 minutes from the time you arrive to the time you leave. No hair and makeup, and typically no outfit changes (wear what you want to shoot in.. but bring a backup just in case). If you have company guidelines, be sure to bring those with.

We will have time to produce 5-10 great shots to choose from. If you’re good with taking direction this number can go up.

You will be coached by me on posing, expression, and more. You have the final say in how many images you take home, images are priced individually.

I limit an express session to about 45 minutes, otherwise we are treading into the next session option.

Every image will go directly to my computer, so we can review them immediately.  After the shoot, we will go through and narrow down all of the images. I give you my opinion on all of the small details. There’s a lot that goes into making a great headshot, and I make sure it checks all the boxes. This is where you decide what to purchase.

Age marks and blemishes can be reduced in post production, or removed entirely. If there’s some weird stray hairs, they go away too. 

When you book, you are paying the session fee up front. The only thing left to do is show up, shoot, and choose how many images you’d like to purchase at the end of the shoot.

*First image is $200, each additional image will decrease by 5% off $200. e.g. 2nd image is $190, third image is $180, fourth image is $170, etc. Max discount is 30% for images. The more images you choose, the lower average investment.

Extended Session Details

This is the right session for you if you want more options for looks. We can explore a range of background options, clothing changes, full body portraits, use of props: Desks, chairs, relevant industry props, etc. Hair and makeup are and clothing stylist are optional.

The full session absolutely produces the best photos. The more time we can spend together, the better the outcomes. It gives you more time to become comfortable in front of the camera, and gives me ample time to coach you. If you feel like you struggle in front of the camera, then the full session is probably the right choice for you. It sounds counterintuitive, but people who hate having their picture taken need more time in front of the camera to pull the greatest photos out.

If you opt for Hair & Makeup, or my Clothing Stylist, next steps will be discussed after booking. The stylist will need ample time to work with you on wardrobe, so those sessions are usually booked out a few weeks from the date you inquire.

Same as the express session, all images are sold individually. However, you may be able to take advantage of my image collections. The more we bundle, the better for you.

Elite Session Details

It doesn’t get much better than this. The celebrity treatment is going the distance.

This is a highly-customizable experience. Intended for business owners, entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and the like.

A completely crafted experience that includes:

-A Clothing Stylist
-Hair and Makeup
-Location Scouting
-Branding & Content Consult
-Unlimited Shooting Time

This is a fully planned experience, going beyond just the simple headshot. Any location, anywhere in the world, with a team to make sure everything is perfect.

The quick run down of how it will play out:

We will do an initial phone call to discuss the intent of the shoot, and decide if we are the right fit.

That call will lead to a first meeting that will include the myself, the stylist, and the hair & makeup artist. There will be a consult fee for this next step. Content strategy is the main focus, so we can decide the style(s) and location(s) we will be shooting at and which types of shots we will produce. It’s important in this step you bring some inspiration if you have an idea brewing about what you want it to look like. Once we know the strategy, we can create a proper estimate. If you decide to move forward, there will be a retainer that needs to be paid.

Once we have the initial consult finished and retainer paid, we will pick date(s) for the shoot and secure rented location(s). The stylist will work with you after the consult before the shoot date to perfect the wardrobe for the shoot. The whole team will attend each shoot for the entire duration, giving us plenty of hands to make sure everything moves smoothly.

Once the shoot is finished, it may take a few weeks for the final photos to be completed. Times will depend on how much content is created.

Frequently Asked Questions

At the end of the shoot we will sit down together to go through all of the images we took. I will help you narrow down the images with a few rounds of elimination. There will come a point where it will start to get more difficult to delete images. Usually around the top 20 images.
 
From there it is up to you to select which and how many of your favorite images you wish to purchase before you leave.
 
This puts you in complete control of the final cost depending on how many images you require. I don’t want you to pay for more than you need, and every person has different needs.

I try to get images to you within 3 days, but final images can take up to 14 days to complete.

Need it yesterday? Same day retouching can be added for $50 per image.

There’s only one rule – You have to love it! If you don’t like wearing it, you probably won’t like your pictures in it either.

Feel free to send me pictures of your options if you want some help and I can give you specific guidance.

Bring multiple clothing items so we have a variety to mix & match! If you don’t bring it, I can’t shoot it!

I offer collections of images that are priced lower than à la carte images.

Yes! I can get anything from head to toe.

Expect to be here for as little as 30 mins or as much as 3 hours. It highly depends what you’re looking to get. If you want hair & makeup, add an hour. In some cases, you can be in and out in under 30 minutes if we are short on time and need to get it done quick.

I take just about any type of payment method. Cash, Credit/Debit, Check, Zelle, Venmo, CashApp, PayPal, more.

I have a hair and makeup artist on call that will attend the session if you desire some pro pampering!

If you decide that you do not want a hair and makeup artist at the shoot, that’s OK! I will send you a guide after booking on how to prep your face for the shoot.

Absolutely! Contact me to reschedule your session.

If you don’t have the new date yet, that’s ok – we can pick a new date soon.

Call me and we can make it work!
