SESSION PACKAGES

One look $500

1 Outfit (2 hrs): This package is recommended for corporate professionals.

Two looks $650

2 Outfits (3 hrs): This package will be very useful for actors and models looking for a standard casual/formal industry headshot.

Full-day Editorial Shoot $800 

Multiple looks (5 hrs): This package is recommended for actors and models seeking to diversify their portfolio through a highly creative/editorial-type shoot.

Booking a larger, external studio that includes a variety of furniture and props in advance is highly recommended. An outdoor, on-site shoot can also be done, weather permitting. 

***Each package includes 1 retouched photo – blemish and stray hair removal + adding a background color if desired
Any additional retouching is $30 extra per photo***

A makeup artist is HIGHLY recommended (and will remain onsite for the entirety of the shoot) since the camera will catch EVERYTHING on your face (redness/discoloration). The makeup will NOT alter how you look; but will replicate what you would normally look like in the audition room, making you look and feel great, and allowing you to focus on the work we do rather than worry about what you look like, fixing hair and makeup yourself.

***A list of industry professionals will be provided upon an initial phone conversation.***

Cancellation Policy: There is a $100 non-refundable deposit when you schedule a session with me that goes towards the total of the session. If you cancel, you will not receive your deposit back. If you have to reschedule and set a specific time and date, I will move that deposit to that session. You are allowed up to 1 reschedule due to conflicts. If you reschedule more than once, I will require a rescheduling fee of $100 that does not go toward the total of your session.

No-Shows: If you do not show up for your session, there is a no-show fee of 80% of your photo session, as well as 80% of the makeup artist’s rates. If you are running late, please get in touch with me as soon as possible so you are not charged a no-show fee.

I do not offer free re-shoots. If you want something different than what we already shot, you can re-book with me for a new shoot! With that, it is important you speak up during your session to get your desired results.
