2023 PHOTO RATES
Please understand these are estimates for the most common projects I do. 80% of my worker small biz and indie artists falls within these packages below.
The main factors for the final budget will be:
• Creative Fee
• Production Fees (Pre-Production, Production Expenses, and Post Production)
• Usage Fees
Headshots
& PRESS IMAGES
You and Your Vibe
You’re the face of your business. You need an aesthetic headshot. You probably also need images you can put on your LinkedIn, Social, and website. And you probably also want some images to be used for press whenever you get interviewed on Podcasts or elsewhere. And you want them to be aesthetic.
This super simple package covers all the bases.
The images aren’t standard headshots - I do these with consideration of you, your brand, your audience, your clients and customers.
I do these shoots at your home, office, or business district using strobes and ambiant light. If you prefer studio, one can be rented for a small fee.
Clients seem to love these because they cover all the bases, are quick, easy, and you get more than enough final images.

Campaigns
For Small Independent Brands
Small brands need a good running start. I created these rates for small brands getting their start.
Please note that this includes very basic usage rights for one year. If you plan to do a larger campaign (billboards, magazines, ad placements, POS, etc) then the rates will be adjusted.
Just a little note: Pricing is a dance. I understand that every dollar spent on the campaign means you’ll need to sell products to pay for it. Some newer brands want the shoots to be rushed. I am mindful of time, but I will not be rushed. I promise to quote what I feel is an appropriate amount of time based on my way of shooting.

FAQs
Do you shoot men too? Why do you mostly shoot women?
Yes. The majority of my clients have been women. I grew up very close to my mom, sister, grandma and neighbor. I’ve always felt really comfortable with women.
How do Payments work?
50% of the fee is due to book the shoot and confirm the day. The remainder is due the day of the shoot. You can pay via Venmo, Zelle, or Apple Pay. Debit & Credit are also available. Cash is lovely.
What happens if the weather goes bad?
It depends! Sometimes the cloudy sky and rain can look really beautiful in photos. Other times it truly destroys the shoot. I’m good at contacting people
I tend to nerd out about meteorology and track storm fronts. If I see a concern, I’ll voice it immediately. If needed, we will reschedule for better weather.
This is a frequently asked question?
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
