Paying per image gives the clients more control over their cost and experience. Under this structure I’m no longer constrained by “packages”. We can shoot as long (or as quickly) as we need, no worries about time limits or “looks”. This also gives me an incentive to perform and create as many amazing images as possible, since the client is under no obligation to purchase any images after our shoot. Each photo session is a unique experience tailored to the client to create maximum value. At the end of each session I will help the client narrow down their selection as much as possible in an absolutely no pressure atmosphere. I believe I create better value by having repeat clients who are likely to refer me more-so than pressuring a client to spend as much as possible.

Where are you located?

I shoot on location and I have a studio in DTLA! All of my equipment is portable, I can come to any location of your choice

Do you recommend a makeup artist?

Absolutely. Especially for females. A talented makeup artist understands your skin type, texture and all of your needs at a level that I cannot achieve in photoshop. MUAs are absolutely invaluable to elevating your look. Note* if you’re already talented at makeup and understand what works on you, having a MUA is not needed

How do you accept payment?

I accept cash, credit card, venmo or paypal

What comes with a retouched photo?

A retouched photo includes professional skin retouching, stray hair removal, contouring, color/lighting correction and creative color grading. By default I prefer to keep edits subtle and natural, but we will communicate if you prefer more intense editing. I edit my pictures myself. That means if you have any feedback with an edit I can correct it as needed. Retouching/editing is an art-form, there is no right or wrong way to do it. That is why I believe in utilizing a collaborative approach.

What equipment do you use?

I use the BEST equipment to take gorgeous images of people. My camera is a Nikon D850 and I use a Sigma ART 85mm Lens and a Nikkor 105mm Lens for headshots. I have two Flashpoint Explor 600 strobes, two Evolv 200 strobes, a beauty dish, two 35 inch softboxes, standard reflectors, two 65 inch umbrellas with optional diffusers, two V-Flats and a curved eye lighter reflector.

Do you offer refunds?

I absolutely offer refunds on headshot session fees. My goal is to create a high-end experience and offering refunds reflects my confidence to be able to do that. If you simply don’t like the results, your session fee will be refunded. I will not charge you for edits until you receive them and approve of them. Unfortunately, I cannot offer refunds on MUA fees or lifestyle/modeling shoots at this time.

How many headshot sessions do you book per day?

Typically I will book a maximum of two per day. I estimate that a single headshot session takes 5-9 hours of time between setting up, shooting, editing, travel and communicating with the client. Weekly I aim to book 5-10 sessions. This allows me to give full focus on every shoot as a unique, high-end experience while also giving me free time during the week for other tasks including, marketing, networking, content creation, social media management, website development, community outreach, test shooting and administrative work.

What happens when I book a session? How does this all work?

Every session starts with a client contacting me in some way. Methods of communication include call, text, email, Instagram DM, Facebook Messanger, and my scheduling app. If you book an appointment through the schedule, I will call you to verify the appointment and go over what to expect. Next, we will meet in studio or on location. For studio shoots, I will have you utilize the free street parking in the area (there is also a nearby lot that costs $10) and have you call or upon your arrival. I will walk down, meet up with you and take you to the studio where the lighting will be set up and ready to go. I will show you examples of headshots/backgrounds to get a feel for your preferences. I will teach you how to stand and how to utilize angles to create more flattering images (this part is not difficult at all). I will also create an easy-going, warm environment to bring out natural expressions in your photographs. Next, we will go over our images on a computer and select the ones that we want to edit. I can also send a folder with watermarked images to your phone if you prefer to do this process on your own (this is the default for shoots on location). After showing and selecting the photos, I will take payment via cash, credit card, Venmo, or Paypal. You will receive your images as soon as possible (1-7 days). I can also expedite the delivery of your edited images if needed.

All sessions offer unlimited looks, which creates a LOT of value for all actors. No need to pay $100-$200 every time you switch outfits.
You receive ALL of the images from the shoot in HIGH RES and Low Res. They will be color graded and adjusted. No need to pay extra to access your own shots, no need to pay for retouching or jump through hoops to get them in high res. Retouching (photoshopping) is recommended but not needed, especially just for Actors Access. Clients are welcome to retouch their own photos (as its not as complicated as it once was).
Clients get access to a Pixieset and Dropbox link good for 60 days
Sessions may not be split up. For instance, you can’t book a three-hour session and then shoot three different days an hour at a time.

Sessions cannot be split with a friend. I’d love to offer split sessions but lighting isn’t the same for any two people and it’s much better to focus on 1 person at a time.

For clients interested in booking a makeup artist, I can provide you with my list of recommended makeup artists. You are NOT forced to book hair or makeup artists, nor is it needed. Makeup artist recommendations are provided AFTER booking because clients should read my preparation material before deciding to book makeup. If you’re unsure about makeup, you should book the session plenty of time in advance so you can read the material and make arrangements.

Hair/Makeup rates from recommended artists that provide do & go services from their location start at $125. Artists that come to the studio and stay for touchups usually average $200-$350
