Questions on Digital Headshot/Portrait Session
Q: How much do you charge?
A: I charge a flat rate of $300 per session. This does not include prep time, discussions, reviews, coffee, and future discussions. Suffice to say the session starts at first click of the camera. Typically I will spend a minimal 2 hours with you all things considered.
Q: That's a lot of money! What do I get for $300?
A: This is subjective. However, I always ensure that clients leave with at least 25 good shots to take home with a full range of expressions with different outfits. As such, you have enough pictures of yourself to last you for the next 5 years. All of us age unfortunately..
Q: Do you provide albums and prints?
A: Short answer is no. I provide solely my expertise as a photographer. As it is with today's digital world, printing photos are becoming less important. This is also my way of keeping cost down. I take the photos, you get to keep all the high resolution JPEG's of the pictures
Q: Do you own a studio?

A: Yes. Those inquiring for Pre-Wedding photography, I would suggest you engage a professional wedding photographer for a better print package.
