Questions, answered

Pricing, prep, and what to expect. Don't see yours? Just ask.

How much does a headshot session cost?

For one person, my headshot fee is $200. That includes a 15-minute phone consultation (I'm happy to talk more as questions come up), a 45 to 60 minute shoot with two looks, and two final, polished headshots delivered digitally within 5 business days. Faster turnaround is possible. My per-person fee is lower for groups, so if you have colleagues or a firm, let's talk!

What about events, products, and other shoots?

My fee for events is $150 to $200 an hour plus post-production. Product shoots vary a lot depending on what you need. I'll send a detailed quote after we email or talk on the phone.

I don't like having my photo taken. How do you make it easier?

I'm a people person, and I understand the empathy and warm touch it takes to make someone comfortable in front of a camera. My clients are always pleasantly surprised by how easy, and dare I say fun, the whole process is.

How do we prepare for a headshot shoot?

When we book, I'll send you a detailed list of wardrobe and grooming tips. I always recommend a phone call beforehand so I can answer any other questions about prep and the process. For group headshot sessions, I'm skilled with logistics and coordination and will make sure our time together is well planned and runs smoothly.

What types of events have you photographed?

Over the years I've photographed more than 100 events, from corporate gatherings to galas, nonprofit retreats, State Capitol lobby days, graduation ceremonies, press conferences, weddings, parties, and more. I know what to look for, and I'll always ask if you have a shot list.

How fast will I get my photos?

For events, I guarantee a set of finalized favorites within 24 hours, since people usually want these for social media. The rest of the images arrive within 3 to 5 business days. Headshot proofs arrive within 3 to 5 business days, and final polished selections within 3 to 5 business days after that. Shorter timeframes are possible, and larger shoots may need a little longer.

Do we get full ownership of the images?

Yes. I deliver your images digitally through a Dropbox link, and you have full usage rights.

Where do you shoot?

I photograph clients around Sacramento and in Oakland and the greater Bay Area. Let me know what city we're shooting in when you reach out, and we'll find the right location together, indoors or out.
