info

The photographer shoots digitally so there is no limit to the number of shots taken during a session. The number of shots depends on the individual client's preferences and comfort level in front of the camera. The photographer does everything he can to put the client at ease but realistic expectations are necessary when considering what can be accomplished in an hour. Changes made once the photo shoot has begun (i.e. clothing, hair, makeup, lights, setting) absorb time and reduce the number of shots that can be taken in one hour.

hair and makeup

Hair/makeup artists are available and highly recommended for women. The rate for the shoot is $150 for men and $175 for women (for more elaborate shoots this rate rises), paid directly to the artist at the completion of the shoot. The initial makeup application takes approximately 1 hour, which is not included as part of the photographer's shooting time. Any changes made to hair and makeup once the photographer has started will be included as part of the photographer's hourly rate. Hair/makeup artists stay for the duration of your shoot.

retouching and prints

Retouching is available at a rate of $350 per hour with a 30-minute minimum per shot.
After the initial minimum is met, clients are billed in 15-minute increments. All photos on this site have been enhanced with an average of 45 minutes of retouching. Before and after samples are available upon request.
The photographer shoots in color but can convert to black and white. The retouching rate applies for this conversion and is estimated on a per-picture basis.

Prints are available from 4x6" to 13x19". Prices are available upon request.
