Fall 2009 Pricing

Basically, I break it down to two parts. First, the actual shoot which includes my time, wear and tear on all my expensive equipment, any studio rental or any other such up front costs. And second, what happens AFTER the shoot: prints, CD's, photo editing, etc.


You can copy the online size proofs from my site and use them for free.

Frequently Asked Questions....

Do I pay the girls to shoot with me?


No, in order to pay them, someone would have to be paying ME to use their pictures. At the moment that is not the case, although I do have a couple of ideas that I am working on that might change that eventually.




Do I shoot with anyone, or just models?


Mostly I shoot with aspiring models trying to put together portfolios. But I also do shoots for girls looking for gifts for their boyfriends or husbands, or just for themselves to have fun and feel pretty. I also do engagement and family photoshoots. No experience necessary. ;)




Do I shoot with people under the age of 18?


Yes, as long as they are accompanied by a parent, so there is no misunderstanding.



I'm over 18, but can I still bring someone with me?


You are more than welcome to bring someone if it makes you feel safer. (Preferably someone who will make you feel pretty, not embarrassed.)




Do I put everyone's pictures on my website?


No, I never put anyone's pictures on my websites without their permission.




Do I provide hair, makeup, wardrobe?


Only if you ask me about it well in advance, so I can find people who are available, and you would definitely have to PAY for it all. MOST of my shoots the girls just do their own stuff, and I like it that way just fine. :) It's a lot quicker that way too. Changing makeup can eat up a LOT of time.




Do I ever shoot cheaper... or free?


Yes.... sometimes..... It depends on several factors, like what exactly we would be shooting... what type of look you have..... if I could sell the pictures or use them for advertisement, etc, etc. And yes, they tend to be sexier shoots, but sometimes it just depends on if I'm looking to do a particular style shoot.




How do I see my pictures?


You will be able to see your proofs online, in a password protected gallery on my site. You may feel free to copy the online size proofs and use them on Myspace, Facebook, etc, etc. Prints and large (printable) size digital images may be purchased directly from my web site. When purchasing printable digital images, a release form authorizing you to have copies printed wherever you like will be emailed to you.
