Basically, I break it down to two parts. First, the sitting fee, which is for the actual shoot and includes my time, wear and tear on all my expensive equipment, and any other such up front costs. And second, what happens AFTER the shoot: prints, CD's, photo editing, etc.
$50 retainer through PayPal is required to reserve a date. The remaining balance is due at the time of the shoot.

Frequently Asked Questions....
Do I shoot with anyone, or just models?
All of the above. I shoot with a lot of 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. No experience necessary. ;)
Do I pay people to shoot with me?
No, I don't sell or do anything with anyone's pictures, so I have no need to hire models.
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. Add me on Myspace or Facebook and see what I'm up to.
