Current Photography Rates
 

Commercial Photography

$75       Hourly Rate
$1000   Full Day Rate (up to 10 hours of shooting and 5 hours of post-production)

2 Hour minimum, does not include printing costs (which will vary based on size, type and framing options)

Portrait/Headshot Sessions

$100 DEPOSIT REQUIRED FOR ALL PORTRAIT OR HEADSHOT SESSIONS

Sadly, due to the large number of clients who have called over the past few years, to set up appointments, then failed to show up for their appointments, respond to text or phone calls, I am now requiring a $100 Deposit for any Studio Portrait or Headshot session.  The balance of the session will be paid the day of the shoot.  If the appointment is canceled, the deposit is forfeit.  Last minute rescheduling (within 48 hours of the appointment) will add an additional $30 Rescheduling Fee.

When a client books time in my schedule, that is time that I cannot be working with other clientele, and when a client fails to show for their appointment, that is an hour I could have booked with another client.  My time is as valuable as yours is.
