We work as a team to craft the perfect image. While we have worked with countless clients on their looks, we work with amazing professionals when it comes to bringing your vision to life. We love working with teams. Bring it on!

An Investment in You!

From simple photos to amazingly crazy cool techniques for presenting your look or selling your products. Our costs include a planning session, and we will chat about the look, brand, wardrobe, colors and styles. We want to hear about what you’re looking for, examine sample images and understand a bit about you so we can really work to meet your goals. 

 

Our base cost is $450 for an in-studio session or a per diem rate for full photography production days. We offer on-location and event coverage services as well. Our session charge covers photography time, assistant time, studio rental, contact sheets and the planning session. All products, including digital files, are purchased separately.
