A few things you might be wondering.
You’re welcome to ask questions before we book. Here are a few that come up often, and you can always get in touch if yours isn’t here. For starting rates, visit Pricing & Booking.
Headshots.
What does a headshot session cost?
Studio headshots start at $275 per person, plus applicable tax. On-location headshots start at $300 per person, plus applicable tax. The starting session includes up to 20 minutes, one outfit and one finished, professionally retouched image. Additional finished images are $75 each, plus applicable tax. Travel and setup requirements are confirmed in your quote.
How long is the session, and what should I wear?
Your starting session is up to 20 minutes with one outfit. Bring something you feel good wearing and that fits the way you want to present yourself professionally. Not sure what will work? Ask me before the session. If you’d like several outfits or a wider range of photographs, we can plan and quote that separately.
What if I’m uncomfortable in front of the camera?
You won’t be the first person to tell me that! Most people I photograph aren’t models. I’ll help with posture, expression and the little adjustments along the way. You just need to show up as yourself.
Can I see and approve my photographs as we shoot?
Yes, and it’s one of my favorite parts of the process. You’ll see your photographs on a screen while we shoot, so we can look at them together. If we need to adjust your expression, posture or lighting, we’ll dial it in right then. You’ll know what we’re getting before you leave, and I’ll retouch your selected images afterward.
How do I choose my finished images?
We review your photographs together during the session so you can approve the images you like. Your starting session includes one finished, professionally retouched image. Additional finished images are $75 each, plus applicable tax.
When will I receive my finished headshots?
Once you’ve chosen your images, I’ll have your finished headshots ready within 3–4 business days. Need them sooner? I offer 12-hour rush delivery Monday–Friday for an additional $75 per image. Just let me know your deadline, and we’ll confirm the delivery time before you book the rush service.
What does retouching include?
I’ll take care of color correction and natural retouching on your finished headshots. I want you to look like yourself, with a little polish. If there’s something you’re concerned about, tell me when we look at the photographs together.
Is there a deposit? What if I need to change my appointment?
Your $100 deposit goes toward the total price of your session. I understand that plans can change, so you can cancel or reschedule up to two times and keep your deposit credit. If you cancel or reschedule a third time, you’ll lose the deposit. See the Booking Policies for session and delivery details.
Commercial & Events.
What kinds of assignments do you photograph?
I photograph businesses, people at work, company headshots, healthcare, retail openings, conferences and organizational events. Tell me a little about yours, and we’ll talk about what you need.
Can you photograph our team at our location?
Absolutely. I can bring the lighting and backgrounds to your workplace and work with you on a schedule for the team. Once I know how many people we’re photographing, where and what finished images you need, I’ll put together a quote.
Where are you based, and do you travel?
I’m based in Mission, Texas, and work throughout the Rio Grande Valley, including McAllen, Edinburg, Pharr and Harlingen. Travel beyond the Valley is available for select assignments. Travel and setup charges are confirmed in your quote.
How are commercial and event assignments priced?
Event coverage starts at $600 for two hours, with additional coverage at $300 per hour. Applicable travel charges and tax are confirmed in your quote. Commercial and branding projects are quoted around planning, production, locations, deliverables and intended image use. See starting rates.
Can we use the photographs for our website, social media and advertising?
Let me know where you’d like to use the photographs, whether that’s your website, social media, advertising or something else. We’ll agree on the permitted uses and include them in your quote, so everyone knows what’s covered.
When will commercial or event photographs be delivered?
Have a deadline to meet? Let me know while we’re planning. We’ll agree on delivery timing before the assignment so your team knows when to expect the photographs.
Do you offer video?
I do offer commercial video for select projects. Tell me what you have in mind when you get in touch, and we can talk through it.
