Session Fee: $600
On location:
After the shoot, I like to go to a coffee shop with you and upload the images from your session to my laptop so we can review the images together and start the selection process.
Sometimes less is more but when it comes to clothing, more is better! Especially if you’re not sure what to wear OR if you’re open to me helping chose what outfits will be best for your headshots. I’ve spent so much time with friends who needed new headshots and one of the obvious things was they needed to pick better tones for their skin tone, or simply needed to see in a photo why a particular clothing choice is better even though they didn’t see it. For instance, I had one friend who had a dress that I love the top of it. She was so focused on it being a dress and didn’t think it would work but when I pointed out and shot her headshot, it was clear the dress was wonderful - and guess what? No one knew it was a dress.
I’ve debated about doing session packages where you chose between the number of outfits and the amount of time we spend together but I found that it’s better for you not to worry about what you’re going to wear, how much time is left, or how many images you think you want retouched off the bat. This is why I do session fees and per image pricing. It allows you to bring all the clothing your staring at laid out across your room and lets us collaborate on picking together. Then we can chose the best shots from all the clothing choices - this is where many are surprised about what outfits they end up choosing.
Per Image: $40
At the end of the session, you will select the final images you'd like to keep from the best of the best. The price of each image you select to purchase is $50 which includes unlimited licensing of the image for personal use as well as retouching of those images selected.
I offer 15% off my session fee for returning clients and students enrolled in any acting classes.
There is a 50% non-refundable deposit required to book a session and any discounts that you are to receive will be deducted from your final invoice upon completion of your shoot.
Throughout the session, you will be reviewing the images with Peter to decide whether or not you feel it would be beneficial for your personal brand. By narrowing down in this manner it allows for us to only focus on the cream of the crop and anything that you don't feel would be in your best interest to keep will be deleted.
Should you feel the need to bypass the process of choosing with Anthony at the end of the session then we can set up a proofing site for you for $25 where you will be able to choose the images you'd like to purchase at your convenience. This images will be watermark but will clearly show each image so you can best choose what images you’d like to have edited/ purchased.
Do I need to have hair and makeup done?
I highly recommend getting a makeup artist to do your hair and makeup for your session. Currently, I don’t work with a MUA regularly.
How soon will I receive my final images?
Your photos will be ready in 2 weeks from date payment is received. If you need your headshots edited sooner than you can choose to pay an additional $50 to have the images edited one week sooner.

Scheduling and Payments
I’m normally available for shooting Monday through Friday and like to start around 11 am - I’m not a morning person - BUT I’m happy to tweak the time of your booking, so feel free to request the best time that might work for you. Also, I find it is best to not book during time where you have some important to attend after your session since shoots can run longer if
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to book/ secure a spot. The fee is due at the time of booking a shoot date and time. If the available times don't work for you, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask! We are flexible and at times can possibly get you in on a weekend if need be as well.
We accept cash, checks, as well as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, and Venmo. The remaining balance is due the day of the session.
We work with freelance makeup artists and you will be paying them directly, they require cash on the day of the shoot.
