Pricing and Packages

Pricing information.

Pricing for an individual shoot is generally dependent on time estimated, equipment required (special lighting or lens), materials (such as any roll paper, props, etc), date and time of the shoot and whether it is in the studio or travel required. It is best to contact me to discuss the specifics or your needs, your budget and any flexibility you might have. I accept CC, cash, check or Paypal and gift certificates are available.
