- What is included in the $250 session fee?
- Includes your studio session, live tethered direction, and one finished image. We work through multiple wardrobe looks and background tones while reviewing every frame on screen together, so you choose your favorite before you leave. A finished image is retouched: color correction, skin, eyes, facial lines, teeth, clothing wrinkles, hair flyaways, and background cleanup.
- Can I buy more images, or keep the entire shoot?
- Yes. You can add individual retouched images for $125 each, or upgrade to All Images, $600 total: 4 finished, retouched files plus every unedited shot from your session. Additional retouching $35 each. You can decide during your session or afterward in your private online gallery.
- What are the unedited files in the All Images package?
- They are the high-resolution frames straight out of the camera: the exact same images you reviewed on the monitor during your shoot. Because the lighting and direction are dialed in during the session, even the unedited frames look strong, and you can request full retouching on any of them later for $35 each.
- How does group pricing work?
- Three people are $750 ($250 each). Each additional person is $125, up to ten people ($1,625). Available in my Teaneck studio or on location at your office. For teams of more than ten, contact me for a custom day rate.
- Why is the Portrait Session $450 if two headshots would be $375?
- A Headshot Session ($250) is built specifically around head-and-shoulders framing. We vary your wardrobe, expression, and background tone within a dedicated headshot lighting design. A Portrait Session ($450) is a broader production: we spend up to two hours building entirely new lighting environments, backdrops, and three-quarter or full-length setups.
- Do you retouch the images?
- Every finished image is retouched by me, not outsourced or run through an automated filter. The goal is a photograph that looks like you on a very good day.
- Do I need to know how to pose?
- No. Direction is built into every session, and you can see each adjustment on screen as we go. You will never be asked to smile on command.
- How do I pay?
- Request a date and I will confirm it personally. Payment is handled when we confirm your session.
