IN STUDIO SESSIONS
There is a minimum cost of $267.00, which includes the first two (2) hours in the studio. There is an additional cost $66.00 for each additional hour.
Studio time by itself has a value and that value is reflected in this pricing. However, if all you need are a few headshots, or a portrait, please ask about using my smaller portrait studio. It's substantially less expensive.
SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS
I am not adverse to making special arrangements or offering special discounts if doing so can be mutually beneficial or if it supports a charity that interests me.
THURSDAY SPECIALS
Most Thursdays, in my home studio only, I offer discounted portrait sessions and portfolio critiques. My current Thursday Special is $36.00 for 6 images on a CD. Headshots, portraiture, or any other sort of studio photography that does not involve dancing or athletics are appropriate for my home studio.
I also offer TFP sessions in my home studio to performing artists and art students who meet certain criteria or who have received an invitation. For more information use this link: TFP
ON LOCATION SESSIONS
There is a minimum cost of $267.00 which includes up to the first hour on location and $66.00 for each additional hour.
Atlanta Metro: Anywhere inside the perimeter is included in the standard pricing. Outside the perimeter but within 100 miles of downtown Atlanta (with the capital building used as the center point) requires a $66.00 travel surcharge.
Beyond Atlanta: Normally my associates and I do not travel to shoots beyond 100 miles from downtown Atlanta. When we do travel we operate on a per diem of $556.00 plus expenses, each. There is a required deposit of 50% of the anticipated per diem, plus expenses, or $800.00, whichever is greater.
Beyond one hundred miles from downtown Atlanta NONE OF US travel with full kits unless we are driving. If traveling by plane we will bring only the gear that is allowed as carry-on. (This is usually enough to handle the majority of shoots.) If more gear is required it will need to be rented near the location. Studio space can be rented in larger cities, along with gear.
Permits and Releases: If permits and releases are required you are solely responsible for obtaining them BEFORE ANY OF US ARRIVE. I will be happy to advise you in this process and provide you with blank copies of my releases. Without proper releases it's possible that the images may be unusable.
