FAQs
How much do your portrait packages cost?
My services cater to a wide range of needs, so pricing depends on the scope of your project. For example, a passport photo requires less time and planning than a corporate session with 50 customized headshots.
Individual packages start at $250, with most full-service sessions—including consultations, creative guidance, and multiple images—ranging between $300 and $450.

Why do photographers retain the copyright to the images that we make together?
When you purchase photos from me, you’re actually buying a license to use those photos in specific ways—this is called "image licensing." I, as the photographer, retain the copyright, meaning I own the photos. Think of it like buying a book—you can read it, but you can’t reproduce or sell it without the author’s permission.
By retaining the copyright, I can ensure my work is protected and used as agreed upon. It also means that if you need to use the photo in another way down the line—like for a billboard or a book cover—you can come back to me to arrange the appropriate rights.
This structure ensures you’re only paying for the type of use you need while allowing me to continue creating high-quality work for all my clients.
What is the difference between me buying digital image licensing vs pring image licensing?
DIGITAL IMAGE LICENSING : This gives you the right to use the photo online, like on websites, social media, or email campaigns. It’s a great option if your focus is on digital platforms. However, this doesn’t cover printing the photo or using it in any physical materials.f
PRINT IMAGE LICENSING : This allows you to print the photo, whether it’s for brochures, flyers, posters, or any other physical material. Print rights cost more because once something is printed, it has a longer lifespan and wider distribution potential, which adds more value to the image.
Regardless of which license you buy any images purchased will be retouched in exquisite detail and both high resolution and social-media scaled file sizes will be provided.
DO YOU RELEASE RAW FILES? CAN I BUY THEM FOR LESS THAN RETOUCHED IMAGES?
I only release the selected, ordered, and retouched images because I want each of my clients to have nothing but the best results at the end of our time working together! The joke I always make is that a good chef wouldn’t be doing anyone any favors by charging less to send a half cooked chicken to a table and I feel the same way about my images. The truth is that I hope that if someone likes a photo enough to want it that they’ll see the value in purchasing them so I can give each file the full attention it deserves!
