Portrait Photoshoot Information
Editorial portrait/headshot session: $575+HST
The classic, portrait/headshot session. The session is a total time of 60 minutes in the studio and 45 minutes of shoot time.
I set-up two different backdrops, flattering lighting, and you would have time for 2 wardrobe changes. Also included is a phone call planning session where we discuss overall objective and I will advise on wardrobe. During the photoshoot, I will guide you through the whole posing process so please don’t worry if you aren’t comfortable in front of the camera :) I will shoot a mix of headshots and full-length options. You will receive your images within three weeks in an online, password protected gallery where you can select your 20 favourite images and then I retouch them for you. Your final images are delivered in both colour and black and white. The studio rental is an additional cost and can range from $75-$100/hr. Examples images below.
Environmental portraits, celebration portraits & branding portraits: $750+HST
These portrait sessions are perfect if you would like to incorporate the environment or include elements of your business. These sessions are 90 minutes in length and can go for up to two hours or longer if needed. I often shoot these for women who want to celebrate a milestone. These sessions usually require more planning and more creativity. Often a combination or natural light and strobe lighting is used. We would start with a phone call planning sessions to figure out the best studio to shoot out of and plan wardrobe together. The studio rental is an additional cost and can range anywhere from $75-$100/hr.
You will receive your images within three weeks of the shoot in an online, password protected gallery where you can select your 25 favourite images and then I retouch them for you. Your final images are delivered in both colour and black and white. Examples images below.

Yes! browse through the galleries on my website or check out my Instagram and let me know which colour(s) speak to you. Many of the hand painted canvases you see in my work were painted by me. Or perhaps you’d like to keep it simple and shoot on a white/grey/black background and that is great too!
