Do you offer group rates for headshots?
Each individual headshot is priced separately, regardless of whether I’m photographing an individual or a group. Please refer to the pricing section for more details.
How does pricing work for multiple outfits?
Each outfit change is treated as a separate session. The fee covers one retouched headshot per session.

Your gallery will be available for about 90 days but may be removed shortly after the assignment is completed unless otherwise requested.
Can I download unretouched versions of my headshots?

Why is there an additional fee for post-session retouching?
The add-on fee covers the extra time and effort involved in revisiting and editing the headshot after the initial session.
Can you provide black & white versions of my headshots?
Yes, I can convert selected headshots to black & white as part of the retouching process at no additional charge.
Studio Setup & Space Requirements
How much space do you need for your setup?
A space approximately 8–10 feet wide by 12–14 feet deep works best for my portable studio. This allows room for proper lighting, backdrop placement, and comfortable positioning. I can adjust for smaller spaces if necessary.
