Basic Fee
I charge $75 per hour with a two hour minimum. Location or studio work outside of a 60 mile driving distance of Cockeysville, Maryland will require the prevailing mileage rate. Location or studio work necessitating an overnight stay will require travel expenses.

Multiple Models
Two or more models can book the same session thereby splitting the overall cost. This is especially advantageous for sessions involving make-up artists, hair stylists or wardrobe stylists. While one model is in make-up, hair and wardrobe, the other model will be working with me, making for an efficient use of time.

Location Work
Outside of applicable travel expenses, there is no additional fee for photographing on location unless the location requires a fee for us to work there. Please discuss locations with me in advance so I can assess if the location is suitable.

Studio Work
Outside of applicable travel expenses, studio work requires an additional minimum fee of $150 to cover studio or other indoor rental cost.

MUA, Hair and Wardrobe
Fees for a make-up artist (MUA), hair stylist or wardrobe stylist are extra. You are not required to have any of these for your session. However, I strongly recommend at least hiring a MUA. A talented MUA will make a world of difference in your photos. You may find your own team or I can provide recommendations.

The Session
The session starts when you arrive and we are ready to select wardrobe and you go into make-up. The process of getting ready for photos can be lengthy, at least 30 minutes and often longer. You may spend more time in make-up and prep than you do in front of the camera. You can figure roughly one look per hour. A look is defined by the total appearance from a combination of make-up, hair, and clothing.

After the Session
Within two weeks after the session, I will mail you a disc containing all images from the session. These images will be adjusted for color and contrast and sent as full-resolution JPEGs with the sRGB color profile. You will also receive a signed usage agreement granting you rights to the images for any non-commercial purpose. This means you can use the images for promotion as a model, actor, etc. You can post them in web site portfolios and make prints from them. You can also have them retouched. However, you are not permitted to make money directly from the images. Such commercial use includes pay web sites, selling prints, selling images, etc.

Commercial Use of Images
If you wish to use your images for commercial use, contact me and we will discuss the options.

Retouching
The images you receive on disc will be adjusted for color and contrast but will not be retouched or have any other post-processing look applied in Photoshop. You may have any image retouched and processed for $40 per image. See my web site portfolio for examples of the looks I provide. The two photos below show a comparison between an image that has been adjusted for color and contrast, on the left, and the same image that has been retouched and post-processed in Photoshop, on the right.
