What are your rates?
In a nut shell, pricing is as follows. Please read the descriptions below for more information about each investment.
Mini Sessions (30 min) $300
Hourly $500
Hourly (music) $400
Day rate (8 hours) $3500
Live music coverage (first three songs) $150
Jewelry product $30 per piece, minimum 6 pieces
Mini sessions $300
Mini sessions are 30 minutes long and usually produce anywhere from 30-100 images. These sessions do not accomodate a location or wardrobe change. These sessions work best for headshots, family photos (especially with restless kids), and couples sessions. Mini sessions must be paid in full at the time of booking.
Hourly rate $500
A one hour session typically produces 50-150 images and produces much more versatility than a mini session. These sessions can include a location switch within a couple of miles or a wardrobe change. These sessions are best for engagements, multi person headshots and group photos, conceptual portraits or sessions that involve styling and art direction. These sessions require a nonrefundable deposit of 50% due at the time of booking.
Hourly (music) $400
I offer discounted hourly rates for my musical clientele. The investment is otherwise the same as the hourly rate listed above.
Day rate (8 hours) $3,500
Any booking over 8 hours will receive a slight price break in my hourly fee in the form one comped hour. These rates are best for wedding, elopement, fashion, and travel projects. A non refundable 50% deposit is due at the time of booking.
Live Music coverage (first 3 songs) $150
Industry standard for live music is coverage of the first three songs unless otherwise cleared with the venue. NO flash will be used. It’s important to note that the size of the stage/room and the sophistication of the light design greatly impacts the versatility of the session. Payment is due in full at the time of booking. Ask about adding BTS coverage to your session.
Jewelry/product $30 per piece
(Minimum 6 pieces)
In person or remote. Your choice of either mailing the product (and props, if applicable) or working together in person to photograph your pieces. I often hold onto props and different styling tools for returning clients who regularly send products to be photographed. This price includes two angles of each piece. Base price is due at the time of booking.
Note: Additional images may be negotiated such as stacked rings, side by sides of metal variants, side by side of stone variants, side by side of size variants, full collection etc.
Art Direction
I’m happy to help you plan your shoot to the best of my ability. Prior to your shoot we can discuss location, styling, and the best use of light to achieve what is you’d like to convey.
What? Do I need this?
If you’re a band then yes. You do. Especially if you’re an all male bluegrass band. Shade thrown.
Art direction will mostly apply to headshot or press photo sessions where the client has not considered how to represent themselves or their brand visually. Working with me prior to your session will stop you from taking a photo in front of a brick wall or on train tracks.
Location
I have an extensive list of locations to recommend along the North Shore and within the city of Duluth. Minneapolis is a little newer to me but my creativity is growing further into the edges of this city every day. If you see your session in a studio, I can recommend a couple space to rent hourly.
Styling
If you need a little help with wardrobe just let me know and I’ll help you the best I can. Make sure to bring clothing that you’re comfortable in and that make you feel like you. I can help you pick out something that fits well and works with the environment that you’ve chosen for your session.
FAQ
How Will i receive my gallery?
You will be sent a password protected gallery via a platform called Pixieset. You will have access to web size and high resolution file downloads. Your collection will be hosted for 6 months. You are responsible for downloading the full gallery and backing up the images within this time frame. If you require access to the images after the gallery has expired I require a $50 unarchiving fee.
What about prints?
You will not receive any printed photos as a part of my photography packages though I am happy to send you recommendations for printing on your own. For the best results, use the high resolution files from your gallery and follow the file requirements provided by the printer. It is never recommended that you crop or alter the orientation of any of the images when ordering prints.
What is your travel fee?
When do you charge one?
Travel by car:
Mileage is included within 45 miles of Minneapolis, MN. After that, I charge $1 per mile traveled
Travel by air:
If the project requires air travel for the session, I will arrange airfare, transportation to and from airports, car rental and/or any other reasonable travel expenses in relation to attending the session- all of which must be reimbursed to me prior to traveling.
