Business Photography
This is a typical business portrait. It is done at our studio and costs $60 (we have a discount for non-profits). We will make 6 or 8 images on average, and you will see them on the computer. You pick the one you want, and I will retouch it, and send you a 4x6 print and an electronic
file on a disk, with a copyright release so you can get prints made elsewhere if you want. We can also do this on location for groups of employees for $125 per hour -- details such as electronic file sizes, number of shots per employee, print sizes, etc., to be negotiated.
This is a portrait of a performer and is more dramatic, perhaps more personal, and is meant to be used for publicity -- so the performer will determine what kind of look we want to achieve. Otherwise it's like the business portrait -- it costs $60, you pick the best shot at the studio, and I then will retouch it, put it on a disk, and give you one 4x6 print.
This is an environmental portrait, done in the workplace. It is less formal and uses the space around the subject to help tell the story. We charge an hourly to come to your location and do this kind of portrait. The special effect, of reversing his image within his own computer screen, is a bonus.
Model portfolios take a couple of hours of studio time and will yield at least 10
good 8x10s for use in your book (That's 10 different poses with one 8x10 of each). Time is a little inexact because I will spend as much time as we need -- two hours is the minimum, three hours the maximum. Cost
is $260 and includes the 10 - 8x10s and a CD with copyright release so you can get additional prints made elsewhere if you want. Seniors can choose to do this instead of a traditional package.
The 10 good pictures mentioned above would consist of full-length, medium, and close-ups in different outfits against different backgrounds, with a variety of poses that we create together.
If you would like an hour on location somewhere like the beach, please add $125. We'll base the shoot on the kind of modeling you want to do and will tailor a variety of backgrounds and lighting styles to fit the look you want to create.
You get a proof book which you keep at no charge. We'll help you plan the session in advance. We do not provide hair or make-up services. Retouching will be minimal and invisible, and within the ethics of modeling (If you have a pimple that day, I will remove it, but I will not change your basic skin, hair, eyes, etc.) Our goal is to show you at your very best!
You can also use the files on the disk to get a composite card (a Zed comp card) made by a printer. Or, I can design the comp card for you as a jpg or tif file for your printing. Fee for comp card design and proofing is $60.00
A deposit of $100 is required when scheduling a portfolio shoot.
We (Kathy and Rick) always do these sessions as a team, but you should bring a helper if you can.
Print Prices:
In addition to the free prints that you get with the above packages, we can provide additional prints. Our print prices are:

Canvas wraps and stand-out mounts are available 8x10 or larger, and we will quote current prices if you are interested in those unique products. They will add $40 to $150 to the print price, depending on size.
Prints which are 11x14 and larger are delivered in a protective frame. 4x6 thru 8x10 prints are delivered in folders suitable for display.
Retouching of additional poses: $12 per pose. This is usually waived or reduced if there are only minor corrections. All additional poses will require some minimal retouching and color correction.
One reason that we provide files on a disk is so you can purchase less expensive prints at local camera stores, retail stores, or on-line if that will meet your need. This is especially true if you need quantities of prints. Avoid glossy paper -- use semi-glossy, luster, or matte. Our prints will always be better than any other source because of the high-end lab and personal quality control we maintain.
