Basic Pricing Information - Business Head Shots / Portraits

This information is intended to provide you with an approximate price for typical assignments.   I am pleased to discuss the specifics of your assignment and provide you quality photos at a competitive price.

Business Portraits

Business portraits or "head shots" are my bread and butter assignment. In general the photos are taken at my client's office or other location.  Price is determined by the number of subjects.  The greater the number of people I am photographing, the lower the per-person cost. 

Note:  I only shoot on location.  I do not have a studio..

Portraits take less than 5 minutes per person.  You can choose from several standard backgrounds with light to dark gray being the most popular.   If necessary I can  match existing backgrounds that your company is already using at a small additional cost.

I guide you through simple poses and take about 10 photos.  You get to see the photos immediately to check that one or more look acceptable, and will have online proofs within 48 hours.

Once your final image is selected, it will be retouched, then delivered to you as jpgs in two sizes;  a large one for print use, a small one for email and web use.  The price includes retouching of ONE jpg.  If you need additional jpgs retouched, there is an additional $15 charge per jpg.

What to wear:

I usually suggest a solid jacket, dress or suit in gray or navy.  Shirts or blouses can be any color, but subdued "classic" colors work best.  Avoid busy or loud patterns in shirts, blouses or ties. 

Retouching

Your final choices include basic retouching.  Lines under the eyes are minimized, blemishes are removed, skin is smoothed just a bit, and loose hairs trimmed.  Upon request, I can visually "remove a few pounds", but all retouching looks very natural.
Prices

Prices for Business Portraits / Head Shots are determined by the number of subjects I am photographing during the same photo session.  I can spend a few minutes photographing one person, or spend an entire day at your office photographing your entire staff.
