What's Included
Two-hour session
Sessions can take place indoors, outdoors, or both, weather permitting. While there is no strict limit on looks, most actors find that four or five thoughtfully planned changes create the strongest results without feeling rushed.
Same-day image review
All high-resolution images are uploaded the night of your shoot in a private online gallery designed for easy viewing, sharing, and selection. The images I feel are strongest will be marked to help guide the process.
Retouched images included
Two professionally retouched high-resolution images are included with every session and delivered digitally for unrestricted use.
Full-resolution downloads
All of your images are yours to access and download. There are no additional unlock fees or restrictions tied to image access.
Ego-free guarantee
I'm here to help, not intimidate. My goal is to create an environment where you feel comfortable, confident, and free to be yourself in front of the camera.

Basic grooming and styling for actor headshots
Non-binary and gender non-conforming clients are booked based on styling needs, hair length, and the amount of on-set support required rather than gender identity. I'm always happy to help determine the best fit if you're unsure which option makes the most sense for your session.

Scheduling

Sessions can be booked online through my calendar system, where you can view current availability and request a shoot date directly.

If you do not see a time that works for you, feel free to reach out and I will always do my best to accommodate your schedule whenever possible.

Once your session is booked, I'll send over a detailed pre-shoot guide with suggestions on wardrobe, styling, preparation tips, and other helpful information to help get ready for your shoot.
