Pricing
How much do sessions cost?+
Professional Headshots start at $150 (30 minutes); Creative Portraits sessions start at $250 (1 hour); Fine Art Boudoir & Nude sessions start at $500 (3 hours). Full payment is collected at booking to confirm your session. Looking for something longer — a full-day creative shoot or event/video production? Reach out directly for a custom quote.
Can I use the photos for press or promotional purposes?+
Yes — sessions booked for press, promo, or archival use include a usage license for that purpose. Reach out if you need something broader (album art, paid advertising, etc.) and we can work out terms.
Session Process
How long does a session take?+
It depends on the style — standard sessions run 30 minutes to a few hours, and full-day rates are available for event or creative video production. Exact durations for each session type are shown when you book.
What happens during a session?+
Arrive on time and we'll spend the first few minutes talking through the goals for the shoot, along with anything I should know going in — disabilities, allergies, or posing challenges — so the session is comfortable and works for you.
What to Wear
What should I wear or bring?+
Come in whatever you're comfortable traveling in — you'll change on-site. For the actual session, bring something suited to the style: more formal for professional headshots, or simple pieces and costume looks for creative portraits.
Privacy & Discretion
How is my privacy handled for boudoir/nude images?+
Images are stored privately on a secure drive in my home — never on a public or shared cloud. Whether any images are ever shown publicly is entirely your choice: fully public, public with your face/features cropped out, or completely private and never shared.
Will I need to sign anything?+
Yes — a model release and booking agreement, sent for you to review and sign online before your session.
Logistics
Where are sessions held? Is there parking?+
The studio is at 2101 W Broadway Ave, Suite 208, Columbia, MO — in the Crossroads plaza. Parking is free on-site; the easiest entrance is up the stairs by Planet Fitness, and there's also a ramp for accessible entry.
How far ahead do I need to book, and can I reschedule?+
Sessions can be booked online starting 24 hours out and up to a year in advance. Need to cancel or reschedule? You can do that yourself online up to 48 hours before your session for a full refund — inside that window, just reach out directly.
Do you need photo pit or backstage access?+
For ticketed venue shows, photo pit or backstage access is typically arranged through the venue or artist's management ahead of time — let me know your venue and I can coordinate whatever credentials are needed.
