SERVICES | PRICING

A guide for first-time buyers of commercial photography or to help establish ballpark project budgets. We're excited to collaborate with you to tell your unique story.

Headshots - from $400 

We regularly shoot real estate agents, creatives, entrepreneurs and entire corporate offices. These are very simple head and shoulder shots, where the lighting and background is consistent for each individual being photographed. If you are looking for something more in-depth with multiple locations and outfit changes, please see the Environmental and Studio Portraits section below. If five or fewer people are being photographed, prices start at $400 for the first person and $200 for each additional. If you have more than five people, please contact us for a quote. We usually shoot in your office but can definitely accommodate just about any location. We turn finished images around within three business days unless agreed upon otherwise.

Environmental and Studio Portraits - from $1,200

Environmental portraits are photographs of subject(s) usually looking at the camera, in a space or location where the environment elevates the story. Portraits aim to highlight character and personality traits. 

Studio portraits are similar in that subject(s) are usually looking at the camera, but all distractions are removed. These images are typically shot on a paper or cloth backdrop.

Pricing can be highly variable depending on production level, makeup, usage, etc.

Corporate Events - from $800

Parties, conferences, meetings, outings, and seminars. These images are often used to document, incentivize employees, lure prospective clients or can be utilized as part of corporate reports. Billed hourly at $200/hr with an $800 minimum.

Corporate Storytelling | Corporate Reports - from $5,000

Corporate storytelling may be shot in a reportage "fly-on-the-wall" style where the subjects are engaging clients, co-workers or the task at hand rather than the camera and photographer. These assignments sometimes also utilize headshots, portraits and activated architectural spaces.

Corporate reports that leverage strong photography help your investors and stakeholders stay engaged and "see the good" you're doing rather than just be lulled to sleep with endless paragraphs and bar graphs. Corporate reports often utilize interesting details and angles of work environments and storytelling images as well as portraits and headshots.

Pricing can be highly variable depending on production level, makeup, travel, etc

Brand Narrative / Lifestyle - from $5,000

Advertising images shot in a storytelling "fly-on-the-wall" style where the subjects are engaging with a product and/or other subjects rather than the camera and photographer. These types of images often offer up an idyllic lifestyle with the product in the background or not as the main focus.

Social Media Content - from $800/mo

Please call or email to discuss your project so we can best understand your needs and quote appropriately. These types of projects can vary wildly in scope of work and price and is sometimes quoted on a retainer budget.
