Prices on the page, because your morning is worth more than a back-and-forth.

These are starting points, not a checkout. The right tier depends on the work, the location, and how you will use the images.

Questions worth answering.

Why are your prices on the site?

Because hiding the number wastes your morning and mine. The tiers are real starting points; a custom quote just adds up the extras you actually need.

Do I own the photos?

Yes. You get a private gallery, you download the finished files, and they're yours to use. I license editorial usage separately, but brand and portrait files are yours to keep.

Where do you shoot?

Minneapolis–St. Paul for the base rates, and anywhere the work is for travel plus expenses. In-studio or on your location — whichever makes the pictures better.

How much retouching?

Enough to look finished, not enough to look fake. I keep skin like skin and clean up the distractions. Tell me if you want more or less.

How fast do I get them?

Portraits in about a week, brand galleries in about two, usually sooner. Rush delivery is an add-on when you're on a real deadline.

What if the weather or my schedule turns?

We reschedule. For outdoor sessions I build in a backup date at the consult so a grey sky doesn't cost you the shoot.

How far out should I book?

Brand days book four to six weeks out; portraits often land inside two. If your date is closer than that, ask anyway — holds move and rush is a thing I actually do.

How does licensing work?

Brand and portrait galleries come with broad usage for your own channels, spelled out in the quote. Editorial and paid-media placements are licensed to the placement — you pay for the reach you use, nothing more.
