Location Portraits and Publicity Photography
Family portraits are an enduring keepsake to be treasured by every member of the family. I provide family portraits shot on location in the comfort and convenience of the home or an outdoor site of your choice.
I also shoot shoot environmental portraits and character studies of individuals, on location. Unless you live in a photo studio in front of a muslin backdrop, studio portraiture says little about who you are and what you do. I'll go to your home, kitchen, your garage, your garden, your boat... to capture wherever you are and whatever you do when you are most genuinely being yourself. Portrait rates and information also apply to bands, dancers and other performing artists in need of live performance and publicity photos. Prints priced separately.

Despite what some studios seem to suggest, models do not "buy" their portfolio. And model portfolios are not needed to break into the industry. Portfolios grow and develop over a period of time. They are a visual track record of work a model has done with a variety of photographers. In TFCD or TFP (time for CD or prints) sessions, models offer their time in exchange for images on a CD or for prints they may use in their model portfolio or for other forms of publicity. Many of the photos I submit to stock agencies originate from TF* sessions, so models of all ages and experience levels are encouraged to contact me. For additional information, view my member site at ModelMayhem.

   ...There is NO CHARGE for TF* sessions.
   ...Signing a model release is required
   ...Model receives CD of best images, fully edited and ready for printing
   ...Model may purchase prints, if desired, at PHOTO PRICES below

Model Composites and quantity Publicity Prints
I can supply large-quantity, duplicate photos in sizes ranging from 4x5 postcards to 20x24 posters. The prints are fine-screen and printed on heavy, semi-gloss paper. They resemble conventional darkroom or ink-jet prints, but are actually lithographs that are producible at a fraction of the cost.  These are useful for models who require composite cards featuring a headshot and several other poses and for entertainers who distribute their publicity
photos in bulk quantities.

Comp cards can be bordered or borderless, can feature subject's supplied logos or artwork and such text as name, numbers and addresses, etc. in a variety of typesets. Lithographs are also ideal for product sheets and any other application that requires volume reproduction. Also available are flip cards -- 5.5x8.5 composites that feature a model's headshot on the front and up to four photos on the back.  For prices, please inquire.

Weddings
Wedding coverage includes a casual, pre-bridal session with the bride or couple; wedding day preparations at the bride's home (optional); coverage of the wedding ceremony; post-ceremony formal photos at the church and/or alternate location; and reception coverage.

Boudoir Photography
Boudoir photography is intimate and sensual private portraiture ordinarily shot on location in a lady's bedroom, dressing room or other suitable setting. Most commonly, boudoir photos are a highly personal and romantic gift item for couples and may typically be commissioned by either partner. Depending on her comfort level, the subject may choose to appear clothed, nude or semi-nude. Every assurance is given that the images will be flattering, tasteful and shot according to the subject's wishes. The environment will be familiar, comfortable, professional and pressure free. Images from boudoir photo sessions, like those from any other session, are copyrighted and owned by the photographer. Signing of a model release is required. However, boudoir images are for the client's eyes only, are never published or sold and would never appear in a portfolio without the subject's approval. For security and personal comfort, escorts are welcome, but must remain outside the room when the session is in progress.
   ...Session price: $150, with $75 due upon booking; $75 balance paid at completion of session

Commercial Photography
Commercial photography is offered on a half- or full-day rate per job. The rate covers the service of the shoot based on time. Product (i.e., prints, transparencies, ditigal images) is billed separately at a price that will vary according to intended usage and licensing sought. Extensive post-production and itemized expenses (i.e., MUA/stylist, assistants, rentals) are all additional charges to the client. For more information, please inquire.
