You are not wrong.
Photographers do not have to hide their pricing. But many of them do. They hide it behind forms and filters, behind "inquire for details" and "request a quote."
They think if they make you ask, they can get you on the phone. A charming voice. A little pressure. A soft sell before you ever see a number.
I think that is a disservice to you.
You are capable of looking at a price, reading what you get, and deciding for yourself. You do not need a salesman. You need honesty.
So here it is. No secrets. No games. Just what I offer, what it costs, and why.
 
The Intro | $250
This is for a quick headshot refresh. One solid image for LinkedIn. An actor who needs a new headshot. Anyone who wants a polished, professional photo without a long session.
You get 30 minutes of shooting. One location. One outfit. Basic editing. Three high-resolution digital files. Delivery in five days.
It costs $250 because it is focused. You are not paying for a long session. You are paying for 30 minutes that deliver exactly what you need. No wasted time. No extra fluff.
The Profile | $425
This is the one most clients choose.
It is for graduates who want to remember their achievements, Couples who want natural, confident portraits, or even small business owners who need images for their website and social media.
In 60 minutes of shooting, you get one location. one outfit, basic editing and eight high-resolution digital files delivered in just four days.
It costs $425 because it gives you time to warm up. It gives me time to find your best angles. You walk away with a gallery of images, not just one or two.
 
The Signature | $650
This is my best value package.
It is for clients who want range. Perhaps you want to shoot in studio and on location. With this 90-minute session, you have time for both.
You get 90 minutes of shooting, up to two locations, up to two outfits, advanced editing, fifteen high-resolution digital files and delivery in three days.
The key value driver is the advanced editing. Have insecurities about skin imperfections? Flyaway hairs in the frame? Wind wrinkled your clothes. I can correct all of that. You get more for your money here than anywhere else on this list.
The Ultimate | $1,100
This is for clients who want the full experience. Three hours of shooting. Multiple locations. Multiple outfits. A gallery that leaves no moment behind.
You get three hours of shooting, up to three locations and outfits, advanced editing, full gallery buyout with every usable image from the session, a Main Character Energy lifestyle video for social, and a champagne shake all delivered in just two days.
You're not buying a photoshoot with the Ultimate Package. You're buying a day where you feel like the main character. No cropping. No watermarks. No limits. This is for clients who want everything.
You can pay in full or split your session into four interest-free payments at checkout. Same price. No hidden fees.
I offer this because sticker shock is the No. 1 reason people are reluctant to book a photographer. I get it, you have other financial considerations, and I want to make a living. Affirm and Klarna give us a happy medium. You get the session you want that doesn't break the bank, and I get compensated.
The Bottom Line: You do not need to fill out a form to see my prices. You do not need a sales call. You do not need to wonder what you are paying for.
It is all right here. Clear. Transparent. No surprises.
If you are ready, book your session. If you have questions, ask. No hard sell. No charm offensive. Just good portraits and honest pricing.
