Get ahead of the Curve with a Professional Headshot

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

• - Why choose you?

  14.5 years of full-time studio photography experience, affordable pricing, and thousands of people photographed. Since 2008 I’ve photographed business and corporate professionals, actors, models, archbishops, politicians, realtors, doctors, lawyers, and even a magician. I’ve done it all and I’m committed to delivering photographs that my customers are excited to share.

• - How many photos do you take?

  As many as needed. I'll keep taking photos until we're both satisfied that we've got some great headshots to choose from. Throughout your session, I will periodically share the images with you so that you feel confident about the results and we can make adjustments.

• - How do I pay?

  Credit/ Debit, Venmo, cash, check, and precious gem.

• - When will I get my photos?

  Your edited gallery will be sent to you within 5-7 days of your headshot session. Your final retouched images will be delivered to you within 3-5 days from the date that you choose your favorites.

• - Why are your prices so affordable?

  I believe in charging a fair price and that everyone should be able to afford a great professional headshot. Pretty simple. After moving from a smaller market, I was shocked to see the prices Chicago photographers get away with charging. Go ahead and shop around; I’ll be right here when you return.

• - What’s your studio like?

  I’ve converted 400 square feet of a large condo into a photography business; complete with a private changing area makeup mirror, and plenty of space to spread out your outfits. Please feel free to bring along a friend for moral support, hair & makeup duties, or just to help make you smile. Bonus: If you really don’t like your photos, you know where I live.

• - Do you have a makeup artist?

  No; however, I can arrange one for you. The additional cost is between you and the makeup artist with 100% of the fee going to them. Alternatively, I’m happy to work with you to schedule your session around your makeup appointment.

• - Will you coach me?

  Absolutely! That’s my job. Being photographed can be an uncomfortable experience for a lot of people. I know all of the tricks and tips to make you look amazing. I’ve photographed thousands of people throughout my career and haven’t encountered a single person who didn’t loosen up a few minutes into their session.

• - What if I don’t like how my photos turn out?

  Bad hair day, the shirt looked better in your mirror, at home, etc. – I get it. These things happen. If you’re not 100% thrilled with your headshot session, I’ll reshoot it for free or offer you a full refund.

• - Are the photos retouched?

  Yes, each session type comes with a set amount of retouched images built-in to the price. Additional retouched images can be purchased for $40 each or 3 for $100.

• - Where do I park?

  Free street parking.

• - Do you do more than headshots?

  Yes! I’ve spent the past 12 years photographing high school senior portraits, family portraits, children and newborn portraits. I absolutely love doing it. I currently take headshots out of a space that’s not quite big enough to fit families or get too creative with seniors. If you’re interested in booking a senior or family session, please contact me and we can work out a location for your photoshoot.
