PRICES
The prices below are the standard rates for typical sessions. Larger groups, extended coverage, travel, multiple locations, or projects with additional production needs may require a custom quote.
You will know what your session costs and what is included before booking. Most family and senior sessions include the full edited gallery, with no surprise image fees afterward.
FAMILY SESSIONS
Standard session: $550
For one immediate family and a standard portrait session in Chapel Hill or nearby.
Most sessions include planning, location and clothing guidance, professional editing, a private online gallery, and the full collection of edited digital images.
Seasonal Southern Village sessions are available at a local rate of $450. Extended families and larger groups are quoted separately.
SENIOR PORTRAITS
Express Session: $350
Full Session: $450
Express sessions are shorter and more focused. Full sessions allow more time, outfit variety, and a more customized experience.
Both options include planning, location and wardrobe guidance, professional editing, and a private online gallery.
BUSINESS HEADSHOTS
Express Session: $350
Full Studio Session: $450
The Express Session includes a gallery of approximately 10–15 images and three fully retouched final photographs.
The Full Studio Session takes place in my Chapel Hill home studio and allows more time for outfit changes, posing variety, and a broader range of finished photographs.
I guide posing and expression throughout, so you are not left alone in front of the camera trying to remember what a natural face looks like.
CORPORATE & TEAM HEADSHOTS
Typically around $150 per person for teams of fewer than 10 people
Final pricing depends on the number of people, location, background, lighting setup, scheduling, retouching requirements, and whether group photographs are also needed.
Teams of approximately 10 to 15 people are a particularly good fit for the way I work: consistent results, efficient scheduling, and enough attention to make each person look like an individual rather than employee number seven.
Larger teams and more complex setups receive a custom quote.
EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY
Starting at $650 for two hours of coverage
Final pricing depends on coverage time, location, attendance, travel, image usage, and the type of photographs needed.
Coverage may include candid moments, guest interactions, speakers, presentations, details, décor, and group photographs. Professionally edited images are delivered through a private online gallery.

When a project needs a custom quote, I will explain what affects the price rather than producing a mysterious number from the fog.
PAYMENT AND POLICIES
A $50 booking fee reserves your session date.
The remaining balance is due after session, typically the day after the photo shoot.
Corporate and event payment schedules may vary depending on the scope of the project.
