For those of you who've taken quite a few headshots in your lives, you know that the ordeal can be stressful and sometimes quite disappointing. Not any more!

Just imagine having the photo just taken of your child pop up on a TV Monitor in front of you. Imagine critiquing and deciding that his or her hair needs a little modification, or that he or she is wearing the wrong color . . right then and there. We take some more photos and decide that the background is a little too dark . . . and with a push of a button or two . . voila! Then we find out that your son or daughter looks better from the left side than from the right, and that when he or she smiles too broadly, his or her eyes get "squinty." We try this and that, walking to a mark, saying various things, thinking of various emotions, different body angles, sitting, standing, lying on the floor, reclining, leaning, joking, playing . . . constantly shooting pictures. And as the session continues, you see more and more photos you like.

Together we select all of the "maybe's", and print proof sheets for you to take home the same day. As soon as you decide which pictures you like, give us one day to retouch, put your child's name and a border on the photos and make up a sample 8x10 of each and a CD for you to take to the duplicating lab.

PRICES

Why conserve on the number of images taken? - This is DIGITAL and there is no film or proof sheet cost! I take about 50-75 pictures of each "set-up." With some children I have to take more, and that's not a problem. A set up consists of a clothing change and usually a change in the background and lighting. When a customer calls and tells me what he or she is looking for, it's pretty clear how many set-ups or how many "looks" the actor or the agent is looking for. 99% of the time it fits into one of the packages below.

We have special reduced prices for children. Please call for prices if you have a child 13 years old or younger.

You'll see that the last column is "# Retouched." This is a special incentive. It not only includes touching up your photo, but also putting a border and your name on it as well. This will save you the set up charges at the duplication lab. Should you want additional photos retouched, the average cost per retouch is $27.50 - $35.00.
