How To Book:

 

To secure your shoot, a non-refundable deposit of $50 is required. This can be paid via Venmo (preferred) or PayPal. The remaining balance is due at the end of your session and can be paid by cash, check, Venmo, or PayPal.

 

What’s Included:

 

Please stick to the maximum number of looks I allow, as we won’t have enough time for more. Within 3-5 days after the shoot, you’ll receive 1-2 download links to all your images via WeTransfer. You’ll also get access to a private, password-protected gallery for easy sharing with agents, managers, friends, and family.

 

Retouching:

 

Included with your shoot is 1 free retouched image, ideal for print or casting sites. Additional retouching is available for $25 per image via Venmo. For more advanced edits (like removing large logos, changing clothing colors, or altering backgrounds), the cost is $40 per image.

 

How You Receive Your Images After The Shoot:

 

Within 3-5 days of the shoot, you'll receive a downloadable link with all your images. Typically, you’ll get 1-2 links. Please download them as soon as possible, as the links expire after 7 days.

​

Additionally, you’ll get a link to a private, password-protected gallery that you can share with your agent or manager.

 

Hair/Makeup:

 

I do not offer hair and makeup services, but you are welcome to bring your own artist. If you choose to handle your own makeup and touch-ups, there’s a small bathroom available for styling and changes between looks. Men are welcome to shave in between looks, but you must bring your own towels and supplies, and clean up thoroughly afterward.

​

If you bring your own makeup artist, please ensure both of you arrive ready to begin shooting at your scheduled time. Your artist will need to stay on set during the shoot, but will not be allowed to remain at my studio during breaks.

Where We Shoot:

 

I am based in Pasadena, CA, and we shoot outdoors using natural light.

 

When We Shoot:

 

Due to lighting conditions, I recommend scheduling your shoot between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM.

 

I offer 2 time slots available per day:

 

Morning shoot     10:00 AM - 1:00 PM 

Afternoon shoot     4:00 PM - 7:00 PM

 

Cancellations and Reschedules:

 

If weather conditions (rain, heavy clouds, etc.) prevent us from shooting, I’ll offer to reschedule or refund your deposit.

​

For cancellations or reschedules, please provide at least 48 hours’ notice. If you cancel less than 48 hours in advance, your deposit will not be refunded, as I block out time specifically for your shoot.

Thank you for understanding. 

 

Some Simple Guidance When Planning Looks:

 

The two most important shots to get are a commercial and a theatrical shot.

​

For commercial looks, aim for bright, vibrant colors like teal, yellow, lime green, or purple. Layer with jackets, button-ups, or sweaters to add depth. Popular commercial looks include professional or casual employee types, like a bright polo, plaid shirt, or preppy tech style.

​

For theatrical shots, go for more muted tones like brown, gray, maroon, navy, or forest green. Avoid white, black, and red unless specifically requested by your agent, or used as part of a layered look.

Bring a variety of options for mixing and matching. Avoid hats (unless it’s for a specific style like hipster), large logos, or distracting graphics. If you wear glasses, it’s best to have the lenses popped out for a clearer look.

​

As a rule of thumb: bring a mix of bold colors and muted tones, with options that reflect the type of roles you’re going for.
