Photography services

The catalogue above is the whole of what is shot, grouped into eight families: portraits and seniors, couples and proposals, family and newborn, weddings and elopements, travel and vacation, business and branding, real estate and food, and the events that fit nowhere else.

The list is shorter than it used to be, and deliberately. A service earns its own page when somebody searches for it by name, when what it delivers is genuinely different, and when its page would say something the page next to it does not. Fail any of the three and it belongs inside another service as a paragraph rather than as a URL — which is why there is one headshot page covering LinkedIn, actor and realtor briefs instead of three near-identical ones, and why "lifestyle portrait" is gone entirely.

What did earn a page is the American shape of this market. Senior portraits are one of the largest consumer photography categories in this country and have no European equivalent at all. Engagement sessions are a distinct purchase from couple sessions, with a save-the-date deadline attached. A team headshot day is bought by an HR department rather than by a person. Quinceañera coverage is a five-hour event with a court of fourteen. None of those are variations on a portrait.

Each service carries a starting price, and that price is the number you pay. It covers the photographer’s time, the selection and the colour work afterwards, and a private gallery at full resolution. There is no per-image charge, no retouching upsell and no travel supplement inside the metro you booked. Where a session needs a location permit, the fee is named before you book.

The number that makes those prices comparable is the one most photographers leave out: how many edited photographs you actually receive. It is stated on every service here rather than described as a selection, because "from $295" means one thing at ten images and something entirely different at forty. Session length is published for the same reason. Two figures and a price are enough to compare any two quotes in this industry, and almost nobody publishes all three.

Where two services look alike, the page for each says plainly which one you want and sometimes recommends the cheaper. A couple session and an engagement session differ by an outfit change, a second location and the crops a save-the-date needs. A headshot answers what you look like and a branding session answers what you do. If the only thing you need is a photograph of your face, the headshot page says so and costs less than half — a catalogue that will not tell you that is selling rather than advising.
