Custom & Specialty Coverage
Need something outside the box? Let’s build a custom quote.
Sometimes a standard session isn’t enough to cover the scope of your project. While my Identity, Narrative & Partnership sessions are designed for deep-dive branding and portraiture, I offer hourly rates for organizations that need high-quality documentation of events, conferences, or specific community projects.
Hourly Event Rate: $325 per hour plus tax
(2-hour minimum)
- The "All-In" Price: This covers everything—my time on-site, my full post-processing workflow, and a curated gallery of high-resolution, fully edited images. No hidden fees or "per-photo" charges.
- Commercial Use: Includes a standard commercial license for web, social media, and print.
- Best For: Galas, ribbon cuttings, conferences, and community outreach.
Note: Hourly rates do not include the individual headshot posing or brand strategy consulting found in my dedicated session
Understanding the Commercial License
Why professional branding is an investment, not just a photo shoot. When you book a session for your business or non-profit, you aren't just paying for my time behind the lens—you are acquiring a Commercial Use License. This is the legal "key" that allows your organization to use my intellectual property to promote your mission.
Personal vs. Commercial: What’s the difference?
Personal Use
- Purpose: Memories, family gifts, and personal social media.
- Value: Sentimental—meant for the walls of your home.
- Reach: Private or limited audience.
- Process: Capturing a moment in time.
- Licensing: Restricted to non-business use.
Commercial Use
- Purpose: Brand building, marketing, and professional representation.
- Value: Strategic & Revenue-driven.
- Reach: Public-facing (Web, Print, Ads, and Social Media).
- Process: Strategic storytelling using a Designer’s Eye.
- Licensing: Includes Full Usage Rights for your organization.
The ROI
These images are built to work. A family portrait belongs on a mantel; a commercial library belongs in your toolkit. Whether you’re winning grants, landing clients, or hiring talent, professional visuals change how the world sees your work. You aren't just paying for a photoshoot—you’re buying the fuel to move your mission forward.
