Shoot Later, Ask Questions First
With all projects we strive to gather as much information as possible up front, pre-production calls for live jobs are always included.
Often, clients who are purchasing professional photography for the first time are concerned most about cost. We get it, professional photography is an investment. If that's you, before going any further, The Photo Buyer's Guide has tips on how to spend your photo dollars wisely.
One thing we don't offer is cookie cutter pricing! Your project is unique, so pricing must be flexible in order to deliver on specs particular to your needs, not the last client's or the next one. Prices shown here range and exceptions do apply but most quotes fall somewhere in the middle. If you need ongoing work please ask about our TEST SHOOT option.
All projects are custom quoted with sample portfolio images to assure we're talking apples to apples.
eComm Shots ~ $35 to $55 each
These are simple/single product shots that do not require excess rigging or preparation. They are the "hero" shots that Amazon wants, the "silo" shots you need for your website. They are basic, they are on neutral or white backdrops. Pricing varies based on turnaround, quantity and frequency of need. All shots are white balanced, high res RGB files. One file format per image is delivered via FTP service.
Lite Life Style Shots ~ $75 to $155 each
These are the simple beauty shots that may or may not be a group of items. They include stock studio backgrounds, light propping and product preparation. They might be your "lifestyle" shots on Amazon or the lead shot on your Shopify page. Pricing varies based on turnaround, quantity and frequency of need. All shots are white balanced, high res RGB files. One file format per image is delivered via FTP service.
Hero Shots ~ $350 to $650 each
These are complex shots. They may need to fit a very tight layout with bleed for copy, or just fill a space beautifully to tell the story of your brand. They may be the slider shots you need for your website or the POP image you need for an in-store display. They are show stoppers! Pricing varies based on turnaround, quantity and frequency of need. All shots are white balanced, high res RGB files. One file format per image is delivered via FTP service.
Hourly Rates ~ $200 to $250
Projects are charged by the hour when there are clients either present in the studio or attending the shoot by remote screen share. This is often the most logical way to price a shoot for social media with lots of props, animations, intense post production and high volume needs. All shots are white balanced, high res RGB files. One file format per image is delivered via FTP service.
