STUDIO PORTRAITS
(including children & dogs)

What To Expect


I am a fine art portrait photographer for people who want beautiful photos hand retouched and printed on fine art paper.


Two Locations

Photoshoots are available at two location options: my studio in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City, or my studio in Chagrin Falls, Ohio.


Wardrobe Assistance

Bring multiple outfits to a studio photo session for a variety of looks. Plain clothing generally looks best. Patterns can be distracting. Also, it is best to avoid all black or all white clothing.


High-Quality Retouching

Your images selected for fine art prints are retouched by hand to enhance your best features and to deliver optimal color, clarity, and detail in the final image. 


Cost

Each photoshoot costs $250 and includes the studio session with either a black background or a white background or both. Payment is due at the time of the shoot and can be paid in cash or check.


Fine Art Prints

Fine art prints are sold separately from the photo shoot. Each image ordered is retouched by hand before printing on fine art paper. The three types of fine art paper available are previewed before the photoshoot, as the finished product is very different than commercially printed photographs.

Print Pricing (depending on paper choice)

  • 5 X 7 for $35 to $45 (nice for relatives)

  • 8 X 10 for $50 to $60 (nice for desks or shelves)

  • 11 X 17 for $110 to $135 (nice for hanging on walls, the size I have in my home)

  • 15 X 20 (not 22) for $200 to $225 (bigger for hanging on walls)

Custom sizes are also available.

Retouching is $75 per hour and is a one time per image fee. Most images take between 10-15 minutes. 


Digital Files

One digital file formatted for reprinting 5X7 or smaller is free if the print order (excluding retouching fees) is over $200. The file must be one of the images in the print order. This file can be used for anything you want – you own the copyright! You can use it for the yearbook, for a holiday card, college applications, graduation announcements, etc.

Digital files cost $100 per image fully retouched if the order is below $200.

Special: For every $200 you spend on your print order, you "earn" another free digital file from your print order.
