Headshots

A theatrical/ film headshot session is $225. For that you get:
- An hour of studio time with up to 3 outfit changes.
- A mix of studio and environmental looks. My studio is in a really cool warehouse, so even in bad weather we can find awesome places to shoot!
-After our session I will sort through the images for you then spruce them up a bit (including a skin softener) so that every image you get is print ready.
-After reviewing your personal gallery, you get to select your favorite 3 images for me to retouch by hand (this will fix stray hairs, blemishes, I have digitally plucked eyebrows before!)
-A hair/ Make Up stylist is available. Make up is $65, hair and make up styling for the full shoot is $125. When I say stylist I mean it - she stays over my shoulder to make sure you look amazing in every shot.
- I might seem a touch more expensive, but you are worth it. If you are serious about your art, you need a photographer who is serious about hers. Just as you have invested in workshops and master classes, I have invested in my degree, my studio and my equipment. You. Are. Worth. It.

A modeling portfolio is $450. This included 3 hours of studio time, a hair and make up stylist, 5 looks with at least three complete hair and make up changes. This session ensures you have a nice portfolio that showcase all of your different looks! You get 6 retouches with this package, since most agencies need a high fashion look for the images on your page.

Add on session $150. Must be done within three months of a head shot session with me. This is for guys who want to grab an extra look with different facial hair or if you want to have images in your arsenal with different hair color. These are hard to do in one session, but not necessarily worth a whole new session. So the add on session was born!
-One look, one set, 20 minutes, one retouch. Great portfolio builder!

All sessions come with an email or phone consultation so that we can get the most out of our time together! Be prepared to answer a few questions about your goals and character types.

Portraits

Pixel Portrait sessions:
Family session: $300
Extended Family: Starts at $400, depends on just how many families we are including!

Family sessions include 1 hour of shoot time and 30+ finished images.

Heirloom storybook of your session: $200
Brag book (4x4 album) of your session: $50 for one, $100 for 3

Your images are precious and need to be celebrated and shared. I want you to get so much more from our time together than pixels. A beautiful storybook makes showing off your images easy and creates an heirloom to be passed down. As for locations, I love a lifestyle shoot in your home to showcase the life you have built together. I know the first thought is "oh my goodness, I need a new couch" or "this place is a wreck!" Remember - it is the house where you are building your memories and it is a part of you. Just as lovely as you are. I also love a clean studio look. I get to control the lighting so it is always pretty, and the studio is all about you – not the pretty stone arch I posed you under. The studio can be as modern or as classic as we choose – the sky is the limit.

Birthday Party sessions $400: a mini portrait session and 2 hours of birthday party coverage (these can be on separate dates.) Serve the cake, mingle and enjoy the party - I'll be there to capture the memories! I will make a keepsake book using both the portraits and the party images as well as provide a web gallery to share and a digital download of all the images.

Day in the life session $800: You documented your wedding day, why not capture all of those little things that make a day with your family so special? We will work together to come up with an amazing day for me to document with your family. I will build a custom storybook documenting this day. It will be an heirloom to pass down through generations!

Maternity session $300: we will do a mix of studio and lifestyle images.
Maternity session with journal: $400 : Same as above, but it comes with a journal to hold all of the memories of the end of your pregnancy and birth! An amazing gift not just for you, for for the baby as well.

Births / beginnings and newborns:

First 48:
There is nothing in this world better than a new baby. No matter how the child comes to you (birth, adoption, surrogacy) the first few hours of your time together are priceless. Getting to know each other. First feedings and diapers. Meeting siblings. Meeting grandparents and cousins. Having these moments documented will be a priceless keepsake in the years to come. I will come to your suite during your stay at the hospital to capture of these wonderful moments.

Newborn:
My approach to a newborn session is a bit different than most: I have a family and relationship focus to my portraits. I love to show interaction, connection and real life. Don't worry - the baby will get to be the star of the show, but instead of putting the baby in a basket (when are they ever lying about in those anyway?) I focus on how the family is living those first few days. I want to capture those special memories and save them for years to come. How does it work? I come to your home and spend a couple of hours with you. I will guide you through a few simple poses to get those first family pictures, then I will give you a chance to go grab a cup of coffee while the little one gets a few pictures alone. I will capture all the little moments in between - the diaper changes, the feedings, the little faces that you have already grown to love. Afraid of an in-home session? Don't be. Your home is where your memories are made. No need to make sure it is perfect or spotless - I am here to make you look as great as possible and that extends to your home!

Adoption:
Some families are made with a birth, some are made with a little outside help. Even though your labor ends with a trip to courtroom instead of a birthing suite, make no mistake: it was still a labor of love and should be captured. Your labor could have been up to a year long (!) so it should be celebrated all the same. I can tag along to the final hearing as your legal bonds become as forever as the bonds your hearts have already made.


A First 48 visit/ newborn session/adoption session is $300 . All of these sessions include web gallery and a digital download. Brag books (4x4 album) are $50 for one, $100 for 3.


NICU Session:

Lately several of my friends have given birth, only to have to go home and leave their hearts behind at the hospital. Though a trying time, this is also still a special time. It is still a time of bonding and love. It will also be a tale of triumph. I will come to the hospital and spend about 20 minutes (more if necessary, but we don't want to wear out the little one) in the NICU with your family. I will do a special rush edit so you can have the images within 48 hours, so you have something to comfort you when you have to leave them for the night. As a special gift I will order an ornament of my favorite image so you have something to hold at home. This session is specially priced at $175. I don't want price to keep you from having this time in your life documented.

Theater / performance/ dance:

I love to shoot the arts. If you are in need of documentation for a performance, please email me! Every situation is different, so I can't really nail down a price. We can come up with a solution to make sure you can preserve and promote your show. Click here http://mikkischaffner.smugmug.com/Theater to poke around my theater galleries.
