Photography services
Headshots, brand and lifestyle sessions, product and e-commerce. Shot in our own 1,800 square foot studio, or on location with our lighting rather than whatever the room happens to have.
Four kinds of session
Prices are for us shooting, editing and delivering. Renting the studio to shoot it yourself is a different thing entirely and starts at $125.
The shoot is the short part
A brand session is two or three hours in front of a camera and considerably longer afterwards.
Culling several hundred frames to the ones worth keeping, colour, retouching, and delivering them at the sizes each platform actually wants — that is where the days go, and it is the difference between a folder of photographs and a set you can use.
If you want the room and the lighting and would rather do the rest yourself, rent the studio. $125 for two hours, everything included, and you keep the files.
What you get
Shot in a real studio
Most headshot photographers work out of a converted room, or arrive at your office with a backdrop stand and hope.
We shoot in 1,800 square feet with nine-foot ceilings, a cyc wall, nineteen seamless colours and lighting that stays rigged. Full-length works. A group works. The background is a decision rather than whatever fits behind you.
Free parking at the door, a changing room, and a meeting room upstairs if a team is rotating through on a headshot day.
Photography questions
How much does a headshot session cost?
$295 for an individual session — about an hour, two or three looks, five finished images. Team headshots are $125 a head with a five-person minimum, because the lighting setup happens once regardless of how many people walk through it.
How much is a brand photography session?
$550 for a half day and $1,100 for a full day, including editing and delivery. A half day is the right size for most small businesses; a full day suits a launch or a full site rebuild.
Can you photograph our whole team in one day?
Yes, and it is the cheapest way to do it. We set up once and work through people on a schedule so everyone gets the same lighting and background.
Do you shoot on location?
Yes, across the Triangle and the Sandhills, with our own lighting and grip. Travel within an hour of Sanford is included.
How long until we get the images?
Ten working days, usually sooner, delivered in an online gallery at web and print resolution.
Do we own the photographs?
You get full usage rights for your business. We retain copyright and will not use images of you in our own marketing without asking first.
