General Info:
- My studio is in Santa Monica, Los Angeles. Click here for a Google Maps link.
- You pay a non-refundable deposit of $100 at the time of booking. The deposit goes towards the price of the session.
- You come to the session at my beautiful, big, air-conditioned studio in Santa Monica. Free parking, rest rooms, water dispenser, coffee, makeup station, steamer, hair dryer.
- I am lovely, unjudgemental and easy-going. I have a silly accent — unlike you, you perfectly spoken actor. I’m also really good at taking pictures. I’ve done this over 6000 times, in London, New York and LA. And I’m called Wolf! You cannot lose.
- We will take anything between 80-200 shots per look.
- The shots will be available online for review latest by the evening of the following day.
- As an add-on, I can make you a shortlist of the best shots we take to help you choose your shots more quickly.
- You decide on which shots you’d like retouched.
- You receive the retouched images within 10 working days from the day you send me your choices.
- The retouched images are good to print and to submit to Backstage/Actors Access/IMDb/Deadline.

Makeup artist:
- You can book a makeup artist for any of the sessions I offer. Just let me know that you’d like one at your session when you email me.
- The makeup artist’s fee is in addition to my session fee and is payable directly to them on the day.
- I only work with makeup artists I have vetted and who I know I can trust to be the best in the industry.
- Rate: $250 for 2 looks (minimum); + $25 each additional look; add hair +$50
- The makeup artist will be there for the entirety of the session. If you book a three-look session, the makeup artist’s fee is for three looks etc.
- Hair: We will only do light hair in the studio. This means the makeup artist will work with your hair when it’s dry and clean: they can add a little curl, or a subtle wave, or flat iron to finish your hair. That’s normally all you’ll need for a headshot session. But no blowouts or fancy updos — they tend to take too much time, and the studio is not set up for washing hair. If you’d like to have only hair done (and don’t need a makeup artist), the best thing to do is to go to a hairdresser right before the session.
Modeling digitals:
- These sessions take 20 minutes max, and cost $140. They do not include retouched shots, because the whole point with digitals is that they are absolutely natural and unretouched and show you exactly as you come through the door.
- If you’re booking an actors headshot session and also want digitals, select it as an add-on while you book.
Portraits, PR and Publicity shots
- I love doing more portraity shots, so let me know if you need something a little different. They’re a different creative process, so think of it as at least one extra look (depending on how many outfit and lighting changes you imagine you’d like). (Read more here: Portraits vs headshots) If you’d like to have a portrait style photograph as well as some headshots, let me know and we’ll discuss it beforehand. Make sure you book a session with enough looks.
Discounts:
- Only one discount per booking.
- MAY and JUNE DISCOUNT: $100 off on all actors headshot sessions booked to take place in May and June.
- Student Discount: $50 off any of my packages at all times (cannot combine with above discount).
- Military Discount: $50 off any of my packages at all times (cannot combine with above discount).
Deposit/Cancellations
When you book, you make a non-refundable deposit of $100. This goes towards the price of the session. You can postpone once with this deposit, as long as you contact me five clear days before your session. If you need to postpone again, a new deposit is payable. If you cancel or postpone the session less than five clear days before your appointed time, you forfeit your deposit.
Payments:
The remaining session payment (session fee minus deposit) must be received on or before the day of the session. You can pay online via card, by Zelle or in cash. No checks.
Reshoots, refunds, revisions:
I take great care to communicate to you how I work before and during the shoot. We review shots as we go along. My entire process is cooperative and I keep checking with you that what we’re doing is working for you. Likewise, I expect you to share your needs and requirements clearly so we can get you the perfect shots. This concerns lighting, framing, backgrounds plus hair and makeup. Photographs are artistic creations and interpretation is subjective. Therefore, I do not offer reshoots, revisions or refunds other than for technical failures or malfunctions that prevent me from delivering the agreed upon number of technically proficient images in clear focus.
All the above is non-negotiable. No exceptions.
