RATES & STUDIO INFORMATION

This page exists to offer clarity around my current rates and working structure.

Because each project is different, the pricing below should be understood as a baseline for conversation, not always a fixed quote. Select projects are accepted on a concept-led or editorial basis, and rates, scope, timeline, and usage may vary.

Final deliverables are shaped by pacing, collaboration, and the nature of the work rather than rigid image quotas.

LOCATION NOTES

Unless otherwise stated, the rates listed below apply to on-location sessions within the Charleston area.

Studio sessions are available upon request and may require additional coordination, rental, or setup fees depending on the scope of the project.

Travel outside of the immediate area may incur additional fees.

STUDIO MATERIALS

Studio sessions may include the use of seamless background paper.

Use of seamless background paper is subject to a $25 paper pull charge per color, reflecting material use and studio preparation.

Clients are encouraged to discuss their background preferences in advance to enable appropriate planning.

ADJUSTING SCOPE & BUDGET

I don’t negotiate against my own labor, but I’m open to adjusting scope, pacing, or deliverables to meet a project's needs.

Budget conversations are most productive when introduced early. Sliding scale, editorial consideration, or special circumstances are offered intentionally and on a case-by-case basis.

NEXT STEPS

If this framework feels aligned, I’m happy to talk through your project and determine the best approach together.
