FAQs

Starting in 2024, I will no longer be offering sessions on Sunday. I have committed to observing the sabbath day on Sundays going forward where I will be focusing the day on spending time with God, family, and friends. Resting and not working.

Yes, you can find and contact an artist here

Each session has a different length of time. When choosing your session, you’ll be able to see how long that particular session runs. In my experience, males will finish quicker than the allotted time.

Los Angeles: Wilshire/Westlake

1930 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 705, Los Angeles, CA 90057

Phoenix: 5403 W Glendale Ave, Glendale, AZ 85301

Rule of thumb is that you want to show up to your casting looking like you do in your headshot, so if you hire a professional hair and makeup artist and you look absolutely nothing like your headshot then you will have problems. If you find yourself extremely terrible at doing your own makeup (which should look natural) then hire a professional. If you’re confident, then no you do not need one.

You get all of the raw files. There is no set number. As we shoot, I show you the images and then once we both like what we see we move on. We don’t move on until we’re both happy with what we see.

Same-day delivery on all of my sessions and less than 3 days for retouched images.

I only shoot indoor. It’s better to control the lighting and we don’t have to battle against the weather and temperature.

I send via a dropbox link.

I require FULL payment upfront. I’ve been doing this too long and learned that if I don’t take payments upfront people will ghost me and waste my time. As a result, I don’t view any inquiry as a serious booking until FULL payment is made in advanced on my website. I also have a proven record of integrity with this policy.

No cash. Either credit card payment on my website or venmo, zelle, or cashapp.

Yes, you can bring your shaving tools and we can shoot your first looks in a beard and then you can use the bathroom to shave for the latter looks.

Depends on the session you book. If it’s an hour long session, that most likely won’t be feasible. But if it’s an 1hr in a half and you can do it quickly then sure!

You can receive a refund up to 24hrs after you booked your session for buyers remorse. After 24hrs, there are no refunds.

I take it case by case. If it happens in LA and you text me beforehand giving me a heads up then I’m usually willing to reschedule the session. If it happens while I’m shooting in a different city, then we can reschedule for whenever I come back into town or if you come to LA, but there are still no refunds. Travel sessions are much more scarce since I’m not in that city often. When someone fails to show up without warning or notice (which the only justifiable reason for that would be if they died) they will not be refunded.

A look means 1 outfit.

The only glasses that work are ones without lenses. If you wear lenses, then the glare will obstruct your eyes and it will not be usable. If you want to shoot with glasses, then find ones without lenses.

No. That’s just considered 1 look.

Send me a text if you’re running late so I know you’re trying to arrive at least. If you’re late after 30min, then I charge a $30 late fee. If you’re late that you miss the entire session, then I charge a $100 rescheduling fee.

Yes, I highly recommend every image be retouched. It is a separate fee that can be added on to every session.

This actually very common scenario. I ALWAYS have to remind actors and models, when you’re represented that means these agents work for YOU. They make a living off of YOU. It’s your face, body, and talent that they are getting a percentage of. That means the only permission you need is your own. The reason why most agencies have a list of recommended photographers is because most actors & models are uninformed on what GOOD & USABLE images look like. As a result, they can hire cheap photographers instead of effective and great. Consequently, it then makes it harder for agencies to market them and get them work. So that’s why it’s easier for them to refer to a list of photographers who have a proven record of turning over usable images of their clients. I am one of those reliable photographers whether or not I’m on their list or not. So it’s a decision for only you to make since it’s your money you are spending at the end of the day.

Photographers own the copyrights to any images they create which gives them the authority to use the images as they see fit. I use all my images for my website, social media marketing, and advertisements to promote my business. By electing to hire me, you acknowledge that there is a possibility of me using your images for those purposes.
