Model Session Info

How much does it cost?

Pricing is the same for the Model Sessions as it is for the Senior Portrait Sessions, unless you choose the Complete Model Package (see orange banner above!). 

Model session prices by the hour are available here.

I'm a young model and don't have a lot of money.  Is there a session where I could just get some web images to promote myself with? 

Sure.  If you don't the proof book and all that, you can pick out an Indoor/Outdoor or longer session, then deduct $40 from it for the proof book.  You'll need to come in and decide which photos you want me to process, 10 for Indoor/Outdoor.  I'll then retouch those images and provide the web versions (700 pixels on the long side) to you for your web displays.  Don't forget that if your session is on a Tuesday or Wednesday you get an additional $25 off.  For instance, if you schedule an Indoor/Outdoor session on a Tuesday with the MR/100 and no proof book your session fee will be $175-$40-$25 = $110.  If you'd like to buy prints for your portfolio, you have that option as well.

How does it work?

Before the session, I'll email you a questionnaire which will give me lots of information about the type of photos that you're interested in creating.  On the day of the session, you'll come in and we'll shoot.  We will then schedule a proofing session, where you can decide which images you'd like to order as prints. You will also receive web images (with my logo) of whatever you order for you to use on social networking sites, model sites, etc.  Pricing info is available here.

Question:  I really want to be a working model.  How do I get a job as a model?  How do I get started?

If you want to get started in modeling, you need to be self-reliant and a hard worker.  You have to do this for yourself!  The first task is to create a group of 10-15 fantastic images (my job!).  After that comes the hard part!  Have the photos printed as a portfolio.  You then have to put up these images on a web page or site which you can send potential clients to.  You then need to market yourself to the people you want to work with (advertising, graphic design, boutique fashion shops, clothing manufacturers, night clubs, people who put on conventions, etc.).  You need to have the drive to keep putting yourself in front of these people, even after they've said "no thanks" 2 or 3 times.  You need to keep pushing.  Talk to other models, find out what's working for them.  It's hard work to get noticed, but you might get a few jobs out of it.  If you're really successful, you could move to a bigger market where there's more companies creating more advertising and try your skills there. 

Here's my bottom line:

Do it because it's fun, do it because it's cool and creative.  Do it because you make insanely beautiful images. Do it to express yourself and show the world how you would like to be seen.  It's fun to be the diva, to be striking those poses and being glamorous.  Do it because it's exploring a dream.  Do it for yourself.

If you're willing to dream, contact me and we'll set up a session.
