If you are walking from Harrison Avenue the studio is located at the midpoint of the large brick 460 Harrison Ave building. The closest entrance to the studio space is 460B, which is halfway down the right side of the building. You will see a sign reading 460B in large metal letters protruding from the side of the building. Enter the building underneath this sign and go up the set of stairs directly in front of you and take a left. Walk down the hall and you’ll see us on your right.

9Is Retouching Included in my Package?
Some of our packages include retouching. While other packages have al a carte method to give the clients more options.
We also do our retouching in house instead of sending it to a third party merchant.
Pay for your session in cash instead of a credit card and receive 2 retouched images on the house. in addition to any already included in your package. A $100 Value.
10How many photos will I receive from my session?
Every session is different and there is no exact amount of final images per person. That being said, the average person receives roughly 40 images" per look." So the model portfolio package 2 for example which is a three look session would have roughly 120 final images to choose from. There is one exception however on the headshot basic package which is a limited package and comes with two final images of your choice but you will have roughly 40 to choose from.
11What should I wear for my headshot session?
Everyone always asks what should I wear for my headshot? A general rule is, solid colors works best. You want to stand out in your headshot so colors that enhance. The clothing should not distract. Try and avoids overly loud prints, patterns, logos and text. Solid jewel tones work the best. Also avoid florescent and pastel colors. White works inside but is distracting outside.
If in doubt what to bring for your headshot session feel free to bring a few options and we will be happy to help.
12Do I own the rights to my images?
All packages come with usage rights for self promotion and personal use. However you cant resell them for a profit, or sell them as stock photography.
