50 bucks an hour. That's what you wanted to know, right? It's pretty simple--I love photography, and I have a day job. You benefit from them both. The money you pay me helps support my gear and website and other incidental costs. My day job pays the mortgage, and puts food on the table. That's how you get me for $50/hour, not $250.
Unless we're talking about a headshot for a single person, you should plan on a minimum of two hours for a typical photo shoot for a family, senior, band, circus troupe, whatever. Actually, I've got a special for a circus troupe--free, 'cause that would be wicked cool. In exchange for that $100, you'll get full-resolution, non-watermarked images. No gotchas. No extras. No $10 4x6s.
I like location work, and I like studio work. You've seen the best of my work here, but I'm not afraid for you to see what I post on Facebook. Browse through my FB photos, and you'll see that the images I've published here aren't just lucky shots. I do this level of work for every client. Every time.
And in case you didn't notice the title of the web site, I live in Columbus, Ohio. Of course I'll travel to Paris to document your family vacation, but most people I work with are near Columbus.
