Booking Details 2026
I work with models at all stages - from first portfolio builds to agency-signed talent refining their books. I've worked with talent represented by Elite Model Management, Women Management, Heroes NYC, Ford Models, and a range of boutique agencies across New York City and Los Angeles.
I shoot on a combination of digital and instant film, two mediums that together create something neither produces alone. Sessions are fashion-oriented and minimal, focused on natural light, authentic presence, and clean agency-ready imagery. The work is intimate and shaped as much by the environment as the person in front of the lens.
Session Options
I currently offer four streamlined portfolio session options, designed to keep the process simple and focused.

Session Notes
Before the session, please arrive with a strong, well-considered wardrobe selection. Hair and makeup should be camera-ready, with simple variations planned for additional looks (hair pulled back, slicked, wet, etc.).
Sessions are collaborative, working with the environment and available light as it presents itself. I offer light direction focused on presence and framing, not step-by-step model coaching. These sessions work best for models with some prior on-camera experience who are comfortable working in front of the lens. I recommend reviewing my recent work in advance to understand the visual language and approach of my sessions.
Times listed are rough estimates, sessions may run shorter or longer depending on how we're working together. The goal is making sure we get what your book needs.
Studio sessions or location rentals can be arranged upon request. Studio rental fees are not included in the session rate and are paid separately by the client.
Agency-signed talent If you are signed, please consult with your agent on wardrobe and overall look direction prior to the shoot.
Turnaround time: Deliverables will be sent within 2 weeks from session date. Rush delivery is available at an extra cost.
