Brand New Photo Session Package for 2024

Introducing a brand new photo session package for 2024. Typically my photo session packages have been built around a certain number of edits per package. However some clients haven't exactly known going into it how many they'd like.

So I've decided to offer a more straight forward plan where you pay a sitting fee per look, and then you can purchase how few or how many photos you'd like. And this could still save you money!!!

For example, my mini session is one look and three fully edited photos for $200. With this new package it would be a $50 sitting fee and $30 per photo that you wish to have edited. That would be $140. For my regular session which is six fully edited images for $350 which is a two look package. Under the new package it would be $100 sitting fee, and $180 for the six fully edited images which would be $280.

The benefits to this is you aren't locked into any specific number of photos in a session. Some clients have told me they only need 1-2 headshots and my smallest package has been three.

This new package does come with some restrictions. First off, I'm doing this as a trial run to see how it goes. I'm only going to open up five of these spots, see how they go and evaluate it. Second, these are in studio only. For a rate like this, I'm not going to travel for these sessions. I love working in my studio. I feel most of my best work is done there. These will be done in studio. Third, you must pick out how many looks ahead of time. The sitting fees are to be paid in advance as a deposit for your time and they are non-refundable. If you need to reschedule due to something, 24 hour notice is needed. If I am already at my studio setting up when you contact me to cancel/reschedule the day of, you will need to pay another sitting fee for a session. (I live 40 minutes from my studio. It's a lot of time and gas to drive there only to have people no show or cancel) These sessions are for personal clients only, not commercial.

Why am I doing this? Well my old packages aren't going anywhere. They are still available to be booked, especially for out of town jobs and commercial type jobs. I wanted to add an easier way for people to book without having to pre-decide on how many photos they'd like. I also want to streamline how long some sessions take. Currently, sometimes people will still book a session and then still bring extra outfits or ask you to work extra stuff in. This way, it's a little more clear up front with what we are doing. But I also wanted to give people a that have been considering working with me but finances may be holding them back from a larger session, this way they may have the chance to get a session of their own. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

The TRD Show - Episode 1 - Interview with Lauren Dunham

Several years ago while I was working on Ink Revolution, I had the thought that I'd like to do a web based show that would be an extension of the magazine. Something where you'd just sit down and talk to various models, tattoo artists, and musicians. I never got around to it, but with moving back to my old studio recently, I decided that I wanted to sit down and do something based off that idea. 

Enter The TRD Show - this show isn't based solely around tattoos, or even just photography, although there will certainly be some shows based around those things. The main focus is I want to show kinda behind the scenes of friendships that develop beyond shoots and share peoples stories. Each person out there has a unique story to themselves, and I'm constantly amazed by the people I get to work with. So I hope a little bit of that comes out in the show and hopefully you'll find it interesting as well. My goal is to keep these shows between 10-15 minutes or so, so I hope you dont get too bored with it. Would love to hear some feedback and keep watching back at Thursdays at 7pm.
