FAQ
Pricing questions answered.
What's the difference between Standard and Premium?
Standard ($169) is a coached studio session with retouching — right for most professionals. Premium ($349) adds a professional hair and makeup artist, extended session time, multiple outfit changes, and more frames to choose from. Both include retouching and the money-back guarantee.
Can I upgrade from Standard to Premium on the day?
Upgrading on the day of your session depends on hair and makeup artist availability — that's scheduled in advance. If you think you might want Premium, it's better to book it from the start. Call us at (515) 897-9126 to ask about availability.
Are there group discounts for on-location sessions?
The per-person rate is already tiered — 2–5 people pay $149/person, 6–10 pay $125/person, and 11+ pay $110/person. This is the group discount structure built into every on-location booking. No negotiation needed — the rate drops automatically as your headcount increases.
Is there a simple /pricing/ page I can link to?
Yes — our pricing page shows a concise summary. This packages page gives fuller detail on what each option includes and how to choose. Both are kept in sync with current pricing.
