Good to know

Headshot pricing — frequently asked questions.

Is retouching included in the price?

Yes — every session includes professional retouching at no extra charge. There are no per-image fees or hidden editing costs. The price you see is what you pay.

How soon will I receive my finished photos?

Retouched, high-resolution files are delivered to your private online gallery within 48 hours of your session. Need them sooner? Ask about rush availability when you book.

What's the difference between Standard and Premium?

Both include coaching, retouching, and 48-hour delivery. The Premium session ($349) adds a professional hair and makeup artist, extended session time, and more looks — ideal when you want a fully polished result.

Do on-location rates drop for larger groups?

Yes. Per-person rates go from $149 (2–5 people) down to $125 (6–10) and $110 (11+). The larger your team, the better the per-person value. Request a team quote for exact numbers.

Do you shoot at our office or only at your studio?

Both. Studio sessions are at our northwest Des Moines location (4910 Urbandale Ave, Suite #204). For teams of 2 or more, we bring a full studio setup to your office anywhere in Central Iowa. See on-location headshots.

What if I'm not happy with my headshots?

We stand behind every session with a 100% money-back guarantee. If you're not completely satisfied, we refund your session in full. Read the full guarantee details.

Can I add hair and makeup to any session?

Hair and makeup is included in the Premium studio package ($349). It's not available as a standalone add-on — upgrading to Premium covers it entirely.

Are event headshots priced differently?

Yes — event bookings are a flat half-day ($850, up to 4 hrs) or full-day ($1,500, up to 8 hrs) rate, not per-person. That covers setup, shooting, and gallery delivery for all attendees. Learn more about event headshots.
