REQUEST SERVICES

Thanks for submitting!

  • How do I book you?
    Request a session in the contact form above. The first step forward in the booking process is scheduling a free video consultation.
  • When do your books open?
    For portraits, I generally book out 1-2 months in advance during my peak times. Feel free to inquire any time for a future date, as long as it's at least one month ahead. For live show stills, I don't limit how many I take on per month, so I'm always open for inquiries. I typically announce/list early closings via instagram--but you can also sign up for email reminders at the bottom of this page.
  • Do you require a deposit?
    Yes. Typically, half of the session total is due up front as a deposit ($25 for live shows).
  • Do you do Family Portraits? Engagements? Weddings?
    I don't offer family or event services, nor do I specialize in couples. I cater largely to the various portrait needs of night life performers, which may occasionally include couples or maternity on a case-by-case basis. You can always submit an inquiry if you still think we'd be a good fit!
  • What forms of payment do you accept?
    I accept cash, Zelle, Venmo, Paypal (credit option), and checks.
  • I requested a session. What now?
    I'll be in touch! If it's a service I offer and am available for, we'll schedule a free video consultation to discuss further steps.
  • When will I get my images?
    For solo portraits, delivery of images is currently averaging 6-8 weeks. Please keep this in mind when reaching out for images needed by a deadline. For live shows, delivery of images is one week (pending completed payment and release forms from cast). Expedited service may be available at a higher price upon request, depending on my current work load.
  • What if I want/need my images sooner?
    I can typically offer one image to be delivered early as a courtesy if requested/agreed upon during the consultation period, however expedited delivery (~2 weeks or an agreed-upon deadline) for the remaining images comes with a 50-100% price markup. This markup is determined by the number of sessions already in line for editing at the time of the request. Images may not be expedited individually. I do not deliver raw/unedited files.
  • Do I get to choose my final photos?
    For creative portraits & solo headshots, yes. We sit down together over Zoom before editing begins, as you rank your images. The final delivery takes this ranking into account. For studio events and company-wide headshots, yes. You choose your limited images via photo album of watermarked proofs. For live shows, no. However, cast members are given the opportunity to request pre-approval via private photo album. A minimum amount of edits is guaranteed in your invoice, any additional amount is variable & may be subject to extra fees for some packages.
  • Can I just have the RAW images?
    Nope! This artist doesn't sell rough drafts.
  • What if I don't want my images shared?
    Sharing my work is an essential aspect of freelancing, and so is consent. For live shows, cast members are given the option of selective pre-approval or opting out of images entirely (and the images will not be used by anyone, myself included). For creative projects, exclusivity is available upon request for a 50-100% markup, depending on the length of time (temporarily until an album/publication release vs. indefinitely), and the images’ intended destination (large publication, Onlyfans, dating sites, etc). For bulk studio & company-wide headshot days, folks can opt out of sharing with no fee or withholding of images.
  • How much of my body do you edit?
    My general rule for retouching is that I only edit what is temporary (like blemishes) or changed by lighting (like under eyes). I do not alter permanent aspects of your body. However, you can make specific requests during our post-session review. You can also look here for a variety of before/after examples.
  • Can I purchase prints?
    I do not currently offer prints, but can provide a larger file copy for printing on your own, upon request. Separate licensing is needed if you intend to sell the prints.
  • Can I sell merch with my photo on it?
    Not without purchasing separate licensing. You can use the images we make together to advertise your sold products/services and as gifts/prizes, but if you would like to sell the image itself as a product we must agree on separate terms.
  • Where are you located?
    I am based out of Chicago, and my studio is located in Lakeview. Travel may carry an additional cost.
  • Do you have a studio?
    Yes! I largely work out of The Newport Studio in Lakeview. But there are multiple options for locations (indoor and outdoor) at different price points, tailored to the concept of our session.
  • Do you offer makeup or hair services?
    I do not personally offer these services, but can make recommendations for local artists to hire separately.
  • Can I bring a friend/my partner along?
    Absolutely! Bringing a trusted person can make you feel comfortable & can help spot some detail adjustments on set. Please no children or pets, though.

Working with Jess was an absolute joy. I felt very supported and empowered. Final edits were in my inbox exactly a month to the day after our session together, and they are absolutely stunning. Overall, I cannot speak highly enough of Jess' professionalism, keen creative eye, or the comfortable and fun environment they cultivated in the studio. I look forward to working with Jess again soon in the near future!
