Portable Portrait Pricing
I bring a complete portrait studio to your event — lighting, equipment, and an assistant who manages the lighting dynamically so every portrait is individually lit rather than shot under fixed conditions. The result is a genuine fine art portrait made in two to three minutes per subject. Not a photo booth. Not a snapshot. A real portrait.
I work from a stationary portrait station or move through the event as a roaming portrait photographer, depending on the venue layout and the nature of the event. I'll advise on which approach works best for your situation during our consultation.
| Duration | Price | Approximate Portraits |
|---|---|---|
| 2 Hours | $900 | About 24 portraits |
| 3 Hours | $1,200 | About 36 portraits |
| 4 Hours | $1,500 | About 48 portraits |
| Each Additional Hour | $400 | About 12 portraits |
Capacity and planning: I can accommodate approximately 12 portraits per hour. For events with more than 50 guests, I recommend a minimum of three hours to ensure meaningful participation without guests feeling rushed or turned away.
Portrait counts are approximate and depend on venue layout, event flow, and guest participation.
What subjects receive:
- One or two lo-res digital images delivered within one week at no charge
- Option to purchase hi-res files and prints through a personal online gallery
- Print purchases may be applied as a credit toward a full portrait session, up to a maximum of $200
Available for:
- Galas and fundraisers
- Corporate and private events
- Wedding receptions
- Vintage and costume events
- Nightlife and performance events
Capacity and planning: I can accommodate approximately 12–15 portraits per hour from a stationary portrait station, and 8–12 per hour when moving through the event. For events with more than 50 guests, I recommend a minimum of three hours to ensure meaningful participation without guests feeling rushed or turned away.
A note on weddings: Portable Portraits works beautifully as a standalone service at wedding receptions — an alternative to a photo booth that gives guests something genuinely worth keeping. I work alongside your existing wedding photographer rather than replacing them. Contact me to discuss adding this to your reception.
