YOUR INVESTMENT
EVERY SESSION STARTS IN THE SAME PLACE. HERE'S HOW EACH ONE IS BUILT.
PORTRAIT SESSION
For the person who has been waiting. Every tier starts from the same place. The difference is how much time we have together.
THE INTRODUCTION - Starting at $495
You've been waiting for the right moment. This is it, one session, one location, one version of you that finally looks like you feel on your best days. We'll talk briefly before we shoot so nothing catches you off guard. You'll walk away with fifteen images you'll actually use.
60 min · 15 edited images · one location · private gallery
For the person who needs one image that finally feels right.
THE FULL PORTRAIT - Starting at $750
Some people aren't one thing. This session makes room for that. More time means more of you, a different side, a second location, a look that doesn't have to compromise. We'll spend thirty minutes before the session making sure we're building toward the right image, not just any image. You'll leave with twenty-five portraits and a clearer sense of how you want to show up.
90 min · 25 edited images · up to 2 locations · private gallery
For anyone building a presence, personal brand, new chapter, or simply tired of being underrepresented online.
THE WHOLE TRUTH - Starting at $1,100
This is the session for people who are done doing it halfway. Two hours. Three locations. A conversation before we ever pick up a camera. We'll build the imagery together so that what you walk away with isn't just a good photo. It's a complete record of who you are right now, before this chapter closes and the next one opens.
2 hrs · 40 edited images · up to 3 locations · wardrobe guidance · private gallery
For creatives and professionals who want imagery that tells the whole story, not just the highlight.
This isn't really about the photos it's about the moment, the milestone, the relationship, the chapter you're living right now.

For the person who just got somewhere.
ALREADY HERE — Starting at $595
Before we shoot, we talk. That conversation is where the session actually starts. What this moment means, what you want to carry forward from it. One location, no rush, no performance. Just you at the threshold you crossed.
75 min · 20 edited images · up to 2 locations · milestone prep guide · private gallery
For the version of you that made it here. Before the next chapter starts.
THE FULL ARRIVAL — Starting at $950
Some milestones are bigger than one chapter. More time, more locations, a thirty-minute story conversation before we ever pick up a camera. The session breathes. The images hold the full weight of what it took to get here.
90 min · 35 edited images · up to 2 locations · in-home or studio option · milestone prep guide · wardrobe consultation · private gallery
For the person whose milestone involved more than one chapter and deserves imagery that reflects it.
THE RECORD — Starting at $1,400
This is for the milestone that deserves a document, not just a photo. A full strategy conversation before the camera comes out, three locations, and priority editing. We build the session around the story. What you leave with is the most complete portrait of who you are at this exact threshold.
2.5 hrs · 50 edited images · up to 3 locations · in-home or studio option · milestone strategy session · wardrobe coordination · priority 5-day editing · private gallery
For anyone whose threshold was hard-won, long-coming, or simply too significant to document halfway.
This isn't really about the photos either. It's about the threshold you crossed, the version of you that made it, and making sure that person doesn't go unrecorded.
Reserve Your DateCOUPLES & ENGAGEMENT
For the couple who wants to remember what this actually felt like. Pick the time that fits the story you want to tell.
THE FIRST GLANCE - Starting at $650
Ninety minutes that belong entirely to the two of you. One location, no pressure, nowhere else to be. We'll ease into it, most people need the first fifteen minutes to stop being aware of themselves. We have ninety. That's the whole point. That's when the real ones happen. You'll leave with thirty images and proof of exactly how you looked at each other during this season.
90 min · 30 edited images · one location · private gallery
For couples who want an hour that's entirely about them, engagement announcement, anniversary, or simply because.
A LOVE UNFOLDING - Starting at $950
A relationship isn't one thing. This session gives it room to be more than one. Two locations, two and a half hours, fifty images, enough space to move through the quiet and the playful, the tender and the loud. We'll build a shot list together beforehand so the day feels intentional without feeling scripted. What you'll have at the end is a real record of where you two are right now.
2.5 hrs · 50 edited images · up to 2 locations · personalized shot list · private gallery
For couples who want the full arc, engagement sessions, save-the-dates, or anyone who wants more than one side of their story told.
WRITTEN IN LIGHT - Starting at $1,400
Everything, held. Three hours, three locations, golden hour timing optimized so the light earns its place in the images. We'll coordinate outfits, plan the arc of the day, and build toward a gallery that reads like a chapter of your story, not a collection of nice photos. Seventy-five edited images and an engagement announcement design included, because after a session like this, you'll want to tell people.
3 hrs · 75 edited images · up to 3 locations · outfit coordination · golden hour · engagement announcement design · private gallery
For couples who want nothing left on the table, multiple locations, full-day arc, and a gallery that holds all of it.
"Thank you Alvin for capturing our many stages together 🫶🏽 (Engagement Session, Maternity Session & Family Session)" - Donnie & Dominique
Reserve Your DateBRANDING & EXECUTIVES
For the professional whose presence should speak before they do. Each tier is built around how much of your story we have time to tell.
FIRST IMPRESSION - Starting at $750
Most people are still using a photo from three years ago. You've changed, your role, your focus, how you carry yourself in a room. This session closes that gap. Ninety minutes, two looks, thirty images that reflect where you actually are now. A brief strategy conversation beforehand so we're not guessing what the image needs to do for you.
90 min · 30 edited images · 2 looks · strategy consultation · private gallery
For the professional who is done being represented by an image that doesn't know who they've become.
BEYOND THE TITLE - Starting at $1,250
A headshot is one frame. This session builds a library. Two and a half hours, four looks, both environmental and studio options — enough range to cover your LinkedIn, your speaking bio, your press features, and your website without them all feeling like the same photo. We'll spend an hour in strategy before we ever pick up a camera, because the strongest brand imagery starts with knowing exactly what it needs to do.
2.5 hrs · 60 edited images · 4 looks · environmental + studio · brand style guide recommendations · strategy consultation · private gallery
For the executive who shows up differently in every room and needs imagery built by someone who understands the difference.
THE COMPLETE PICTURE - Starting at $2,100
Half a day. Six or more looks. A full brand strategy session before we start so every frame has a purpose. Hair and makeup coordination, lifestyle and environmental and headshots, a full visual identity built in a single session. One hundred images, priority editing in five days, and a quarterly thirty-minute mini-session included so your imagery grows with you. This is for the founder or executive whose image isn't just a photo, it's infrastructure.
4 hrs · 100+ edited images · 6+ looks · hair & makeup coordination · priority 5-day editing · quarterly mini-session included · private gallery
For the founder who understands that infrastructure built without intention eventually costs more than it would have to get right.
"Alvin photographed both me and my art, and the results came out way better than I expected. He didn't just take pictures, he understood what I was trying to communicate and helped bring that vision to life." - Kanye Tomiwa · Artist & Founder
Reserve Your DateFAMILY SESSION
For the family that knows these years move fast. Every tier gives you the same care. The difference is how much of your story we have room to tell.
JUST AS WE ARE - Starting at $595
One hour, one location, twenty images. No elaborate setup, no poses nobody can hold. Just your people being your people, the noise, the closeness, the way the little ones won't stand still and the way you're all better for it. This is enough. For most families, it's everything.
60 min · 20 edited images · one location · private gallery
For families who want one hour that looks exactly like a Sunday with their people.
THE SEASON OF US - Starting at $950
A little more time, a little more room. Two locations means a change of scene, somewhere familiar and somewhere that surprises you. Ninety minutes is enough to let the session settle, for the kids to stop performing and start just being there. Thirty-five images from a day that felt like yours. Most families wish they'd chosen this one.
90 min · 35 edited images · 2 locations · private gallery
For families who want breathing room, more time, a second location, and space for the real moments to find their way in.
EVERYTHING WE'VE BUILT - Starting at $1,400
The whole story. Two and a half hours across three locations, individual portraits, full family groupings, multigenerational moments if you want them. Enough time for the session to breathe, for something unplanned to happen, for you to stop thinking about the camera. Sixty images that don't just document your family, they honor it. The one you'll still be grateful for in twenty years.
2.5 hrs · 60 edited images · 3 locations · individual + multigenerational portraits · private gallery
For families who want the whole story, across generations, across locations, with time to let it all unfold.
"What truly stood out was the care he took incorporating our family heirlooms into our portraits. A personal, sentimental touch we didn’t expect." - Swar & Todd
Reserve Your DateBEFORE YOU REACH OUT
EVERYTHING WORTH KNOWING BEFORE THE CONVERSATION STARTS.
SPECIAL PROJECT
Not every project fits a package. And that’s not a problem, it’s usually where the most interesting work happens.
When you reach out, share the basics: your name, preferred dates, location, and a general budget range. From there, walk me through the project, what it’s for, who’s involved, the feel you’re after, and how the images will be used. A timeline, any special requirements, or a creative brief helps too.
The more you bring to the conversation, the better I can show up for it.
ADD-ONS
Reach out before adding anything. Some of these are already built into your session depending on what we’re doing, I’ll tell you upfront so you’re not paying for something you don’t need. Pricing is shared after our planning conversation, when we know what the work actually calls for.
Available when they apply: Annual Portrait Subscription starting at $1,800/year (for The Ongoing Story) · In-Home Studio starting at $150 (for Your Space, Your Light) · Studio Rental billed at cost (for a Preferred Studio) · Photo Assistant starting at $250 (for A Second Set of Hands)
PRICING TRANSPARENCY
Most people hesitate to reach out because they don’t know what something costs and don’t want to ask. Publishing pricing removes that entirely. You can look, decide, and reach out already knowing we're aligned, which makes the whole thing feel easier before it even begins.
One more thing worth saying: these prices reflect ten years of craft and a deliberate choice to work selectively. I'm not running a volume business. I take a limited number of sessions each month so that every one gets the same level of attention, the planning, the presence, the editing, all of it. The entry point is $495. The standard doesn't change.
