Grads: before you book!
Where precisely will I meet you on the day of our shoot?
Unless otherwise arranged, I will be standing just in front of Botany Pond at the start of the session. If you need assistance you can contact me directly at hello@markosheastudio.com or 703.973.3661.
What is the Portfolio Discount?
Currently, there is a $100 discount on headshots for those who consent to final photos being used for portfolio or advertising purposes. Photos from regular sessions will not be used for any portfolio or promotional materials.
Where do you shoot?
By default, shoots will tend to follow a plan that includes Botany pond, Hull and Cobb gates, and Bond chapel. Depending on the total amount of session time and client interest, we may adapt sessions to visit other locations, including but not limited to Ida Noyes, outside Rockefeller chapel, the Regenstein library, department buildings, Japanese (Osaka) garden, or greenery along the Midway Plaisance Park.
What counts as a group?
The group size is based on the number of graduates. You’re welcome to include family or friends for part of the session at no additional cost.
Do you offer group sessions?
Yes! For groups of 1-3 people, 60 minutes of session time is usually enough to ensure a good mix of group and solo shots across 2-3 locations. Groups of 3-6 people might plan for a 90 minute session. Groups of 6+ should contact me to discuss individual needs, as 120+ minutes of session time might be requires to fully accomodate everyone in the group.
Groups will need to choose one person as the group organizer. This person will book the session, handle the base session fee, and serve as the main point of contact. Everyone in the group will receive access to a shared private gallery from which they can download images and order prints (as long as emails are submitted in the intake form).
