Everything That Comes With Every Session
Regardless of which package you choose, here is what’s included in every single session. These are not upsells — they are standard.
Expert Expression Coaching
We coach you through specific emotional states and casting types — pulling out genuine expressions rather than asked-for poses.
Professional Studio Lighting
Clean, modern, industry-standard lighting that keeps your submissions current with what casting directors are responding to.
Wardrobe Guidance
We walk you through what to bring, what to avoid, and how to translate your casting type into a visual first impression.
Multiple Looks
Every session includes more than one casting type, so each image has a specific submission purpose.
Same-Day Image Selection
Review your images on a large monitor and choose your favorites before you leave the studio.
Natural, Industry-Standard Retouching
Subtle and realistic — removing temporary distractions, never changing your face.
High-Resolution Delivery
Formatted for Actors Access, Casting Networks, Backstage, print materials, and your personal website or IMDb page.
Unlimited Usage Rights
Your images are yours to use anywhere, forever — no licensing restrictions, no additional fees.
How to Choose the Right Session
Choose Acting Essentials ($275) if:
- You need a clean update to a single casting type
- You’re a student building your first professional package
- You have an audition or agency meeting coming up fast
- You’re early in your career and not yet submitting across multiple types
Choose Agency Submission ($495) if:
- You’re actively pursuing agency representation
- You’re submitting for commercial and theatrical work simultaneously
- You want a complete, versatile portfolio from one session
- Your current images no longer reflect your age, look, or career direction
- You want the pre-session wardrobe consultation call included
Still not sure? That’s completely normal. Call 314-221-2166 or contact us — most actors know which package is right for them within a two-minute conversation.
From Booking to Delivered Images
Pricing Questions — Answered
Is there anything else added on top of the session price?
No add-ons, no upsells, no surprises. The price you see is the price you pay. Only the number of final images and outfit looks changes between packages.
Do you offer student or young performer pricing?
We photograph teens and students regularly at our standard rates. If you’re on a tight budget, call 314-221-2166 and let’s talk through what works. All minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian throughout the session.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Sessions typically book 1–2 weeks out during busy periods, especially spring and fall audition season. If you have a tight deadline, call us directly and we’ll do everything we can to accommodate it.
What’s your cancellation policy?
Contact us as early as possible if you need to reschedule — life and audition schedules are unpredictable. Call 314-221-2166 or email contact@shariphotography.com and we’ll work with you.
Do I own the images after my session?
Yes. All images are delivered with unlimited usage rights, forever, with no additional fees — Actors Access, Casting Networks, Backstage, your website, IMDb, social media, and more.
Are images formatted for Actors Access and Casting Networks?
Yes. Every image is delivered in high resolution and formatted for Actors Access, Casting Networks, Backstage, and print submissions.
