Commercial & advertising.
Campaign, advertising, and brand photography scoped to how the images will actually be used. This is bigger than a headshot: strategy, usage, and licensing built into the price from the start.

A photo used internally and the same photo on a billboard are not worth the same thing. So they are not priced the same.
Commercial work gets quoted per project because the variables that matter are the shoot itself, what gets delivered, and where the images will run. From a mayoral campaign to a gym's promotional push, the scope drives the number.
Every quote arrives with licensing already written into it, so you know exactly what you can do with the images and for how long before anything is signed.
Pricing
Quoted to usage.
Travel free within 30 miles of Sioux Falls; beyond that, round-trip mileage is added at the current IRS standard rate.
Commercial / Advertising / Branding Photography
Every quote is written before tax. Applicable South Dakota state and municipal sales tax is added to the invoice.
Four things decide what a commercial project costs.
Send these four and a quote comes back fast. Guessing at them is what turns a simple project into a long email thread.
- Scope of shoot: how many days, how many locations, how much crew and setup the concept needs
- Deliverables: how many finished images, whether video is included, what formats the assets ship in
- Where it runs: internal use, organic social, your website, print, or paid advertising
- License term: how long you need the rights, and whether the usage is exclusive
Every project is scoped around scope of shoot, deliverables, and where the images will run, social, print, a campaign, or paid advertising. Reach out with the details and a custom quote gets built around it.
Licensing is priced around how and where the images are used, internal use, social media, or paid advertising each carry different value. Licensing terms are included in every quote so there are no surprises later.
Yes. Ten months as the official campaign photographer for Christine Erickson's 2026 Sioux Falls Mayoral campaign, covering rallies, fundraisers, and press moments from launch through election night. Campaign packages are scoped the same way as any commercial project.
Video can be quoted into a commercial project directly. If what you actually want is a steady monthly stream of photo and video for your pages rather than a one-time campaign, Social Media Content & Management is the better fit and it is priced monthly.
Probably not. Individual headshots, Brand Sessions, and on-site team days are flat-rate and listed on the Corporate, Business & Team Headshots page. Commercial pricing exists for work that runs as advertising or a campaign.
Pricing & terms updated effective 8.20.2026. Existing contracts, pending or signed, are not affected. If you reached out before this date, your original pricing still stands.
