Everything You Need to Know About Your Luxury Portrait Experience

Katrina Cicero Photography — St. James, NY

Session fees range from $490–$7,500, depending on the type of session.
Artwork and digital images are purchased separately during your Ordering Appointment.

Every session includes professional hair, makeup, and styling, access to the studio, signature lighting, posing expertise, and a fully guided Ordering Appointment.

In addition, your session — depending on the type — includes either a credit toward your selection of images or a specific image count, giving you flexibility in how you build your artwork collection.

Custom + campaign sessions also include a style and concept consultation so we can plan every detail together.

Most clients invest $490+ — some fall in love with just a few portraits, while others invest in larger collections.

Clients seeking premium painted portraits, museum-grade canvas, wall art for multiple rooms, and heirloom albums may invest $10,000 or more.
Your investment is completely based on what you love.
