Common questions

How much does a photographer cost in San Diego?

At Kanyon Studio, sessions with people — headshots, graduation, portraits — start at $175. Brand, product and commercial work is flat by the day: $395 for a half day and $795 for a full day. Real estate listing shoots are a flat $325.

Why price by the day instead of per photo?

Because a shoot costs the same to run whether you keep ten frames or forty. Day rates mean you are never counting images against a budget, and there is no hourly meter running while we set up.

What is included?

Retouching and one revision round, web and social licensing, proofs within 48 hours, and travel anywhere inside San Diego County. Broader usage like print campaigns or billboards is written into the quote up front in plain English.

How fast is turnaround?

Proofs land within 48 hours of the shoot. Final retouched files usually follow inside a week. If you have a hard launch date, say so in the brief and the schedule is built around it.

Do I need a call to get a price?

No. Send what you are shooting and a flat number comes back within 24 hours. Every standard rate is on this page already.
