Print Portfolio
When I am not working with my private clients, I am styling catalogues, commercials, and editorials. I am known for my positivity, organization and taste level. I care about the end product of every shoot I work on.
After fifteen years of delivering every type of aesthetic for a plethora of brands, I am narrowing down the projects I take on. I am most excited to curate sophisticated or thoughtful looks for fun, modern or upscale brands. If your shoot needs an experienced and detailed wardrobe stylist, please give me a holler!
Generally, my rate for a 1-day shoot with 2-4 talent and 15 looks is $3000. I charge $1000 for a 10-hour day on set, $1500 for prep and $500 for wrap. My prep work includes a wardrobe planner pdf with 2-3 client revisions, 1-2 video meetings with the client, coordination with the talent to ensure accurate sizing and “talent own” requests, as well as a fitting with the talent.
As for wardrobe costs, I charge $100 – $200 per look. Cost depends on high-end desires and whether or not you require specific shoes. If I am able to use mostly “talent own” footwear and basics then I can keep it to $100 per look.
To give you an accurate quote for your project, please let me know the…
- Number of adult talent
- Number of child talent
- How many days on set
- In studio or on location
- Length of time the talent will be wearing each look
- Print, video or both
- General body types of talent
My rate can be flexible for the right project, so shoot me an email if your budget is close!
Obviously a full look costs more than $100 – $200. From shoes to jewelry, a head to toe look can be $1000. Here are the ways I am able to keep wardrobe costs down…
- My stock wardrobe, shoes + jewelry
- Borrowing from stores/designer/boutiques
- Renting from wardrobe houses and other rental sources
- Returning items I’ve purchased (If you are not doing a formal “studio pull,” stores do not condone/allow this, but stylists in good standing get away with this regularly)
A note on returns: A stylist stays in good standing with stores like Nordstrom and Target by always keeping a percentage of everything they purchase. A stylist who “over returns” gets black listed. The standard is to keep 20% of what you have purchased.
As for incidentals, any shoot that involves talent wearing a clothing item more than 15 minutes risks incidentals. Any item that has body odor on it cannot be returned to a store whether it was purchased or borrowed.
On an in-studio shoot, stylists tape the bottom of the shoes to ensure the shoe remains “new”. Taping the bottom of a shoe only works for in-studio shoots where the ground is clean, flat and flawless, and the model/actor does not have to do more than stand or sit. Walking more than a couple steps in a shoe that is to be returned is not allowed – moving creates creases in most shoes.
Taping the bottom of a shoe does not protect it from a floor that is not perfectly flat and clean. A location shoot always has miniscule rocks and sand that creates divots in the shoe through tape. So all location shooting requires the purchase of any shoe worn. I often keep the budget down by having talent bring their own footwear for certain looks that just require a flip flop or black pump etc.
Charging, let’s say, $150 per look is the balance between the savings I get from borrowing and the incidentals.
Last bit: I keep all the items that get “ruined” at each shoot. This is why I have a lush stock wardrobe, which your shoot will benefit from. But I am flexible on this when I am paid my full rate.
