If you need a portrait with character, then let's shoot! I learned photography taking promotional photos for theatrical performances, and now I bring my eye for character to personal portraits.

My middle-of-the-recession-during-the-dead-of-winter price for a portrait shoot is $150. A standard headshot pose is included. I don't usually provide make-up or hair styling services; please let me know if you have special needs.

My turnaround is lightening-fast and my customer service is excellent. Call or write to schedule your shoot!

If you need photographs of people, I can deliver creative and attractive images on short notice with lightning-fast turnaround. My photos have been used for promotional purposes on web sites, in printed materials, and in newspaper display advertisements. (See Client Links, below.)

I can shoot at your home, business, or any public location. My shoots are relaxed, improvisational, and fun. I can provide useful images within hours of the shoot, if needed. My customer service is excellent, and I am reliable and helpful to my clients. (See Testimonials below.)

My standard price is $200 for:
  • a 90-minute shoot,
  • a CD containing all photos from the shoot in JPEG format at full size,
  • adjustment of up to 4 images (color, exposure, contrast, and cropping) to create final versions.
Further work costs $40/hour. Prints (8x10) are $7 each. Contact information is above.

Testimonials
“David Baum's photographs for Annex Theatre productions have become a cornerstone of our marketing campaigns. The images pop and crackle – they've given new life to our website. David is gracious, professional, responsive, and an all-around pleasure to work with!”
--Bret Fetzer, Artistic Director, Annex Theatre
“We had a blast working with David! We came in with a vision of what we wanted, with little understanding of what it would take to accomplish that, and David took great care to help flesh out our ideas while also adding his own creativity and experience to the shoot. He was flexible and inventive, and built such a professional atmosphere that we were able to relax and experiment with confidence to get what we needed. The result is a set of photos that I'm extremely confident will serve us well for quite a long time.”
--Scotto Moore, Director, Elegant Catastrophe
“David is EXCELLENT! He helped to transform our ideas into something we couldn't have imagined. I most appreciate the way he worked with us. He is very professional, and at the same time very personable and really a joy to work with. He listens. This is key! And he makes it clear that he's there to augment YOUR vision. I felt like he respected us as artists, so there was mutual trust and understanding.”
--Alysa Haas, Tumbleweed Bandits
