Hi! I’m DJ Corey.

You can call me Dan :)

I'm an actor, a bit of a director. Definitely not a Disc Jockey.

I get my first camera because I want to make funny YouTube videos, but videos take a long time. Should I figure out how this camera works? What did I just do?  

Wow, this camera takes pictures.  Beautiful pictures.  What if…

The best impulses can lead to the unexpected.  I'm now a photographer, and I love it.

Sessions are in my home studio in Takoma Park, Maryland (just inside the I-495 Beltway). When you come for a session, you’ll probably be greeted by my wild 9 year old daughter, or by my wife Katy, who will likely be cooking something delicious in the kitchen.

When you come to our home, you are a guest of our family!

Style & Pricing for Headshot Sessions

I am a big fan of natural light! In the best conditions, it’s soft, diffuse, and flattering. That’s why I use high-end cinema lighting that replicates natural light. If outdoor conditions are agreeable, I love to go outside and see what the sun and sky have to offer!

Our pricing is based on the number of distinct “looks” you need from a session. I light each look uniquely, and each look typically involves a change in wardrobe and background. Throwing a jacket on top of a shirt or adding glasses does not constitute a new look.

Pricing works like this:

  • 1-look session + 1 retouched image of your choice: $240

  • 2-look session + 2 retouched images of your choice: $360

  • 3-look session + 3 retouched images of your choice: $480

  • 4-look session + 4 retouched images of your choice: $600

… and so on. And with each session, I’ll deliver a downloadable gallery to you of all the unretouched shots we make as high-res JPEGs. If you want additional retouched images, they are $40 each. Note that I do not print headshots, but I can recommend a good printer.

In order to confirm an appointment with us, you will need to pay a $100 non-refundable deposit if you are not getting make-up or hair services, and a $150 non-refundable deposit if you are getting make-up or hair services.

If you are interested in something customized or incorporating some other portraiture into your shoot, let’s talk. I’m game for (almost) anything!

Working with an HMUA (Hair and Make-Up Artist)
