DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES
Engage Design Studio is a digital photography studio specializing in headshots for
corporate, executives, actors, musicians and dancers, online dating, weddings, engagement portraits, events, fashion, and commercial assignments.
DIGITAL CORPORATE HEADSHOTS
Digital corporate headshot sessions allow you to view the headshots immediately ensuring you are getting the corporate headshots you want.
I have digital corporate headshot sessions with various time lengths allowing you to choose a session that suits your needs and budget.
Individual Corporate Headshots
Clients have been very happy with their results from a 45 minute
digital corporate headshot session. Keeping the digital corporate headshot session relatively
short produces the best results. However, if you
are not comfortable or have little or no experience in front of the camera
you should plan for a 1 hour digital corporate headshot session.
My digital corporate headshot sessions are casual
and I am very good at making you feel at ease in front of the camera.
Group Corporate Headshots
If you need digital corporate headshots for many employees
use 15 minutes per person as a guide when picking the proper session length. If you have employees that aren't photogenic or don't like to have their picture taken you should
estimate 30-1hr for them. If I come to your business
please add 30 minutes to the session length for scouting a location and setup time. The digital corporate headshot session
may take more or less time then estimated depending on how photogenic the employees are and any hair and wardrobe issues.
All Corporate Headshot Sessions Include:
- Unlimited digital headshots within the alotted session time.
- I will upload a zip file of the retouched hi–res digital headshot(s) to my server for you to download to your computer.
- If requested, I will burn a CD with your hi–res retouched digital headshot(s).
DIGITAL FASHION SESSIONS
Digital fashion sessions are for models who need to build their portfolio and are very popular because
you get considerably more images than traditional film sessions. Digital fashion sessions allow you to
view images immediately ensuring you are getting the images you want. I have digital fashion sessions
with various time lengths allowing you to choose a session that suits your needs and budget.
All Digital Fashion Sessions Include:
- Unlimited digital images within the alotted session time
- DVD with all hi–res color digital headshots and gallery
- Two retouched 9x12 digital images
DIGITAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Do you know any friends or family who had to wait six months to a year to get their wedding pictures back
from their wedding photographer, or even worse the wedding photographer runs off with their money and they never receive their pictures.
If you want your wedding pictures ready by the time you come back from your honeymoon you have come to the right place. Unlike most
wedding photographers I do not charge you extra for the rights to use or duplicate your wedding pictures so you save more money and you
are free to send the wedding pictures to family and friends.
If your photographer got sick, or you just put off looking for a wedding photographer til the last minute, give me a call.
I am usually available for last minute, short notice weddings.
I have experience photographing quick city hall weddings and weddings as long as 5 days. Please call for pricing for weddings that are longer then 1 day.
I do not schedule more then one wedding a day. I am available to travel anywhere for your special day.
I create a visual diary of your wedding day using candid/photojournalism, artistic, and traditional photography styles.
I take pictures of anything that catches my eye.
I am very easy to get along with, punctual, organized and dependable, and great at making people laugh. I will
shake my booty, make funny faces and voices to get you, your family, and guests to smile if necessary :P
I do not create wedding albums or print your images. However, I can create a DVD slide show with images and music from your wedding.
All Wedding Packages Include:
- Unlimited digital images within the alotted time.
- DVD with all hi–res color digital images and gallery
- Two digital images retouched.

TESTIMONIALS
Katherine
“Roger did everything possible to help assure that I was comfortable with the images the pictures portrayed,
and he listened to my concerns and welcomed my input. Having such a strong image to accompany my resumes and press
kits has definitely given me a leg up professionally...
the pictures paid for themselves when I got my first big television gig with a major recording artist on Saturday Night Live and soon after a gig playing with Lenny Kravitz!”
Lou Brock

on camera, and you were so into it and passionate. It was so much fun and you kept my energy
