Minneapolis Headshots by Sarah Pierce Photography

"Sarah, your work is simply amazing! I thought I knew what to expect after my first sitting, but my latest image is even more pleasing - and just a quick 15 minute shoot! I brag you up to all my colleagues and friends and tell them how easy it is to work with you. I sincerely hope your business continues to flourish and I look forward to seeing you again with my next freshened look."

- Cynthia H.

- Wes W.

"Sarah you're not making it easy...I was going to be ecstatic if I actually could stand one photo of myself. Honestly this is going to be difficult to choose. I'm very happy with quite a few of them...wow! Nice job, Sarah!!! Truly 100xs better than I thought anyone could make me look."

- John V.

"Sarah blew me out of the water with her talent and her ability to make having a head shot taken fun! I was so pleased when I received my photos and so excited to update all of my profiles with them. The hardest part was choosing which ones to keep as they were all fantastic! I will be recommending Sarah to all of my colleagues and I definitely plan to use her in the future."

- Alissa K.
Talent Acquisition Consultant

"Sarah was so wonderful and EASY to work with! I absolutely hate having my photo taken, and knowing it was for my professional headshot, I was even more nervous. Sarah put me at ease right away. She is very calm (I am not) and didn't react to all of my nerves and self-image concerns (in a good way). When I received my photos, I literally could not believe how beautiful they were! I am a very difficult person to impress, and she exceeded my expectations by 1,000%! My husband was so impressed that we ended up buying two photos, because he couldn't decide on only one. Thanks Sarah for being so easy to work with and for giving me a beautiful photo I can use for years to come!"

- Adrienne C. Laursen

"Sarah, wow! I love the images. Thank you so much for working with me. I have definitely been recommending you to all my friends and colleagues as I show them the magic you worked on me."

- Lin H
Cyber Security Specialist

"Sarah is such a pleasure to work with at every step. I had been avoiding getting headshots done, because I found it to be intimidating. She somehow made the process of getting headshots done simple, even fun! Every step in the process was easy - from reviewing package, booking a session online, the session itself, image review and final turnaround - Sarah was friendly, thorough and very timely throughout. And the final results were wonderful. Highly recommended!"

- Suchi Sairam
Co-Founder and Chief Catalyst at Enlivense LLC, Founder of Hala Vandanam Dance Co.

"There aren't enough superlatives for Sarah's work as owner of Minneapolis Headshots! I dread having my picture taken, and the last time I did was several hairstyles and more than a few years ago. Sarah set up a professional hair/make-up artist for me at her studio before the session. I'm all about effortless, and that's the kind of service that makes my life easier. I'm so thrilled with the results, and I plan on updating my headshots every two years (or sooner!) with Sarah. I can't recommend her enough! She's reasonable, talented and delightful! You'll love her and her work!"

- Amy Coletta
Regional Manager of RE/MAX Results

"I was 120% satisfied with the result of my business portrait. I hardly felt like I had to do any work but just smile! I also appreciate how you kept checking back with me regarding my preferences for retouch and portrait background. You took into account my personal preferences all the way until the end. Sarah, you are one of a kind and a professional. I see why your business is growing!"

- Mike Zambrano

- Jane Maringka

"Sarah brings out the very best in people and then captures that angle beautifully with her photography. Sarah brings to the engagement a perfect blend of approachable personal style, professional skill and truly immense talent. I highly recommend her, in fact, every corporate communication department in the Twin Cities should be on a first-name basis with Sarah."

- Joy Schmelzer
Manager of Public Relations and Social Communication

"These all look amazing! Thank you so much for everything, and for a truly professional experience all around. Your expertise got us through the process quickly and with a ton of fun...we will be recommending you to everyone we know!

- Nicholas Doucette

"Sarah, You did such a fantastic job! I normally have a hard time choosing the "best of the worst" because I do not like photos of myself. HOWEVER, I loved these photos!! I chose the best of the best..I truly felt that I could not go wrong with any of the photos that you sent to me. Thank you so much for a great photo session..and you are now my personal photographer!!!"

- Cheryl Lietz

"You made it fun and easy to smile! My husband said these were the best shots he'd seen of anyone, including people in magazines. Now he wants to get in to see you for his professional biz shots too. The clarity and definition are amazing. -- you do amazing work. I'm really very happy with them and can't wait to take down my old DIY shots!! You made all these shots look very flattering/professional, so it was hard to choose."

- Audrey Holocher

Q: Our company needs multiple business portraits taken. Will you travel to us?
A: I would love the opportunity to work with your company. Please contact me for more information.

Q: I love more than one photo of myself. Can I purchase additional images? (Believe it or not, this happens all the time!)
A: Yes, you may purchase additional digital images for $45/each. You may also purchase professional quality portrait prints. I use only professional photo labs and you will be thrilled with the quality!

Q: When is the session fee due?
A: Session fee is due immediately upon booking. Date will not be held until session fee is paid for.

Q: What should I wear? How can I prepare for my business portrait/headshot session?
A: Please click here for a quick and easy guide to preparing for a session.

Q: Do you travel?
A: Yes, I will travel. Please contact me for on-location rates and availability.

Q: My co-worker and I want to get our portraits taken at the same time. Would you provide a discount for us?
A: Yes! Please click here for pricing and scheduling for 2 people together.

Q: Do you retouch images?
A: Select images from the session are retouched and all ordered images are fully retouched.

Q: How many proofs will I be presented with?
A: The number of proofs depends on the type of session and how many backgrounds/outfits changes you select. Those images that do not meet my high expectations as well as those images with eyes closed, heads turned, and unpleasing expressions are permanently deleted.

Q: I need to reschedule. How can I do that?
A: I understand that sometimes you might need to reschedule. Rescheduling a session is permitted in accordance with my business policy. I require at least 24-hours notice to reschedule a session. Requests for rescheduling made within less than 24-hours notice will incur a $25 rescheduling fee. This compensates me for the time I've spent preparing my studio, set and equipment according to your specific needs, which I always complete within 24 hours prior to your arrival for a scheduled session.

Q: Is the session fee refundable?
A: Completed sessions are non-refundable. If you need to cancel beforehand, you may do so at least 48-hours prior to the session and you will be refunded 50% of your session fee. If you are canceling within less than 48-hours, your fee will not be refunded. This policy is in place because I spend considerable time preparing for your session (studio, set and equipment set-up), and have forfeited offering your timeslot to another client. The easiest way to ensure you don't forfeit your session fee is to contact me to reschedule with more than 24-hours notice.

Q: What does the session fee cover?
A: The session fee covers the photographer's talent, time spent preparing and consulting with the client as well as time spent photographing, selecting and retouching images. Finally, it includes access to a private, online gallery with retouched images from your session to choose from. You also get one or more high resolution image (depending on session type) which can be used on websites, blogs, social media, business cards, etc. Ordered images are retained for 1 year after session for possible future use by client.

Q: How will I be able to view my proofs?
A: Within 7 days of your session, your photos will be presented to you in an online, private viewing gallery.
