3-5 Business Days *Project Pending
You will receive a CD with all of your photos on the same day as your shoot. We generally have a 3-5 business days turn around on final retouched photos. This time frame depends on how many photos you pick for re-touching. We recommend printing 4 x 6 Prints of the photos you are considering. Show them to your team (agent, manager etc.) and have them initial the backs of their favorites to help you narrow it down. Your commercial agent will likely want a different pic than your theatrical agent. Get as much feedback as you can and then make your final decisions.
Re-touching is basic only with 1 revision - special requests will incur extra charges
*Website Packages have a varying turn around depending on how many pages are ordered and how quickly you submit the required information. Generally, the $199.00 Actor's One Page takes 1-3 business days.

Flash Websites ROCK!!!
Most people would ask why Flash? Contrary to popular belief Flash websites are now searchable along with all pictures and text on your flash site. A Flash website looks very professional and is a great way to impress. Also, all paid hosting websites come with free google analytics so you could track who is coming to your site. This is a great tool to have.
The Little Room Studio has Flash Website packages starting at only $199 for an Actor's One Page Website - See Website Template Samples in the "Pick a Template" Section of our website.

I just picked up my pictures and they are beautiful. I came to you to get a great head shot and ended up with five that I love and couldn't choose between, so I got copies of all of them! I love them and am so grateful that you recommended Argentum. They were wonderful and did a great job. Your ears should be ringing because I've been talking about you for weeks!
I really appreciate all of the little extra things you did to make the day of the shooting great for me and all of the wonderful pictures that came out of it. I should get lots of work because I now have pictures that I am proud to submit.
Thank you again and again.

What a pleasant surprise. I really was not looking to go for my photo shoot. I need them primarily for my practice website and for various other serious applications. I was not feeling all that "pretty" LOL. All I have to say is that I left that session with a smile and so appreciative of these two wonderful ladies working as a fun, low stress team helped to get some great shots. The pictures are some of the best I have ever seen with me as the subject. The lighting was excellent and the ability to take my disk home was super convenient. Highly recommended and I will go back again when needed.

First off, I must say that I have been depending on Yelp reviews for years now but have never felt compelled to write a review myself...until now! The Little Room Studio is an awesome studio that was top notch from the photographer and the service to the pictures they shot for us!
