When you book a headshot session, you can expect to spend 1-2 hours in Central or Riverside Park. The atmosphere she creates is fun and relaxed, enabling her to capture you at your best. She recommends that you bring 4-5 outfits for varied looks. Rain or shine, Xanthe shoots undercover so weather does not interfere with the shoot. A professional make-up artist is available should you need one and must be booked in advance of the shoot and is a separate cost. Please see Hair/ Make up for more information.
Several days after the shoot, you will receive a cd of your shots - a great variety of pictures in different locations, with little or no need for touch-ups.
The standard headshot session fee is $650; payment due on the day of the shoot. This includes a CD with an unlimited number of shots and files ready for printing at Reproductions. A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required to secure your session.
Student discounts are also available.

"If you want a great headshot, I recommend Xanthe Elbrick. She is the best kept secret, and takes beautiful pictures at a great price." - Geoffrey Soffer, Casting Director, UGLY BETTY
"I've never felt more relaxed on a shoot than I have with Xanthe. She has an uncanny way of making you feel relaxed and want to open up with her. The photos she took are the best I have ever seen of me. You'd be crazy not to use her. She also took a photo of me with my dog that I will cherish always. Xanthe has a beautiful spirit and soul...she sees the best in everything." - Allison Janney, Emmy Award-winning actress
"Xanthe takes pictures that draw your attention immediately. She captures the best in you- a sure way to make the top of the pile. Getting such results requires art and skill -things Xanthe has as a performer and photographer in abundance."
- Michael Cerveris, Tony Award-winning actor
"Xanthe takes a picture like she's talking to you, I've never felt so comfortable in front of the lens... and she knows what its like to be on the other side of the camera. Her ability to capture you when you are truly at your best, is a rare commodity in this business." - Jonathan Dokuchitz, actor
"This did not feel like a photo shoot. It felt like a wonderful conversation between two friends. I never felt 'posed' in any way, and did not think so many wonderful photos would come out of not even trying!" - Kevin Carolan, actor
"Xanthe has given me some of the best shots of my life!" - Allison Mackie, actress
"I have headshots that never imagined would come out as nicely as they did... where other photographers were charging $1,000+ and wouldn't even speak to me directly, Xanthe made me feel really relaxed and comfortable..." - Ally Stock, student and actress
