Looks
A look is typically considered one wardrobe change, one background and one lighting setup.

No sales tax on digital media:
All images are only delivered electronically through the internet.
If I give you the files myself in any tangible physical form including copying from my computer to your flash drive I would need to collect state tax on the entire cost of the shoot.
Electronic transfer of digital images delivered through the internet is non taxable in California the shoot is then a service and not a retail transaction.
