Investment/Session Q & A

How long are your sessions and how much do your session cost?Session details:

Family Sessions
  • My session fee is $500 dollars for which include immediate family members only. A session includes a  shoot at any local location or your choice and a flash drive or CD with approximately 30 of the high resolution, edited images. Family sessions are priced a little more than an individual due to the fact that there are more faces, and getting everyone to smile and do the same thing... (well, you know how that goes in just a normal everyday photo). The larger the family the bigger the challenge as well as the more time and work, and  focus on detail. Session allows for 2 locations close in proximity.
Individual Sessions
  • My session fee for an individual shoot is $350 dollars. This includes a  shoot at any local location and a flash drive or CD with approximately 25 of the high resolution, edited images. Includes (2 wardrobe changes).2 locations close in proximity.
Bridal Session
  • My session fee is $500 for which includes the bride. The bride will receive a flash drive or CD with approximately 30 high resolution fully edited images. If there is a fee to get into a specific location for your session (some places charge to take photos on their property), the bride is responsible for the fee and making sure it is paid for the day we shoot. 
Newborn Sessions
  • My session fee for newborns is $500 dollars. Newborns typically take a few hours since the cute little bundles are so unpredictable. A newborn session's primary focus is the sweet little baby, but we will take a few shots with family and siblings too. I only do lifestyle newborn shoots. That means capturing images of your baby as they are. I don’t do stylized or posed newborn shots.  This shoot also includes a flash drive or CD with approximately 30 of the high resolution, edited images. For newborn shoots it is best that the baby is less than 10 days old.
Baby's First year Session
  • This is a package for those that like to plan ahead. The fee is $1000 and includes a newborn session, 6 months session, 1st b-day session with the cake. With each session you will receive a flash drive or CD with approximately 25  high resolution, edited images and an framed 8X10 of your choice. 
  • The payment for this session is broken down into 3 installments due at time of meeting for each session.
  • Break down:  1st installment- $500 due at first meeting at New Born session. 2nd installment- $250 due at 6 months session. 3rd installment $250 due at 1st b-day session.

Payment:

A  NON- REFUNDABLE deposit of half is due at time of booking. The rest is due at session prior to the shoot in person. The deposit Checks are to be mailed to me at time of booking or if we meet prior to session you can pre-book with cash or check at our meeting.

I accept cash or checks, sorry no credit cards. 

NO REFUND POLICY-CANCELLATION:

How Many People can be in a session? 
My standard fee includes immediate family members. An additional fee of $20 is added for each additional subject.

What is a Mini Session? 
A mini is a very short and sweet session at a reduced price with less photos. The location is set by me and I offer several time slots  in a day back to back. Your time is about 20 minutes and no outfit changing is allotted for. You receive a CD with 5 digital images and printing rights. Mini sessions are great if you just want a few photos without the expense of a full session. It is important to be on time to a Mini, because I will likely have others right behind you booked for their session.They are fast paced and good for those that don't have a lot of time for a full photo session.


When do I get my photos? 
 Please allow 3-4 weeks for your photos. Sometimes they are ready prior to 2 weeks. It depends on the time of year.


What kind of sessions do you do?  
am not a studio photographer, I do natural light photography only. My sessions include: New Born, Baby, Toddlers, Children, family, single portraits, model shoots, graduating seniors, couples of all ages, engagements, and bridal portraits, daytime outdoor events/parties. Sometimes I will do a home session in your home especially for new borns.

What is your style of photography? 
 In keeping with natural light photography, I try to achieve a natural looking photo a bit posed and a bit fun and candid.. It depends on the type of session that I am doing and the mood or look the client wants. Some locations naturally create a mood. I am not much into heavy edited sessions. My style favors slightly edited photos. I will punch out some shots with vivid color, although, I try to keep my editing to the bare minimum which favors a natural timeless photo, so 20 plus years from now you won't have to explain, "that was what was "in" pertaining to photography back-in-the-day." Now, that doesn't mean you won't have to explain your clothes or hair style. (wink!)


How much do you charge for a party or event? 
Price is based on event, time frame needed and location. Please check with me about the details of your party/event for that info. Pricing differs based on all mentioned criteria. Events start at 600$ for 3 hours of shooting and a flash drive or CD of the event. If you have an event that is less than 3 hrs. we can discuss my fee based on your event.


Can I choose my location? 
I love taking photos of people in places that are significant to them. You can choose your locations or I can suggest area's that might be of interest to find the perfect spot you will love! I have some favorites if you have no idea where you'd like to be photographed.

Thank you for your interest and feel free to contact me for more info, what to wear, large groups or events, or with any questions I have not addressed.
